R2D23 – Core Synergistics + Running

Today I got up early, had a small breakfast and then started stretching around 9:50am again and headed out for another run. I was really sore today, especially on my ankles and inner thighs. But I ran the same run as yesterday, same distance, but I ran it in 16.22min today, I shaved off 7sec even though I was really sore LOL. I had an older gentlemen towards the last bit of my run, ride his bike next to me for a bit in order to let me know I was doing 11.3km/hr, not bad.

Then I kept walking, I walked further and then walked back home. A girl that works at Sports Check told me about a website called www.mapmyrun.com. She told me that I can map my run exactly where I went using a Google map, so even off the the roads and it would give me distance and elevations, I tried it and I loved it, So I mapped my run and it turns out it is 2.93km, and I also mapped my walk which started from where I stopped running, it was another 5.06km. It also tells me approximately how many calories I burnt, the website asks for age, height and weight to determine this and it seems I burnt in total 466 calories, today and yesterday as well, that is on top of what I burn with P90X. WOOHOO!

Here is the map of my run:

My second run 

This one includes an elevation chart at the top. You can see the actual route.

Here is the map for my walk home:

my walk home after my run

As you can see I walked further before coming back home, I even mapped the loop I took around the exercise section of the beach LOL, but I did not workout there today because I had Core Synergistics to do today and I was pretty sore.

I waited till 5:50pm to do my  Core Synergistics since I was pretty sore. Lets see how I did:

Reading this chart:

  • R = Reps
  • S = Seconds
  • N = No Knee
  • K = Knee
  • P = Plank
  • C = Chaturanga
  • W = Weight
  • M = Medium Resistance Band
  • H = Heavy Resistance Band

This is the first of this routine that I do on my Round 2 therefore there is no comparison. But hey I brought it even though I was sore LOL. I started with 50 Stack Foot/Stagger Hands Push-Ups, which was awesome. I did not add any weights to the leaning crescent lounges because I was sore. 15 sphinx push ups without knees and 15 more with my knees, those are awesome.

The lunge and reach, today I did it with my 20s, not sure why I decided to do this, but I did them all, towards the end they get tougher with this weight but I still managed to do them all.

Prison cell push ups, I did 15, now remember this, for 1 rep it is 3 push ups, plus leg in for the first 2 push ups and then stand up for the last push up. so basically 3 x 15 = 45 push ups, that’s pretty awesome!

Side hip raise, I managed to do 25 on each side, without letting my hips touch the floor, oh yeah.

Plank to chaturanga run, man these puppies are tough, but I managed to go down to chaturanga twice, it was tough to do the run with the soreness on my legs.

The reach high and under push ups I had more in me than 20, but I ran out of time LOL.

Dreya Rolls, I was able to get up a lot easier, still need to use my hand to support myself to get up, but I can do it a lot faster.

Plank to chaturanga ISO, oh man did all 30sec on both plank and chaturanga, it was awesome.

Well tomorrow I have Kenpo X, which is cardio and it’s going to rain, so I will take a break from running and do my Kenpo, unless I feel crazy and do Cardio X as well or something else, but I think that is all I need. I may take 2 days off from running to give my legs time to recuperate and then start on Wednesday again, considering I have to work Tuesday morning and be there all day, and I believe it is also X Stretch that day so no biggie.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
