UPDATE Sept 23/08: Measured training update
Currently I'm taking a break from martial arts, for financial and time reasons. I hope to start up again towards the end of the summer. All I will be focusing on is strength and conditioning training for at least the next month.
Stats:
5'11"
170 lbs (August 2/08), 162 lbs (May 5/08)
Current status:
I have been out of regular training for almost 2 months, life got in the way of achieving any type of regular routine. Still going to try and set times when I can to see where I'm at and where I can improve.
Measured training sessions:
Goals:
Keeping the goals brief and typically light to allow my body a chance to get back into a regular exercise routine.
Diet & Rest:
Still going to keep these D&R goals. With my move I should transition more into a raw diet of 60/40 split but I'm not adding it as a hard rule as of yet.
Heart-rate (HR) info:
Karvonen zones (as of Sep 20/08)
Switching over to more interval training and using the Karvonen Formula instead of the default Polar heart rate zones. Going to use the above zones through October and re-assess and make new ones in November.
