The rebuild of M4L and a new challenge
-
i saw a chick go like that in front of me. She was only 300m from the finish.
I couldn't even laugh at that, those poor women were fucking cooked.
-
Ran the esplanade last night, exorcised a few demons by actually running it.
Have a bet with a mate, first to run a sub-50 minute 10km gets a good bottle of win. Did 51.54 last night, not sure where the other 2 minutes is going to come from. Might get a mate who is a gun runner to pace me.
-
Do that!
I have a friend who is a bit of a skinny deer, and when I ran with him (and let him do the talking) I’d always have fast times.
-
New year, new me, etc
Nah, bullshit. I'm already awesome.
Anyway, really just the right place to whinge about going to they gym just after New Years, when it is full of fucking nuffies trying to better themselves by either starting again, or starting from scratch. Suddenly the place is packed, and i can't do what i want, in the order i want it. I can't wait until Feb when it is back to normal.
I went for a run on the weekend, just a 5km at park run with the family. God it sucked. I have done barely any running since August, and i have gone from light and rhythmic in June, to heavy and plodding and slow in January. Felt like shit. So i will have to start again, because i miss how well i could run mid-year.
The problem is, at my age, it's super hard to get motivated without a goal. And seeing as i have sold all my triathlon shit, that's out the window.

My training regime for the last decade has basically been smash myself stupid for three months and let that slowly decline over the next nine...
I too have had enough of the NY resolution gym goers, so I'm putting it off for a few weeks.

latest gym pest whinge
fluffybunnies in stringlets working out with either no towel, or something inadequate, like a fucking tea towel (FFS). It's hot even in the airconed gym you feral pigs. Bring appropriate equipment.
Also fluffybunnies who try and use two stations at once. It's not your private workout area fluffybunny
Running still going, but in a nice change, i'm doing it with my boys. Slows it down a bit, but not much. 5km park run on the weekend they are doing in 32 mins, which is pretty good. And then we are doing a 7km during the week at about the same pace. The heat does get to them a bit though, even doing it at the start and end of the day.
I expect the older one to get faster pretty quick, as he is absolutely built for it, but the youngest is surprising the hell out of me with how he is busting them out.

I'm seeing a PT at 0530 each a few times a week and I even feel guilty when she has me covering two piece of equipment. There aren't a lot of people there at that time though
-
first game of touch in i reckon 4 years last night. Forgot how hard that motion is, up and back, sprint and stop. i was buggered!
-
Back running. 2 in 2 nights was a shock to the system. 3 in a week.
Not long, not fast, but not bad, and glad to see my fitness didn't dip too much after a month of complete inactivity

@mariner4life I've just looked at the top of this thread where you had abs (apparently) and enrolled in a half ironman. Fast forward 3yrs to 20fucken20 and you're patting yourself on the back for doing a couple of jogs.
Getting old and 2020 can eat a dick.

I've been doing 8 minute abs every day plus other's for around 6 months now. My ab's are fucking massive.
The fat covering them is much more massive though.

They were still attached to my head

Blessed in that regard to be a skinny fluffybunny who did a lot of core work
-
@mariner4life yeah the amount of core work I've done fared me well in that regard too - finally getting some definition back!
