I went 9 days without drinking but ended up caving in last night on the 10th day and having 9 beers. It's not good but I'm lasting longer without drinking.

That's a good effort mate. Keep it up, I'm following your 'sobriety' gains. Every time you want a drink, go and do some eccentric calf raises! Haha.

Have you tried non-alcoholic beer? I'm not saying it's good, but some of it is actually surprisingly drinkable.

On a serious note, there's no difference in taste, it should be a great alternative to fool a few cravings.

Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Thanks acole. My calves have felt wrecked this week from the extra volume of calf exercises.

I'm with vag on the non-alcoholic beer. I have never actually tried non-alcoholic beer but I primarily drink to get wasted. My favourite beers are HB Hofbrau, Hahn Super Dry, Furphy and Corona. I used to drink a lot of Guiness a few years ago but haven't drank it for a while. If i'm at a bar I'll just drink whatever is on special. I've been avoiding bars lately though.

Without getting too deep this may be the thing you need to address.

I've tried a few of the non alcoholic beers and while they taste ok I don't actually think its a good solution. For someone who likes the effects that come with alcohol I think it just drives that need further.

I haven't trained for the last couple of days. I went to a wedding today and it would have been easy to slip up with the offer of free beers available but I just drank coke and ate a lot of food instead.

Bodyweight- Unknown. I was scared to step on the scales this morning because I've been on a see food diet this weekend eating everything. I'll go on the scales tomorrow and see.
Soreness- Achilles. My Achilles felt sore when laying in bed and waking up. It felt sore whenever I sat down and stood up today. I went to the physio on Friday and they believe it is recovering and want me to continue with the same exercises. I did tell the physio I was experiencing pain but the physio attributed that to an increase in the amount I was walking rather than the exercises. I'll continue on as planned and see how it goes.

Gym-

Squat
60x6
80x3
100x3
117.5x3
105x5 for 2 sets
80x11

Standing on toes for 30 seconds with 45kg barbell on my back.
Did this for 10 sets.

Hammer Strength Rows
40x12
60x12
80x12
92.5x12

Chin Ups
10, 8

Pull Ups
7, 7

Calf exercises for my Achilles.

holding for 30 seconds on left and right foot. 5 sets each leg.

I'm surprised that I failed 120 today on the bench but everything just felt heavy today right from the warm ups. My triceps are the weak link in the chain atm. I'm going to add some more tricep work in by starting to do dips but I didn't do any dips today.
