Sorry for not keeping up to date with the blog but I had a virus that knocked me off my feet.
I have some good news though.. I'm fighting on 14th May 2011 for British Cage Fighting Association, Braintree, Essex. Its a Semi Pro fight and I agreed to the fight on Tuesday night but my opponent is T.B.A
I started back training last night after a coarse of tablets from the doc's. I did some light training just to see how I got on.
Today I have done weights and some boxing training (which went ok but my timing was off)

March 29th - Tuesday
I got on the bike yesterday and did 16.10k in 38mins 19secs, Not sure if that's a good time or not time?
I woke this morning feeling tight and sore in the back of my thighs, so I did 20mins stretching to loosen the muscles off. Not sure I did enough yesterday as it was 8pm by the time I finally got on the bike.
Today is a cardio day for me and I like to mix it up with body weight training. First thing this morning I did the following
10 mins Skipping
100 - Left jabs on the heavy bag
100 - Right Jabs on the heavy bag
100 - Left front kicks
100 - Right front kicks
2 min rest
100 - Crunches
100 - Side Crunches - Left
100 - Side Crunches - Right
100 - Push Ups
Lunch
3.2 mile run tonight. I like to do the run either first thing in the morning or in the evenings because the roads are less busy and its cooler too. I normally do this run in 24 - 26 minutes. I'm curious what other people do this in? Please do put your times down it you want.
The guys I train with have some amazing times they run in but they are about three stones lighter than me. (I'm 205lb at the moment)
I've been training for a little while now since my meningitis and I am definitely feeling the improvements.

March 28th - Monday
Its funny really I look forward to Sundays so much because it's my day off, but once it comes I find myself wanting to to do something. It's like an itch I really want to scratch. Yesterday I wanted to do some body weight training (crunches, press ups, side crunches etc..) I was watching Rocky 4 on ITV4 so I guess watching Rocky training with the Cart and rocks was a driver for that.
All joking apart I get this every Sunday without fail. But the difference today is that I normally have to push myself to get going on Mondays but today I was really up for training.
I've started taking Creatine and I finished the stacking up yesterday so I'm on the 1 -2 scoops a day. I took my scoop of creatine before I trained (about an hour before) When I was ready I did
30 mins skipping with the heavy rope.
10 - Bent over Rows
10 - Upright Rows
10 - Good Morning
10 - Split Squats (Each side)
10 - Push Press
10 - Straight Legged Dead Lift
10 - Military Press
60 secs rest and repeat 6 more times. (This is a Randy Couture S&C routine)
After this I rested for 2 mins then did
100 - Crunches
60 sec rest
100 - Side Crunches
60 sec rest
100 - Twist Crunches
I then stopped for lunch. Not the most interesting of lunches, I had mushroom and chicken Pate on Wholemeal bread. Two sandwiches. A cup of green tea and 1 apple.
I work for myself running a couple of companies which I have to work into my day to day training.
It's about 4.30pm and I am going to get onto the Recumbent exercise Bike for 40mins.
I was running 3 miles 6 days a week until I got shin splints which has prevented me from doing this at the moment but I am starting run this week.
After the bike I will do 20mins on BOB (Body Opponent Bag) then that's me done for today.

Starting my training
I'm a 29yr old male, I've been training in Mauy Thai, BJJ, Bujutsu and Boxing for about 4 - 5 years and about two years ago I decided that I wanted to test myself in the Cage/Ring, but after a few minor hiccups I started training until January 2010 I got Meningitis (Viral Brain infection) I now have a clear bill of health and I am back in training.
I am currently looking for my first fight in the Middleweight's. I am doing this blog so I can share my day to day trails and the journey I am taking to get to each and every fight. I currently have no team and I train at various gyms in and around Norfolk, UK.
If you have any advice or tips then please share them (No offence messages please)
