The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

Nice one. He's a behemoth that dude. I bet none of you did any cardio though!

[Roboklopp]

Depends if you call waddling with 70K in either hand cardio! Was pretty light but I got the technique wrong for speed apparently, but was too hungover to take any advice on board. (He used 130 per hand which I very much doubt I'd have got off the floor even pre-injury & warmed up!)

[Pablo]

It's not really cardio no IMO, although I'm sure it gets you breathless, but it is pretty mental! I used to love World's Strongest Man, proper festive TV!

Is that your dream then, to end up like him? It's not the body type I'd be aiming for like, but each to their own

[Roboklopp]

Ha, I'm nearly a foot shorter than him & about 10 stone lighter! 14st is probably heavy enough at my height, but I'd more than happily swap some fat for more muscle.

I'm in a different league than those guys, just wanna get as strong as I can whilst keeping mobile & fit- back injury permitting of course.


Course if a genie said I could be that big & strong I'd take him up on it!!

[Pablo]

Did you ask if you could feel his muscles? Did you ask him to do squats for you?

Great photo Ploddy!

I just ran 5k in a pb of 27:51, just around the block. Conditions weren't great as in I had a few beers last night and porridge this morning

I might have to start to take it more seriously and see if I can get down to 27 mins before my holiday

Pobs keeps telling me off on Endomondo.

I tried to annoy him by using the 'Pep Talk' feature last night. But I dont think I did it in time. Hurling abuse at someone while they are busting a gut makes me chuckle.

I didn't work Is it supposed to send me an audio clip while I'm actually running? If so that's potentially very open to abuse

I'm going to keep on annoying you until you do that 5km Alex. And as most on Est have seen, I can be pretty annoying.

15km anyway!

Aiming for 20km some time within the next week. Thing my legs have just about got it in them. I think. Maybe.

Nice work. You've only got to shave 10 seconds of each km to dip under 27 minutes. You can definitely manage that under the right conditions I'm sure.

[Alex]

Yeah, I think thats the idea of it. To give 'encouragement'

Let me know when you try for this 20k.....ill encourage the **** out of you.

[Pablo]

Just to clarify, me and Alex are not sexting. Honest

[Alex]

We are

[Pablo]

Ok, ok, we are. Big boy.

Basic maths still gives a time of 27 minutes and 1 second

Oh you idiot! You just had to be smartarse didn't you? I was going to leave that as a nasty surprise for him when he crossed the finish line in celebration
