I'm 34 so next year can run in the veteran catagory in cross country

When did you get into running then Rowan?

[Rowan]

I was pretty ill about 6 years ago and started just after that. Started doing run walk run on a treadmill then ran with lads at work on lunchtimes. Entered a half marathon for charity and have been going ever since. It's only the last year that my times have started getting where they are now though.

I started in 2009. After my achilles problems running was the only exercise I could really do. Anything with twisting, turning, acceleration and deceleration rips my achillles off the bone . I do love it though and like you find it therapeutic. I've long told my wife that running is my therapy. Any stresses or worries I have are washed away after a good run.

8 is the max I do in any primary set. Usually 5s, sometimes 3s. Often finish with AMRAP though (hence the 15 reps on squats).

I ran for the train today. Was a little stiff after my 150K squats the other day.

How many paving stones did you smash Hulk?

Can barely move today, really hit the chest and back last night.

I feel like I've run into a brick wall with the pec strain today but no pain no gain

Good work Norbs Any more for any more? The window SLAMS SHUT in less than 8 hours.

[Norbs]

Cheers. This has been good fun but painful. I might switch to rowing for February. Targetting 40k which is 20hrs in addition to some light running.

My running speeds are getting slower but it was knee deep mud and rain today
