Feeling a little aimless nowadays.

Don't have the drive to go out and kill myself during trainings, afraid, more injuries may occur? Or perhaps I've just plainly lost the drive to achieve my goal.

Couple of weeks ago I set out to go all out for my running... I was going to get these damn legs on track, had the most awesome runs, but then, my shins started to hurt. More and more now, until everyday when I wake up in the morning and walk down the stairs to go to school it hurts.

Damnit, why are human bodies so frail? I need to inject myself with adamantium or heck, even stainless steel would suffice. Small matter 2 weeks back too, dunno if its the pullups but I sprained a ligament on my left arm too.

This is retarded, how am I supposed to train like a mad man if these set backs keep occuring and stopping me?

Went to Bishan gym today with sis, talked with one of the fitness instructors there. She's really nice. She said that if I'm running uphill the chances of injuring your shin area are quite high, especially if you do it often. I think... those sprints up the hill in the neighbourhood and in school are to blame then. Or perhaps its just that I've been training the upper body too much and not enough on the legs. So the weight on top is too much to bear for extended amounts of running.

Not that I could have helped it... the runners knee episode in my second year totally killed my desire to run, so the only thing to do was weights with hong. Damnit... should have done more strength training for legs too.

Then again, perhaps I would have been a less effective rower if I didn't totally specialize in upper body strength training? I'm training to be a rower, not some runner, afterall. And no matter how much Jeremy bitches about my running, the fact is, you can be a learner of all, but a master of none. True, running helps build stamina, but the lactic capacity for your legs and arms and lats are two totally different things. You may be able to run 2.4 under 9 minutes, but that only your leg's atp capacity having a high averaged max. But no matter how much you run you can't transfer that capacity to your arms.

I guess thats what JC meant by his comparison to our training and acjc's.

Recovery plan:
.Swimming for cardio
.More strength training for legs
.Train cardio with arms

Blarrghhhh
