Off we go! #juneathon Day 1

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 6 Comments

So it begins…a month of exercise. Tonight's opening blog post is not going to win any awards.

Due to my slight injury niggle I visited the gym tonight with the idea of doing a bit of exercise that didn't aggravate my dodgy calf.

The answer: cross-trainer.

Did 30mins without any adverse effects. Even managed some press-ups and some plank action to celebrate. Day one. Done.

Today's exercise:

Cross-trainer mileage = 2.78

Press-ups: 20

Plank: 69secs

Here we go again! #juneathon

Monday sees June begin. But more importantly it sees the start of Juneathon – a month of daily exercise.

In the past Juneathon, for me, has always been about running. I've aimed to run every day and rack up a load of miles. But this time I'm approaching it slightly differently – I'm going to mix it up a bit. Mainly because for the last 4 weeks I've been struggling with a bit of an achy calf muscle. So less running this time round and a bit more other stuff. Not sure what, but have plenty of ideas….

  • Some nice gentle jogs – walking/running?
  • Head to the gym a bit more – cross training, rowing and a few weights?
  • 100 press-up challenge?
  • 200 sit-up challenge?
  • Plank challenge?
  • Get out on the bike a bit more?

So not only will the exercise be a bit different – it might mix-up the blog posts a bit as well.
