did 3.1km run at lunch. Sore legs, had to stop. No good as a warmup.. a lunch run usually helps.
18km evening run, 560meter hills climbed Legs were sore the first 10km! overusing shins and stress on tibia. |

I want to get some compression legging things. Im told it helps endurance and recovery, but mostly because my legs are getting shredded by brambles and bitten all over I prefer to run in shorts, fear that if I wear these my legs will melt.
Freeze gel is amazing stuff, helps for the 20 mile ride home wearing leathers after a run. Also great if stung/bitten. |

Good luck with the half marathon training - I'm starting my training now for the Lincoln half marathon in October. Last year I did 1:45.05.
That 5 seconds
Ouch.
Vaseline is next to useles though, in the rain. I tend to pop some KT tape on if it's a long run and it's raining. Prevents any rubbing, and decent KT tape won't come off with sweat/rain. ____________________

Tonight I ran 13.4 miles in just under 2hrs and 2mins
did the half marathon distance in a 2hrs 22 seconds, could've beat 2hrs but part of the last segment was a trail run and the light was fading, bulk of it was with a group.

Whilst my running has been improving, I had let myself go a bit, focus on running and not enough on other exercise and slacking off my healty eating a bit.
Last 11 days been watching what I ear very carefully and hitting the weights again, whilst upping the running.
Should drop 4 or 5 kilos before the half marathon on the 2nd Sept, but will creep up a bit after, but not much. |

I put on 4.5lbs at this week's Slimming World weigh in. It was my best friend's wedding last weekend and that was ultimately what I was slimming for, so I let myself go wild.
But now I have fatty's remorse. So I am trying to lose that 4.5lbs before the next weigh in.
Aside from good eating, I do cycling. Usually about 15 miles. As I failed spectacularly, I thought I'd better double the effort, so I ended up doing 35 miles today. That's definitely my limit for now. I'm absolutely battered.

Has this thread turned into a "who's run what?" Thread?
I've been a bit lax with my fitness training lately.
However over the last few weeks me and a few of the lads have been having a good weekly session at the gym.
That along with trying to be a bit more physical and eat a pie or two less is making a small difference
My mentor has been pushing me and my endurance is getting better.
I hope to go back to Krav Maga in September, so that and my weekly sessions should? Make a proper difference.
I really want to improve my endurance.
We started to include a little bit of Pilates into our sessions to improve our agility and flexibility.
F*ck that is harder than you think when you're a fat old stiff old man ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Not done anyting for two weeks. Persistant ankle injury means running isn't happening at the moment so I've been pedalling instead. Strangely I've dropped back to 74kg this week. If I focussed I don't doubt I could be lighter and stronger. Winter is coming and cross country or CX might be on the cards. ____________________ My Flickr |

I'm good at running, above average - just. With WAVA etc, I can use an age adjusted handicap doo-dah to get a score.
It's cheap, and I don't belong to a gym. I belong to a club which is free an organises itself through social medai, I get motivated by running in a group, and it keeps me healthy, resting heart rate is about 52, and gets me out the house.
I never will be a body builder type, though I do want some muscle growth and have lost focus on that as the approaching half marathon is on Sept 2nd.
According to Men's Health Sept 2017 magazine I am;
Below Average
Bench Press
Squat
Body Weight Squat
Dead Lift
Pull Up
Average
Shoulder Press
Above Average
Plank
10k
100M sprint
Sit Ups
Press Ups
Tried a whole load of new exercises last night including
Swiss-Ball Touch "With both hands resting on top of the ball, arms extended and legs straight out behind you, tense your core and slowly ift one arm to tap your opposite shoulder"
Swiss-Ball Stability Dips
Tiger Press Ups, which is a sort of half plank half press up and really burned! |
