I know those two are, well I don't know for certain as I've not met either of them. But I'm sure Marina said she was actually a male.

Do you know what, come to think of it I think she said she wasn't the girl in her avatar.

Yes that's what it was, I was getting confused.

Guys, I'm on my third week back at the gym.

I do Chest/Biceps Monday, Shoulders Tuesday, Abs Wednesday, Legs Thursday & Back/Triceps Friday. Sat & Sun off.

After each weight session I go on the treadmill & do this:

30secs at 9.0km/h followed by 30secs at 16.0km/h. I do that for 15mins. Three mins cool down standard.

For the weights I do mostly 12, 10, 8, 6 reps, going up in weight each time if I can. For some I do 15, 12, 10 reps.

My standard diet:

Breakfast 4 rice crackers with peanut butter.
Mid chicken breast
Lunch 2 brown pittas with tuna & Salad
Mid pack of chicken

Work out

Protein shake
Dinner Chicken breast/Salmon with Veg.


Without going into details of workout and exact amounts of food etc, what would you guys think I would get out of this? Just curious is all. Mostly interested in effects of my Cardio type HIIT training after doing the weights. I know long term difficult to say as depends on what else I do during the week at work and what happens on the weekend etc.

I got my 10K race PB by following a beautiful arse. I was tempted to thank her at the end of the race but decided it wasn't the best approach.

Did you manage to overtake? Might have been a bloke with long hair.

It starts again tonight for me. Its the clearest and best I have felt for near on 4 weeks now FFS!

New month, new resolve. Starting taking vitamin tablets to hopefully reduce the risk of getting ill again. 3 times this year I have been ill.

Nice 10km Rich!

Another 6.6km this morning. Starting to feel a bit of muscle fatigue again, it seems to build up every couple of weeks. Time for a couple of days rest I think.

[Rich]

Cheers! Lovely little exploratory route too - ended up on a nicely tarmacked single road through a wood between Chorlton and Wythenshawe.

Nice, how long did it take you?

I set off with the intention of doing 10km this morning. Got my first 5km done in 25 minutes then after 6km my legs just went heavy so I cut it short. Embarrassing. I think I need a few days rest. The accumulated fatigue has got me again

Does anyone else get annoyingly achy legs from running while trying to sleep in bed? I do sometimes and it drives me round the bend!

[Rich]

No idea

I've just treated myself to a Garmin FR10 so I can keep a better record of times and distances. Taking my phone with me was pissing me off too much - plus last time I took it out the GPS ballsed up.

Cost me about £75 from Amazon, should get it next week.
