Return to running – Week 11: Tan relays
This week I headed to the Tan relays for the final round of XCR’18, while my running has been building towards the 30 minute mark.
Return to running: Week 10
Run/walk sessions are continuing to progress well, and starting to add more weight into the strength program. Also handled a big day with running and lot’s of walking well.
Return to running: Week 9
Consolidation of jogging from 5 mins last week, to 10 mins, 15 mins, and a 20 min continuous run on the weekend!
Return to running: Week 8
Another good week of training – progression of 3 min to 5 min jogs, introduction of lower body weighted strength exercises, and playing around with flip turns.

Introduction
This project was completed for a Data Science course at General Assembly in August 2018. The aim was to choose a project that could potentially be solved by data. IPython (Jupyter) notebooks were used to import and clean the data, with a lot of data parsing required for this project and perform the modelling and visualisations. This document is not meant to be a formal academic report, rather just an informal presentation of the findings.
Return to running: Week 7
This week I progressed to 2 min and then 3 min jogs, and seem to have improved my swim lap turns.
Return to running: Week 6
Return to running: Week 6
A good training week – didn’t miss anything this week. Walk/jog program progressing well and stepped up my swimming game!
Review: Melbourne CBD gyms
It can be a difficult balance fitting in work, fitness, education and life in general. On Mondays and Wednesdays I currently work from 9am to 5pm and then attend a course from 6pm to 9pm. Making it rather difficult to fit in my strength exercises which are very important for me at the moment to get my leg strength back up for running.
I had been attending Melbourne City Baths on a casual basis which is $22.60 per session. Not too bad for a session once very so often, but if I need to get a session in once or twice per week it starts getting a little pricey. So I decided to research and try out pretty much every gym close to work, in the northern corner of Melbourne CBD.
Return to running: Week 5
This week I officially say farewell to the sports doctor and continue progressing the run/walk sessions.
Return to running: Week 4
Highlight of the week – progressing from 30 second runs to 1 minute runs with no issues. Oh and lot’s of data science stuff.
