My training yesterday and today

Yesterday I was back at the gym after two weeks of. One week to recover from my sickness. And the second week as of inertia of laziness.

Oh boy it was hard yesterday. I was not able to come close to the level of cardio I used to be two weeks earlier. I read an article a few weeks ago. I talked about a guy in his 40s that had the cardio level of a 20 years old and he participated to over 30 marathons that year.

That's may be true that someone in his 40s can develop the cardio and stamina of someone in his 20s. But my guess is that you acquire it slower than the 20 year old and the effects fade much faster. I can tell! After only two weeks off I'm but the shadow of what I was.

But anyway the important part is that I started back (which in itself is an accomplishment). And here are the stats.
