This was a tough one. The run was actually pretty good. I felt a bit stiff on the start but I think it was the first run where I actually felt pretty loose and in pretty good running form. I was pretty relaxed on the run, and I felt like I was pushing a tougher pace than normal.

The weights were tough – particularly after a run, but we pushed to get it all done. It was really the second set that was the killer – my arms felt like falling off.

Tomorrow it’s a boxing night with an exercise circuit, followed by Squash on Wednesday night.
