The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Rowan]

My first ever set of Intervals on Friday did me in completly, all night I was a wreck.

They obviously work, but my body was not used to the intense pace. But I found them weirdly enjoyable though.

Try playing lampposts instead mate. It's more fun and shorter bursts work just as well.

14.2 is the level top athletes are at. Prem footballers are aound 13-16% so that's pretty dam good going there squire.

Feeling like a fat **** now, but no way could I lift without loadsa carbs.

[Sarb]

Have some massive lower back pain today. Can barely walk or stand. Think it might have been shrugs yesterday

[Roboklopp]

Shrugs shouldn't be doing your lower back in mate. What else you do?

Was just a shoulders routine yesterday. Was doing some heavy lifting. Getting the bar up for shrugs may have done it. Was doing 200kg. Or could have been front raises

[Roboklopp]

Ahh furry muff.

Not a bad month in the end then Rich!

I've struggled with my calves this week , so I've had to have a few days rest. I think the interval training and the insane hills of North Wales have taken their toll. Off out for a run a lunch time though. I should still make my 100km target this month easy enough.

[Alex]

I'm out tonight and then again twice more before Sunday. Won't make the 70 I wanted, but I'll be over what I did the month previous. Getting ill again has foiled me.

[Rich]

I've woken up with my right ankle killing me

I've stuck a brace on it but I've still got a pretty severe limp - no idea how its happened, didn't feel it during or after the run.

[Alex]

I don't want to say I am pleased. But I am. I'll take anything to best you this month
