Losing weight/fitness thread

[PaulMdj]

5K - Training plan this morning, 5 minute warm up, 1 mile run walk run, 5 minute cool down.

Did that then continued to 5 mile.

Such a weird session, really didn’t fancy going out in the cold for less than 18 minutes.

Today’s session was a repeat of the above from sunday, so decided to do same 5 mile.

The session itself, run/walk 1 mile:

Sunday - ran 4 minutes, walked 30 secs - time for mile was 8:17

Today - ran 3 minutes, walked 30 secs - time for was 8:07.

Next time I’ll try run 2 minutes, walk 30 secs and see the difference, if any.

Overall today was 2mins 40 faster than sunday, which is pleasing as I didn’t mentally race myself.

Weight holding steady 2lb off in just under 2 weeks.

That is 2550 press ups done with 3 days to spare, enjoyable enough challenge.
Debating an easy run tonight, slow pace just to test the hamstring / groin…..
That’s 11 days since a run or cycle(peloton).

Be careful mate, not worth making it worse or setting yourself back.

Cheers Paul.
Did a very easy 5 miles in 51 minutes with a good stretching session after.
Touch wood, everything feels good.
Think it will be a few runs at this sort of pace to keep on strengthening the legs.

Whats this press up challenge?

I've been doing at least 50 a day since some time in late November. Its just routine now. I break them up over the evening and quite often do 10 as soon as I get up.

I have seen a lot of ads recently for fitness where they do your blood works . I hadn't heard of this before , anyone know much about it / had it done ?

You noticed any visible results?

I started doing 100 a day a few years back and kept it up for a month or so before dying off. Would like to start again, but the first few weeks are hard as I'm doing 10 (bad ones) at a time and having to spread them out, so finding quiet places in the office to try and get some done during the day haha.

Just something I did myself Gary, amazing how quickly you adapt and can get them in quickly.

I can see some difference yeah. I've done over 100 at times but that seemed a bit of a stretch for me at the time.
Im doing a daily exercise set by someone's in works trainer too. Gets the full body worked out over the week.
I call this type of work bite size exercise. Much more sustainable than the thought of 3×1hr a week at the gym.

Yeah. I could barely muster 8 at the start. Im up to 20 now. Pushing to 25 is still a bit off yet.

I had it done a few years back, Fitness Genes i think the company was. Looked at the results and recommendations and then never looked at it again. Wasn't worth it for me.

Well that’s work done before travelling down south tomorrow for my best mate’s wedding this weekend. Aye fairly well today but the two bags of mini eggs went down a treat.

Alright moneybags. My dad bought the kids a pack of them and still goes on about the £4 they cost him.

I've done 36 miles this week and stayed the same. We go again.
