The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Turkalicious]

Good work lads, about to head out in a minute. I've been ill for the last week or so

Turk did wiv drop you for the last km or so?

Ha! no, we were out separately last night, had to stop meeting with him as it was slowing my pace down

Heading out for another quick 5k tonight hopefully

My third year of rejection was the year the scrapped the three times rule. Was gutted! Might get in through my club ballot but it's a long shot. Viennais supposed to be ace too. Amsterdam also

my sister's mate used to be on the committee so used to be able to get entries for me - I got one for a mate that then broke his ankle so couldn't do it, also a replacement medal for a numpty that did it dressed as Fred Flintstone and then left his medal on the tube... I don't think she's on it anymore I think she's something to do with triathlons now, but I'll ask - could try and get one a year maybe...

wow - she's working for the NHS now and has an OBE... I'll have a word with my sis tho - it's a shame if you guys are all getting knocked back every year.

Did 11.3km last night Think that's my longest run before or since Tough Mudder, so well pleased with that. Had to run home and stop for a poo in the middle of it though so the whole thing took absolutely ages

[Turkalicious]

That is a good effort mate.

I have got a basketball match tonight. If I use a pedometer, can I add that to my running total for the month?

[Fivex]

Treadmill runs allowed on the list?

If so put me down for a oner.

[Roboklopp]

Back up to 3x190K on deadlift today. Tried 3x195 but only got the 3rd rep up to knee height. Doesn't feel too far off tho- reckon 3x192.5 would've been ok. Won't push the 1 rep max for a while though.

[Fierce]

Squats I did on the Smith machine, deadlifts I haven't ever tried, and the second to last time I tried bench presses I couldn't finish the 3rd set of reps to the point whereby I couldn't actually put the barbell back up

I know that I shouldn't give a **** what other people are lifting or whether they are looking, but that is pretty embarrassing

You presumably plan your workout in advance rather than deciding on the fly what to do, do you go off memory or write it doen/use the your phone?

[Roboklopp]

Go on memory generally, but I record things down post-training to keep track. Can monitor your progress better that way. Helps be more focused & scientific.

Don't worry about not being able to re-rack on bench. Aye it's embarrassing but we've all done it.
