My plan is to join this nearby gym, purely for the sauna Then work out as follows: Monday: run Tuesday: some sort of weights Wednesday: sauna Thursday: run Friday: some sort of weights Weekends: rest & drink Might see if the gym has a PT to devise a weights program and put me through an intense session every 2 or 4 weeks or somert Would rather do weights at home than in gym, those bands seemed a good idea, I don't want actual weights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Park run done This morning just inside 30 mins but it was hard and I died on the grass afterwards. but that was my target before the end of the month and I did it so pleased with myself. hard 5 weeks now before holidays so plenty of effort and discipline required!!

Maybe throw in a country walk at weekend for extra calorie burn. Just done relatively flat 10-11km walk. My rest day. But hungover. Huge calorie deficit came back to bite me. Only had 3 pints of Shindigger Pale Ale and a small glass of red last night. Felt like shite most of today. No way should I be this rough off so little. I’ve built up quite a collection of gym stuff at home. Weights, kettlebells, resistance bands, med ball, punchbag, weight bench, spin bike, sand bag, weight jacket, sliding discs, parallettes, 6-in-1 ab trainer. Some shite. Some ok. Aldi and other supermarket are usually desperate to get rid of stuff around mid Feb when the demand has flatlined. Pick things up at good prices then.

You'll have more control over it if you heat the milk in a pan and add to the oats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try adding less milk, your ratio sounds a bit o.t.t milk wise, Try half a cup of porridge and half a cup of milk, Nuke it for 2 mins and off you pop.. If it comes out of the nuker looking like concrete, just add a splash of milk and stir it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal white Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Bollocks to training programmes, meal preps and special scales. I’ve just watched Rocky 4, if that’s not enough to make you want to train then there’s no hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royal white Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I was at Leverhulme park this morning watching my lads game, I witnessed quite a few well known Wanderers faces finishing the park run, surely we will be in the top division of fittest fans.

Haigh Hall reckon they aren’t short but I did it a few weeks ago and my Garmin clocked it as 2.9 miles. Might be the trees messing with the GPS I suppose.

My garmin clocks Cuerden a touch short, only 100m mind Found it odd, assumed it’s either me taking a racing line through the bends or a bit of GPS signal loss in the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Be careful out there folks, currently sat in minor injuries clinic after being attacked by a dog; just running past a couple, next thing I know I’m knocked on the floor and the dog is biting the side of my stomach! utterly insane! The dog was way too powerful for the owner, wasn’t even very close to them. Should of had a muzzle, I mean knocked a 13 stone 6ft 2 bloke over, dread to think of what it’d do to a child. Was stupid though, didn’t take any details, was just a bit in shock. At least they got me an Uber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted January 26, 2020 Members Share Posted January 26, 2020 Bloody hell @Not in Crawley hope you’re alright mate. Get them reported, Pit Bull Terrier went for my little girl up Rivvy, luckily I picked her up and got my foot to the dog. Saw which car they got in and had them reported.

Members Rudy Posted January 26, 2020 Members Share Posted January 26, 2020 13.1 miles yesterday in 1:24. Started too slowly and couldn’t make it up. Felt great after it, just done 3 minutes in a cryochamber. -100 degrees, lovely stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a slightly herniated L5-S1 disc that every now again absolutely floors me when it goes Physio recommended swimming breaststroke to try and strengthen the joint so joined the local Village Gym and been religiously doing 2-3km a week for the past year which seems to have helped as have had no issues since. Feel like I should be also utilising the gym that I'm paying for but a bit nervous about doing any sort of weights in case the back goes again. Anything you think that I should do to help based on the physio saying that I need to strengthen the muscles around that area? Similarly, anything that I should avoid?
