Trained on Friday evening.
Mostly technique and a lot less fitness.
That was fine for me, but it’s not helping me to stop being a blob!
Stopping eating the food you love is just so hard.
I did discover that amongst us oldies at the session, my resting heartbeat recovery time is the best, not that, that means jack shit . ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Now , just Karate and self defence.
No I’m not training to be a ninja , I just need something to try? To stop me seizing up and try? to retain some agility.
It’s not working as well as I’d have hoped for, I’m still a clumsy heavy old lump |
Bet you'd be worse if you didn't do it though
I'm still plugging along, and sometimes think I don't seem to be getting anywhere, but then I think back to how I was just four short months ago when I started again in earnest with this fitness lark, and I have definitely come a long way. I have a couple of problems that no amount of fitness training will fix, but I just remind myself of what I couldn't do that short time ago that I can now. And aside from the general fitness benefit, I feel a bit more alert...awake, so to speak, lately. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I've entered a half marathon, it's the first week of December. I have hardly run for the last few weeks. Today, I had to decide if I was doing this, I am. So, three mile run for me. Walk-run-walk for wife, but I didn't stop, I kept looping back for her. We got home and I'd run 2.99 miles, so ran down the street and back.
Will try and run Thu night. Saturday, a friend with health issues is doing park run for the first time, I've promised to stick with him every week. So..... will try and get a 3mile run in before I collect him, then walk park run with him, then run the park run course afterwards and run home, should be about 8 miles....
Deliveroo... well, my stats on Strava are not that great, but... I'm on a heavy hybrid with a great big bag on my back causing all kinds of wind resistance, and so the effort through my legs is probably not too shabby. Only do it for a few hours each week, cause claim a carers allowance to look after someone, but am considering just hammering the hours and not claiming. |

core exercises last night
quiet deliveroo shift this lunchtime, only cycled about 6 miles
then ran 9 miles tonight, to and from a run club meet, where we did hill climbing loops, youngster athletic club also out, sprinting up the hill dragging trollies behind them on straps
I am either hardcore, or just an idiot, I have bad tootache. I ran, it doesn't hurt when I run, but when I stopped, when I came in from the cold, I lay on the floor and screamed into a cushion. |

I had excruciating toothache a few years ago, it woke me up and I shovelled down painkillers but nothing would take the edge off until I got up and walked around. Moving around does help with tooth pain, no idea why though. Go to your dentist! I ended up having root canal surgery and then a crown as I broke the tooth in between treatments and it was bloody expensive.
Another Parkrun today (#5) and I am definitely noticing some more changes. A little less flab around my knees, my calves feel much more toned and the thing I feel most happy about is that my upper arms are definitely gaining some tone back. My stamina is sorta staying the same but I jogged the first 1km this mrning rather than alternating between running and walking so I finished a few minutes faster. I went to a different place with double the number of runners so go stuck a few times with lots of people funneling over narrow bridges. So I could probably have done it slightly faster if I didn’t have to wait for that.
I have started Race at your Pace for November! 3miles down, 22 to go.
Also bone conducting headphones are pretty neat ____________________ Theory test - 19/8/09, CBT - 11/10/09, MOD 1 - 16/8/10, MOD 2 - 27/10/10

I had an emergency appt. it's helped a bit, but I think I have 2 or 3 different problems with all my back teeth on one side, including an impacted wisdom tooth that keeps getting infected, think I'm probably going to have to go back and have it out, this is the 3rd time I've had antibiotics for it this year
anyway, today I ran 9 miles, then my deliveroo earnings saw me pedal 18 miles
got another longish run tomorrow morning and another longish deliveroo shift |

the rules are, sign on at the pub get a number, chug a pint, get stamped, run 2 miles cross country to another pub, chug a pint, get stamped, run 2miles cross country to the starting point, chug another pint, as soon as the glass is empty you get your time
ran there and back too, about 9 miles,then this afternoons deliveroo was 19 miles. |

No painful quads or back today, happy days!
Back to a long shift tomorrow and training after work on Tuesday.
I’m like Chickenstrip in that I’m plugging away at my fitness and mobility.

100. Chin ups. I once managed 10, and I was jerking my knees about to do it. |
Nope I do 3 sets, as many as I can do (to failure) then a few less, then ten. So at the moment it's something like 15, 12, 10 something like that. the same format goes with the other excercises. I also do hip raises, mountain climbers, plank jacks, and a couple of other things. I've been doing it for so long I think it's time to change it up though.

Parkrun #6, got a new PB and ran longer sections with short walks in between. I think I have 12 miles done for November Race at your Pace.

Up to 30mins jogging on the spot with 1 or 2min 'push' at the end, two consecutive days. Which means it's time to get out jogging properly, as that's what I said I'd do.
I'm aware that jogging on the spot might not be exercising the exact same muscle sets as actual running, but it has definitely built the leg muscles notably and strengthened ankle and knee joints, as well as improving cardio vascular capacity and recovery times. So I'll just have to see how I go out in the big bad world ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 140 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
