An 18 miler locally around Carrington, Warburton, etc. 10 miler around Flixton/Stretford. And then a 9.5 mile run up & down Snowdon yesterday. Interspersed with a number of 5 milers. Feeling pretty chuffed. And then see a mate has ran a 30 miler through the night in the lakes with ascents the equivalent of 4 Snowdon’s. Deflated!!! You certainly seem to be on the obsessed side of it to me !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it last week with the Mrs (thrown in plenty of hikes in-between runs). Parked up on the lay-by opposite the garden centre. The climb up felt tougher than it should've been. Coming back down through the woods we found an old lady who had slipped and fell, gashed her head open at Jenkin Crag. Did our bit, helped clean her up, got her on her feet, and back onto safer ground. Didn't slip a finger in or ask HBAYT either. Saying that, my Mrs wouldn't have been impressed if I had!

Stayed local yesterday, ran along the Mersey, then Stretford to Lymm along the Bridewater Canal, around Lymm Dam, back down the Transpennine trail, along the Bollin Valley Way and back through Carrington Moss. Clocked 30.8 miles on Strava (32 miles on Fitbit). Quite chuffed, hadn't run a marathon before, so made it an Ultra for good measure. Got chafing on my back that's reminiscent of an early 80s holiday in the South of France before parents bothered with sun cream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I hate running uphill. I'd probably enjoy it in Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I’m back on a health kick while the pubs are shut. Gym 5 times a week for mix of cardio and weights workouts. 3kg off in last two weeks. Keep getting good starts then falter. Given myself a target for Xmas day to be at a certain weight and also to be able to run a certain route on Xmas day morning before the presents get opened.

Leyther_Matt Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Not daring to weigh myself until probably Tuesday when some of the festive bloating might have settled down. In absolutely no doubt that I’ve put on at least two stone since August. Jeans still fit ok, but a few of my tops and beginning to feel more than a little bit snug. Time to knuckle down now.

Escobarp Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I finished 2020 3kg lighter than I started it. Which is disappointing as I had hoped for more but the effort I’ve put in probably justifies a worse finish than that Tbf off the drink now til the pubs open. Out for a run tomorrow which will be a killer and finally going to get round to using the resistance bands I’ve got and the workout @ZicoKellysent me about 8 months ago! 2 stone off by Easter as a minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deane koontz Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Lost most of the weight when i stopped drinking. I was doing less exercise compared to the start of the year too. Just a 5 mile walk 3 or 4 times a week. Want to start running again but if i'm honest i'll feel a bit of a twat pounding the cobbles with ye olde Covid doing the rounds. Need to find somewhere quite.
