The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

Tweaked something in my thigh when I was boarding on Monday and haven't been able to run (or board) all week. Going totally insane.

12km, too long, too hard. That's me done for the week.

He won't be professional. Very, very few strongmen are, not enough money in it- aint like bodybuilding. Mark Felix for example is a plasterer and has a family to look after and is 47. ****all £s in strongman. If Thor was chasing the £s he would probably have been better to stick with his basketball he did most of his life.

Eddie Hall for example is a truck mechanic & used to swim with Rebecca Adlington before changing sport:

What running jacket have you guys gone for?

Mine is a florescent cycling jacket and it's not the best. Need something bit warmer with pockets to carry my phone and house keys.

Any tips?

This one




I'm at 28km now.

arghhhh. I can't even cycle my bike properly after this weeks exertions. Tuesday was legs day and I smashed it. Today I can barely lift my legs, walk, ride a bike or climb stairs

Today is final day then I'm taking it easy for a few days to recover properly. Shoulders and upper chest then it's home for a valentines fillet steak dinner

I must say that the Viperboost tablets do give me more of an edge when training. Not really noticed that much off the Thermobol tablets yet but I havent' weighed myself in a few days so too early to tell if I've lost any more body fat.



never a truer word spoken

Just because Pabs has a cough doesn't mean people can just forget to run! Man up men!

[Roboklopp]

Nice meme.

Just done a bit of deloading the last couple of days cos of my ear/hearing/balance being ****ed. 3 sets of 12 reps of 60% of my 5 rep max. Gives the joints a break & the muscles stimulation but doesnt break them down as much as a proper heavy sesh.

Having to stick to 7 and a half milers till I can ease out of whatever I've done to my thigh. Hopefully sports massage on Monday will chase the pain away! 7:38/ mile pace.

10K race in Ilmington, Warwickshire this morning with some brutal hills. Last race of a 5 race series - managed to knock 1.5 mins off my previous times. Not my PB for a 10K - too hilly.

Lovely day for it as well - no wind and blue skies.

[Pablo]

Good work guys. I've had a bad chest infection and a viral infection all week. Been to hospital and everything. I'm hopeful I'll get back running by midweek though. It'll be hard to catch RoadEnd and Rich now though.

[badpiggy]

Been way too ****in lazy this week but have the coming week off work so no excuse for not getting in 3-4 runs.

[Rich]

Back out tonight.
