Plateau
Good afternoon, its been 3 weeks since my last confession.
Recently i have noticed that I have reached a sort of plateau ( i think that's what it is) , I'm working out as normal but I'm not really seeing any more improvements. I have been considering for a while of increasing the amount of cardio. I was going to start back running but the physio has advised me not to. So I have decided to take part in an on line challenge

I was considering some sort of HIIT . Probably Tap out to do along with the kettlebells. so it would be Kettlebells in the morning and Tap out in the evening. The problem I am having at the moment is the dreaded middle age spread! you see like many men my age I have a slowing metabolism, and the belly is getting bigger and no matter what I do I just cant shift it. I have never once in all my 36 years been considered fat or overweight ( the complete opposite) and at the minute I am working out more than I ever did. In the past I worked as an outdoor instructor so I was active all the time, Hill walking, kayaking etc. So I was thinking that I'm not doing enough cardio to shift the excess fat that middle age spread is giving me. What do people think?
Will this be any good?
Should i just get bigger Kettlebells?

It might be a bit of craic. I have been doing my current workout since Christmas, so it might be time for a change.

Stop Farmer Stop!
Yesterday morning i went and had a chat with my physio about my chronic knee pain, after a few exercises and various twists and turns we have discovered that I have exactly the same issue with my right knee that i had with my left knee three years ago. When she measured my leg above the knee, my right leg is two cm smaller than my left, this is mostly because my Vastus medialis is smaller and weaker than it should be. this causes the foot to turn out a little which puts pressure on the outside of my leg and my IT band
As I said before this is the same problem I had on my left leg so i was a little confused about it.
Now if your a reader of my blog you will know that I have a dedicated leg day and i do a fair bit of squats etc. and i have a long history of hill walking and cycling so I thought these muscles would be good and strong.
when I had the injury on the left side I didn't do anything to fix it, I just stopped running and it went away.
( after awhile).
The bottom line is at least six weeks of physio activities before i start back into long distance running. I'm going to try and do some shorter distances over the weekend and see how I get on.
