I am going to give an overview of my training plan in another post, as I to don't have the go over it properly now.
So here are some current physical stats of where I am (2 weeks after finishing a 100km trail race.)
Age: 38
Weight: 84.8KG (187lbs)
Height: 186cm (6'1")
Resting Heart Rate: 44bpm
Body fat: 17% (from not too accurate bathroom scales)
Today's workout:
The general rules I work with in my circuit sessions is that you do not work the same muscle group back to back, enabling a non-stop session (the super sets).
The quality of each exercise is more important than the quantity.
Posture is very important, initiating each exercise from a strong core.
