Weights bore me to shit now Also I've never wanted to be hench or whatever - just want to never have a gut and be reasonably healthy. Basically I just always want to look like one of The Replacements or The Dead Boys which is more difficult in your mid 40s! Quote

Not in Crawley Posted February 7, 2024 Posted February 7, 2024 I also work at a desk all day so going out for a run is good - so many of my colleagues have said since working from home you can work for 8 till 8/9 and you look up and you've not been out of those in two/three days. Gym doesn't really help after the busy days. Quote

Weights bore me to shit now Aye, doing body weight stuff at home and it's no where near as satisfying as a run or hitt I've not done it and probably won't but I really like the look and sound of Hyrox Quote

Worse still, I went over on my ankle half way though the trip, so have a tennis ball on the side of my foot! Managed to walk ok and have done a few spin sessions since. Just need the fucker to heal very very quickly. Quote

Looking like a stress fracture to the shin to add to everything else. 🙄 Wow! I finished with a severe pain at base of my shin - a new pain for me. Still not gone. Coincidentally the same leg/ankle that I’ve since gone over on. Good luck with the rehab. Edited February 21, 2024 by Smiley Quote
fishbulb Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Well done. 4:33 is not too shabby at all. A minute in front of a lad from our club who is decent. I had a word with Hopey at the start, first time I've seen him in a while btw. Quote

Hopey ended up doing the 17 mile route again (he came first last year). Quote

Dr Faustus Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Anyone done an ultra marathon? Can you walk these things, or still have to be at pace? Quote

Not in Crawley Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 The problem with marathons for me is comitting the training time. Just can't be bothered. with a nice half marathon, but can still do decent training without it taking over your life, and you're finished within the morning to actually enjoy the day out Quote
