Smiley Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Played 5-a-side on Wednesday for first time in 7 months. My body is aching everywhere! Did a 30-min boxing workout this morning at the gym with a PT (its free). Had 2 of us alternating with him between combinations and using the spin (watt) bike. I was fucked and seeing stars at the end of the session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Did the Sefton Park 10k with Bi E this morning. Thankfully managed to avoid a defeat in a closely fought sprint finish. Fair play to the big fella, he made it round without stopping. 51:04 for me. A tad disappointing as I know could've paced myself a bit quicker as I had plenty left in the tank. Anyone fancying a 10k run though I'd thoroughly recommend this one. It's a real buzz, Edited May 8, 2017 by DazBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Chuffed I did under 24 mins for my second parkrun on sat then bang on 55 for a 10k on Sunday. Got two propper 10ks coming up before the half in Greenwich and Crystal Palace, so hoping that'll come down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Bought a shite load of holiday clothes over the winter with the aim of them fitting by the time I go in a few weeks. Looked a lost cause a few months ago but managed to fit in the whole lot now. No better feeling, though I suppose the football season has a lot to answer for! (Slightly annoying that it's all been in aid of getting back to the same weight as I was pre-holiday in July last year, but still got to be happy with losing 2 stone since New Year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a long way to go but enjoying it Keep going pal. Be worth it in the end. I'm back running a bit now. And 5-a-side. Not been able to do bootcamp or any serious weights for 6 months or more. Left elbow still fucked. Pissing me off. Was the year I was hoping to finally have a stab at this golfing malarkey.

Mike Hunt Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Awful 18 months of injuries but back running and almost a stone off. Struggling a bit to get back to times and distance of before but it will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Had a disasterous last 6 weeks. Wife's work, mind troubles and drinking fri-sun has kippered my gym going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 1st run in 2 years before. Mile and a half 14 1/2 mins. Question for the runners on here. How often and by how much should I look to increase distance? Aim is to get back upto 7/8 miles which I used to be able to run although never actually trained before for running was other sports that gave the fitness Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Rule of thumb is to increase distance by one mile, consolidate for a week then increase another mile. This gives your bones and ligaments time to strengthen, this is a slower process than "getting fitter". I assume that given your Bolty type politics that you are a more mature gentleman so focus on getting the distance done and not the time, this will come down as your fitness improves.

Bolty type politics :-) No I'm not of the same sort of age so am of an age where I can hopefully focus on times in due course. I would like to do a half marathon this year if possible for charity as it will give me focus to train. Thanks for the advice. I shall try the 2.5 mile in a fortnight and take it from there Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) That's brilliant for somebody in his early 50's mate haha!!! Touché! Managed a couple of 5.75km runs recently, 8.4km around Sale & Chorlton Water Parks on Saturday and another 5.75km run just now in the rain. Getting better and faster. Hoping to do 10km around the water parks this coming Saturday. As for 5-a-side, I'm the oldest player by about 10 years. Fitness is getting back up there, but my finishing is dreadful!!

Moderators Zico Posted June 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2017 after 6 months, I'm still exactly 14st though I was about 14 5/6 after holiday in May, so did that "Huel" powdered drink shite for a couple of weeks for breakfast and lunch guess it worked, but fuck me it's dull, and had fuck all energy to do exercise in the evenings another reminder to just eat better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
