^^ Nice. No pain - No gain and all that!

Did one of them boot camp training sessions today at the local park. 25 people. Was actually really good. Tough, but good.

Hit 201 HR on a 2k run the other day at 10km/h. My resting is low 50's. Guess I'm not born to run.

Been very intermittent with gym recently due to lack of time. Still usually manage to cycle to work on Saturdays and Sundays, which although is only 15minutes each way is probably the main reason my resting heart rate is as low as it is.

I'm quite impressed I've retained as much strength as what I have. Was able to work my way upto 160kg deadlift, no chalk, although reverse grip and didn't feel sore the next day.

Did a 21 miler in 3 hours last weekend. Apparently included 4000ft of ascent / descent in that too. Chuffed with that.

Currently doing high altitude, high temperature, high amounts of San Miguel training in Spain. 10km, 1000ft climb, 30oC, 50 minutes.

Doing 1 full and 2 half marathons second week of October. Can't wait.

Well, after being given the nod to get back to running by the lung doctor types, I got back on that treadmill for the first time in ages today, and it felt good.

Ive just joined a local running group, had my second training session this evening and I feel pretty good. We have been doing interval training so far with the aim to go out and do 5k road runs twice a week and then I want to go out myself and start doing Park Runs. A friend at work does ultra marathons and seems to think I will join him soon

I think I need some better trainers though as I have rubbed some of the skin off my big toes.

you might need better trainers, or it might be your skin will sort itself out after a couple of runs, and just slightly hardne

I'm doing my first ever Park Run on Saturday.

[Dalemac]

Went on holiday, put on a few pounds, taking me up to 13 stone 1lb.

Since returning, been eating to a strict 2250 calories a day (maximum), and now I'm down to 12 stone 9lb. My next major target is 12 stone.

I've actually gone down a loop on the belt, which is better than before I went on holiday.

I've not been able to do much cardio this week (which is usually how I lose weight) due to a pulled calf, but hoping to be back to full swing by next week - where I'll be burning between 600 and 1000 calories a day purely in cardio.

Hopefully be down to about 12 stone 4lb by the 2nd of October, when my next half marathon is.

^^^ I hear that, my 35kg battering ram took my legs out completely while playing chase me with another dog a
few weeks ago. It was like being hit by a sack of spuds fired out of a cannon. I barely slowed her down.

Me finishing Tough Mudder Northwest last weekend

Knocked myself out running through Electroshock Therapy and landed face first in the mud!

It was a good craic though, and managed to raise £370 for British Heart Foundation.

Did my first ever Park Run on Saturday.

24m15s could easily have been 30s quicker just by getting nearer the front, it was packed but I like it, as I run with a club on Tues eves and have done for about 6 months, I saw lots of familiar faces

So. Plan is run Tues and most Thus eve with club, and park run every Sat. That's most of the cardio covered.

Press ups, squats, dips, crunches, pull ups 2 or 3 times a week. Weights twice a week.

Stricter diet control.

Keep all this up till mid Dec, and see how I'm shaping up.

I've lost 10lbs in 2 weeks. I tried paleo/caveman but I found myself binging on entire packets of belly pork.

So, as rather a last-ditch attempt, I've been fasting for 1 or 2 days, then eating less than 1000kcal on my "eating" days. I'd recommend it to anyone who is really impatient.

I aim to lose another 7lbs, knowing that when I start eating again I will probably put some on until my metabolism levels out.

I've found having my feet looked at, getting proper orthotic insoles made and getting a proper training plan miles more effective than gait analysis.

My guy recommended me some trainers that were cheap as chips but with a proper insole I've had over 500 miles trouble free. All I did was stand in front of him and he measured my foot placement and told me all the issues I was having from my shins to my knee and hip and why I was having the problems.

I'll do it every 500 to 1000 miles now and I've gone from doing 4:30 marathon to hopefully 3:45 in a year.
