Triandrun

I'm back from my regular stint with Gordon, personal trainer to the stars plus li'l ol' me.

Due to some sort of diary confusion, he was still working with another client when I bowled up, so I did half an hour on the treadmill before my session with him and I'm therefore finished for the day.

One thing that he mentioned in passing is that there is a specialist triathlon shop just up the road in Wimbledon. I've had a quick look at the website (http://www.triandrun.com/) and that definitely looks like a must visit.

Gazing more in sorrow than in anger at my belly, he also announced that he's written out a diet for me. It a complete description of three meals and two snacks a day for five days.

I can't start it this weekend as I have dinner guests on Saturday and I'm pub quizzing on Sunday evening, but it does fit nicely into next week's Monday to Friday slot as I can come off it to watch the rugby next Saturday after our trial run in Swansea.

I promise to do it exactly and publish the diet and results here.

The following "avoid at all costs" list is on the front page; alcohol, ice cream, mayonnaise, pickles, low fat spreads, salted butter, tomato ketchup, ready sauces and gravy mixes.

A teetotal work week awaits then. By my own estimate I consumed 7,492 kcal in booze over the last seven days. Not good if one pound of body weight is equivalent to 3,500.
