Back in the gym today for Legs. I trained with a partner for this one and had a really good session. Those couple of day’s rest did me good.
Scale weight is stabilised at the moment, which is where I feel most comfortable at right now, so I’m happy hovering here, but will continue to react to how I feel in terms of whether to add/remove food or take more rest/increase output.

There’s no problem eating carbs at night. Overall energy balance matters more. Place your carbs where it suits you best. Most will have the majority of carbs around the training window to support performance and recovery. Some like carbs in their last meal pre bed to help with sleep or to help fuel morning training the next day. If you have an active job, you may want carbs in every meal throughout the day. It really comes down to personal preference and need.

Today’s a scheduled rest day. I’m glad I took yesterday off training as I’m feeling more rested today, so I should be good to get back in the gym again tomorrow. I did a short run this morning, then have just been getting on with work and house jobs, and I’ll get out for a walk in the sunshine this afternoon at some point.

I’m with Kerry here on the Sony ones from Amazon. They’ve lasted forever and the charge never seems to go down!

Today would have been an upper day, but I woke feeling a bit run down and under the weather, so decided to take a day off training and just do a couple of walks instead. I’ve learnt my lesson before when I’ve ignored my body and pushed through, so I’m hoping the rest and good food will have done me good.

Fats are calorie dense and can make digestion more sluggish in high amounts, which is why most people opt for a lower/moderate intake, with higher carbs.
Higher carbs will also allow for more readily available energy.
Some people, however, feel good on higher fats and are mentally more alert.
The bottom line is do what works best for you.

Today’s been a lovely rest day with my husband. I did a run this morning while he cycled, then we went out for some lunch, spot of shopping, a walk along the quay and now settling in for a movie evening.

A fantastic Leg session went down this morning. Since reducing my leg training to twice a week, I get really excited about these sessions now and my recovery is much better for my running.
My strength is creeping back up again too, which is probably a combination of adding a little more scale weight back on since my holiday, getting back into a regular structure again and reducing my training volume. My sleep has been very good recently too. 4 caps of Dream Sleep a night is an absolute must!

No need to use with your post workout meal as you’re at your most insulin-sensitive after training. Use with meal 1 and with a carb meal pm, just not post workout.

Sounds like your body is just tired, dehydrated and out of routine. I would get yourself back into a good routine, back on the diet, hydrate well, get your sleep back on track, then the training performance will improve. You could take a few day’s rest, but I would personally just reduce your training volume and intensity for a week, ease yourself back in, move some blood around, then once you’re feeling back on track, ramp the training up again.

Today’s been a good rest day. I got lots of work, admin bits and bobs done, did a long run in this morning, met up with a good friend for coffee and now waiting for my husband to get back for the weekend 🙂

Not at all. You will learn a lot from coaching yourself. It’s easy to blindly follow a plan when working with a coach, without questioning anything, which can be great further down the line when a relationship has been built, you are at a high level and need that thinking and questioning taken away, but in the early stages it will allow you to listen to your body more, react, trial things out and find out exactly what works for you.
