Losing weight/fitness thread

[Wilson]

Anyone tried Hyrox? Looks brutal and I break out in a sweat just reading about it, but looks like it is really popular at the moment.

A mate of mine does it, and loves it, goes all over the place to do it - he's an ex-rugby player who still trains every day, he's suggested I try some of the exercises at the gym to see if it's something I could do, it looks pretty brutal.

Night sweats - I feel your pain...waking up soaking wet, get up to literally towel off, then return to a damp and now cold bed. Grim. Thankfully I'm old enough to be through the worst of that!

Just not what you need! Especially when the wife's got the fan / AC on anyways as she is always hot so it's impossible that I'm hot lol

Just playing around with simmer. My next 4 deliveries have 30% off as planned. Then I can skip the second week I'm nights and stock up the week before without having to eat them when I'm at home to cook



Lovely salad from the wife tonight.

My tea was steak and green veg. No pic though.

Looks scrummy. I love a good salad but can never be bothered to get all the component parts together! I'm a very lazy "cook"!

Decent gym session today, bit slow because it was busy, but got their in the end.
Run tomorrow at some point.

 

[BrianM]

Just in from a run, 5.87miles in 54mins.
Felt pretty good considering the hills

Couple of pairs of new running shoes, ASICS will be my main ones though

I am reminded this week just how easy it is to put on weight and just how hard it is to take off.

Nice. Are the Asics the glideride things? I've got a couple of pairs as my heels aren't great so any help with the heel/toe transition is useful.

Here’s the details here Amanda, I’ve got the Kayano 20, from 2018, I was fitted for them back then so went with the latest alternative

I used to work at Sportsshoes. First Saturday job. Amazing times. The shop was huge. Sadly no longer there.

I’m with Vitality through work, get 3 pairs of full price shoes at half price for the year and 15% of all clothing, so really decent discount

It's a proper sports company. They know their stuff. Great deal that at half price.

Just watched the first half of the Glucose Goddess show on Channel 4. I think I'll buy the book as it is way too irritating. I am not having it that the woman with acne had NEVER been told there could be a link to her diet. Nor to the diabetic guy that he'd NEVER been told that glucose spikes and what he eats makes his diabetes worse.

They're either lying or not listening. Annoying, as I'm sure the programme has some good information.

Have you ever tried the 'Jeff' method? Jeff Galloway I believe. My wife uses that, her ladies running group have all converted to it as well. Might sound strange but she swears by it

Jeffing saw me round my Ironman in Copenhagen. Can’t recommend it enough.

I’d injured my knee so had done hardly any run training in the lead up because of it. So by the back half of the marathon (and with the light and people dwindling) I was on struggle street.

Jeff’d it round the last 13.1 miles almost exclusively to see me cross the finish line. Still got unfinished marathon business because of it, which I’ll hopefully address one day.

Still not cleaned my bike though (this was August 2019 )

Need to start again. Bought some oven proof glass dishes and lids from IKEA at the weekend. Keep seeing these chuck it all in rice/potato dishes mainly with chicken. Might do some baked oats too.

Check out Dave fell fitness on Instagram. He has some great one pot meal prep recipes.

I’ve not watched any of the program etc, did she really say 30mg/dl glucose is a spike or is it misquoted?

My understanding is that the average level is good if it’s around 100mg/dl. So 30 can’t be a spike?

Another 7 miles in the bank this evening, and my app tells me I've now done 5006 miles, which works out roughly from Wolverhampton to Las Vegas....no wonder I'm knackered all the time.

 

[BrianM]

3.95miles in 34mins tonight.
Wasn’t in the plan for a run tonight but left my gym gear at home, so decided to just get a run in.

 

[Paperboy]

7.5 miles today for me, hip was ok for the main. Apart from up one steep hill, but was dragging some of the ladies up it.
Not continuous as a club run with stops.
