Meals

7:00AM - Shake with 1/3 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 scoop WPC & 350ml milk
10:30AM - Apple
1:00PM - 125g tuna slices in olive oil, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber & pepper sandwich on mixed grain bread
4:00PM - 220g baked beans & a banana
7:00PM - 200g pan fried chicken breast & mixed veges

Didn't want to risk hurting myself seriously so gave the run a miss today. My glutes have been sore from running lately which has never happened before, and now my thighs are really sore from those squats yesterday. Worked all day which didn't help it (my work is just heavy lifting).

Also slept through my alarm today so didn't get to have eggs which sucks. Lucky I make my shake the night before, I just sculled it down, made my sandwich and left.

Yeah I wouldn't think I'd be able to do much. Hopefully all good tomorrow.

Woke up this morning and my thighs/glutes feel worse, damn. What the hell is going on

Work is gonna suck today.

Ok after a bit of research on google, I realised it's not my glutes that's hurting, it's my hamstring. I've been feeling pain in it for a week or two, but usually only when running. Doing those squats was a bad idea cause that's when I made it worse.

Exercise

Summer soccer

Didn't run again today because my hamstring/thighs were feeling worse. I didn't have time anyway cause I didn't get home from work til bout 5:30 then had to go to summer soccer.

At summer soccer my legs weren't that bad when running around so I'm going to try and run tomorrow and Saturday, maybe Sunday too.

My creatine got here today, hopefully my ON whey comes tomorrow and I'll be all set for starting weights next week

Meals

8:30AM - 3 fried eggs & a shake with 1/3 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 scoop WPC & 350ml milk
12:00PM - Tuna chunks in springwater, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber & mustard sandwich on wholemeal bread (ran out of mixed grain) & an apple
3:00PM - Small bowl of leftover spaghetti bolognaise & a banana
4:45PM - PWO shake
6:00PM - 200g chicken breast fillet & veges
9:00PM - 220g baked beans & 15 almonds

Exercise

6km run with incline (32 mins @ 12kmph)

Didn't feel 100% running but I wanted to push myself as much as I could so I did it at 12kmph as opposed to 10kmph. Really did thrash my legs which felt good. Made sure I stretched them well afterwards, so hopefully they'll be alright tomorrow so I can run again.

Got my ON Gold Standard whey today and had it after my run. I got double rich chocolate and the taste is alot stronger than my protein direct stuff, which I don't mind. It tasted kinda peanutty to me, don't mind it though.
