The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Chilts33]

I started at a new gym a couple of weeks ago. Doing tyre lifts, running tyre drags, tyre pulls, farmer's walks, weighted lunge walks, keg lifts etc...
I've been used to the DW for the past couple of years, thinking i was training at quite a decent level. This new workout has completely detroyed that, and me! 2 days on, 1 day off and i ache/hurt constantly on my day off.
I absolutely love it though, have quickly become addicted to the training and the effect it has on my physique!

That's 700km done for the year now

Also just completed 6.9km (a route I regularly do) in under 35 minutes for the first time ever

Cool. Sounds very Strongman-derived crossfit.

Mate it's brutal, however I don't want to bulk up so I keep the exercises quite pacey with shorter breaks to use the hiit principles.

Nothing quite says weird than liking the pain you have when you get the DOMS from a good workout

Cheers Subby! ☺

You can reduce your DOMS by having a cold shower or eating pineapples within 30 mins

I just take BCCAs during the workout which helps doms loads. Helps get rid of lactic acid.

I think that's me done for Xmas, and possibly the year. 711km ran this year. My target was 800km so overall a good effort (given quite a bit of illness this year!).

Hoping to crack 800km next year. I should start the year really strongly as I'm feeling pretty fit now and have a half marathon to train for in March

Hi kind people of the running community,

Any tips for long distance running? I'm out of breath after 2km, I couldn't imagine doing 4-5km.

Thanks
