The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Norbs]

7 minute miles

Right, here's one for you guys fitter and more clued up than myself. Maximum heart rate for my age is meant to be 174 but when I jog my heart reached 160 very quickly and hovers between 160 and 165. This is supposed to be far too fast for an aerobic workout but I'm able to breath and don't suffer cramps so it feels aerobic not anaerobic. I've looked through some fitness chat rooms and the suggestion is to try interval running with a couple of minutes interspersed with walking but don't really want to drop to this level when I feel fine running at my maximum ability. I would though if there's no benefit to me pushing my heart so much, any thoughts? Mt resting heart is 45-50 so it's quite an increase up to 160

I know. I shouldn't complain but...

Went and found a 5k race tonight to see exactly what the damage has been. Last time I ran the course I did it in 19:30. Tonight was 21:36. So my generally being ****ed has put 2 minutes on my 5k race pace.

Flopped spectacularly during June and July (and most of August) but did 9.5k on Sunday and 9.5k today, trying to get back into it.

I usually demoralise myself when running by thinking that every lap of the aerodrome I do, Mo Farah does two

But Mo has Salazar's magic milkshakes to help him. What have you got?

Fart power and Powerade

Just had a lovely run in the woods now that I've recovered my Asics Lahars from my son. Jumped through all the puddles, my legs are covered in mud and yet my socks are dry #
