The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Saveloy]

Just re-totalled my recorded running since I starting tracking it in 2009.

Nike+ = 1504km
Endomondo = 533km
Total = 2037km


The equivalent of running from Anfield to Florence

Damn impressive. Unfortunately I read an article today, in the independent I think, about an ultra marathon runner who reckoned he had 50k on the clock. Blew my tiny mind. Keep runnin' Pablo, there's more to do.

My Feb has been disappointing. Think I should aim to keep up with Alex for March, as he's next in the table but way ahead

(with not much to back it up) Oi Alex. That glove down there is my gauntlet. Consider it thrown. (for March only. Terms and conditions apply) .

Taking my mate (the trainer) to do my biceps and triceps workout tonight. Haha he's going to be wrecked after it. It kills me and is a brutal shift in the gym but the gains from it are noticeable even when it's only done twice a week, with a 3 day rest break between.

57 dumbell curls
57 tricep extensions
then
57 ez barbell curls
57 skull crushers

based on 4 sets of - 20, 15, 12, then 10 (57 in total)

So you'd do 20 dumbell curls...30 seconds break....then 20 tricep extensions...30 second break....then back to 15 dumbell curls...etc.. until finished the 2 exercises.

Have a water break for a minute then start the other 2 exercises. In the last 10 reps I throw on another 5-10kg for maximum effect. Absolutely murders your arms for a few days after so I can only do it twice a week at most. Gained 2 inches on the bicep so far by doing this. Creatine, HMB and protein stacked really maximise the gains

Will report back to say if he managed to do it or not

Over 650km combined this month lads. Pretty impressive that

I want that second spot back in March! I'm gunning for you Rich!

Why aim so low, it is Rowan you should be targeting?

[Pablo]

Yes I should be targetting him, with a shovel to his knee!

I'm away boarding from 9th to the 18th so it's all up for grabs!

I have a recurring blister issue on my left foot. Stopped running for 2 weeks and let the skin harden. But then another formed in the exact same spot when I started again. Wore two pairs of socks on that foot this morning on my run and could feel it blossoming after a mile or so - despite the fact I'd swtiched shoes. At this stage, I think I will just continue to run on it and force it to adjust - thoughts?

[ronanm]

Same here, but I had to force myself to get out and do it.

Get motivated Slinks, I found the more I run, the more I want to run next time. If that makes sense?

I go at 6 in the morning. Before you've had time to wake up properly and convince yourself otherwise, you're out running Couldn't do it after work..

[Alex]

I was doing it before work, but the lack of shower was the issue.

I now get in, get changed, sort the dog and get out. Im out the door again within 5 minutes. Bish bash bosh

[Pablo]

Desperately trying to squeeze in a lunch time run at work today, but we're so busy. It's stunning outside as well, absolute perfect weather for it
