Diary Entry - Monday 25th

This is just going to be a short log of my training for today. It's to hold me accountable but mostly for me to review and gain confidence from. I focused a lot on recovery today after a 10k race yesterday, used massage gun, compression tights, active recovery at a slow pace and as the days are drawing in I used bright light exposure. 

I started the day off running about 2k with the dog stopping to sniff, my wife normally does this but is poorly at the moment. 

I then had the morning and afternoon school runs with my daughter on the scooter. Both were a relaxed pace and felt surprisingly good. I took the dog for a walk at lunchtime and enjoyed the midday sun. 

I did a small strength workout, focusing on my arms first thing and another during a meeting I listen into in the afternoon that included core work. I also have an airofit so work that into my day as well. 

I focused on listening to a few mindset podcasts and audiobooks to focus on my mental health. Weight wise I had a new lowest weight in 9 months at 146 but I'm still recovering from the race so that might dip back up. IF wise, of course sticking to Carnivore, I ate 2 meals, breakfast at 9 and lunch about 11 and felt pretty good and full all day. 

In the evening I had my running club but it was just a social plod. It worked out to about 11km. Monday does tend to be a bigger day for me, normally the biggest in my week and mostly felt good despite the 10k.
