Anyway enough of me waffling on heres the link from the man who’s method it is. https://philmaffetone.com/want-speed-slow-down/ This is my issue; I need to put weight on if anything and already have a decent aerobic base so need to decide if it’s for me. I’m running 3 or 4 times a week at the minute and have already done 2 marathons in the past; if I’m going to do another marathon I want sub 3 hours. Just need to find the right training plan.

ErnestTurnip Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 You might have seen them anyway if you've already done a couple but there's a Hal Higdon plan for people going for a PB and there's other ones there as well - www.halhigdon.com.

Leyther_Matt Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 All-time dream weight achieved (12 and a half stone). I’d got to 12 stone 13 last year and always thought that would be as good as I’d ever get, so I’m proper chuffed with that. Not touched any booze since May 31st (not that I’m counting) but the calorie counting has meant I’ve not really felt like I’ve missed out on anything as long as I have a lighter dinner etc. Lost 31.5% of my bodyweight compared to this time 6 years ago, going from (a tight) XXL down to medium for most places. Do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably helps that it hasn’t been cracking the flags like it was during May which is generally when I fancy a drink. Definitely helped that Mrs has been working from home while I’ve been furloughed so we’ve been going for a walk for 60-90 minutes when she finishes work just to break her day up more than anything.

Been an ongoing effort on that front over the last few years to be honest, occasionally deliberately buying stuff in smaller sizes so that I had a goal to work towards etc. Dread to think how much stuff I’ve got rid of, and in particular had quite a sizeable collection of football and rugby tops that pretty much all ended up in clothes banks. Just my luck that the retro shirt business has exploded since then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deane koontz Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 First run since January, I don't think i picked the right day. Still sweating like a twat but i didn't injure myself like i usually do, which is a plus point. Cycling is so much easier ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to d striding the 2nd time but the wind was pretty harsh, so stuck to Swirrel. Great peak though Helvellyn, just don’t roll down the scree into red tarn. Last time, there was a group of scouts selling bacon barms on the top. Cycled up for charity. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Last time we went up Helvellyn we took in St Sunday, Fairfield, Dollwagon etc and came down from Helvellyn without doing any of the edges, was a long day but it's belting up there. Was going to come down via Striding but started it and there was still snow and ice and arsehole started twitching so went back up and took the more gentle option.

ex_midlandwhite Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Did Skiddaw a couple of weeks ago starting from Bassenthwaite, great ridge walk starting from Ullock Pike and taking in 4 other Wainwrights on the way. Weather wasn't the best but views ok. Was on the Langdale Pikes last week in 60mph winds and it wasn't dissimilar in Ullswater this week, even at only 500m!!
