Losing weight/fitness thread

[Paperboy]

Went to support friend today who was doing her 10th marathon in 10 days.
Ended up running a marathon myself
Elapsed time was 4:59:46, moving time 4:45. Had to have 3 toilet breaks
Walked about 3 miles, which I’ll take considering I’ve only been training for a half

Exercise wise, I’m doing well. Weights 4-5 times a week, swimming 1-2 times a week, the odd skipping session and long dog walks every day (averaging 17k steps a day). Plus lighter nights mean I can get the occasional 9 holes in. Been a busy few months with holidays, parties and family celebrations. Meaning diet has not been great, or more accurately not consistent. So I’m getting fitter/stringer but weight pretty much staying constant. Still off with our daughter so we’ve planned days out this week which will include eating out etc. Will switch back on fully next week.

Well done. For me that's most important.

A wee 4 mile run last night in just over 40mins, nice and easy
Have entered the ballot for next year’s London Marathon

Locked in now, head down for my holiday in July.

14st 1lb, with a target of 13st 6lb.

Did 10.5 miles this morning, in 1hr 31...I think I could've carried that on for my first sub 2hr half

Feels strange but I haven't been to the gym this week. Worked away a couple of days which changed my week, walked 6 miles one night with a mate and playing golf tomorrow so still a bit active but I have missed it. Eaten sensibly and only had a drink last night so done ok that wise.

Walked the dog and walked to Molineux after this, fell into bed having done 33,000 steps.
Up at 7am to do 5 miles. Need to get into that bikini on holiday.

Just seen that Alex Yee has completed the London marathon in 2:11, 2nd fastest Briton and came 14th in his first ever marathon. He has trained for it alongside his usual triathlon schedule. Amazing effort

I hate my new 'regime'.

Paid upfront for a three month course with an online PT, then he went away on a golf trip the next day lol.

App based, I have two choices of main meals throughout the day, so wifey prepared 7 of each, but jeez, I am bored. I'm sure there's more, but my forst check in with him is tomorrow. He will be told I'm not at all happy.

It's a simple enough programme, with x calories, broken down into carbs/protein/fats etc and I am way under that. 8,000 steps a day - done - cardio two times a week, upper body, lower body another two days - no idea what happens on the other three.

I'm a kilo down of a 5 kilo initial target, but I could have done that on diet alone.

Will see what he says tomorrow...

My first formal 10k today, was confident of breaking the 1hr barrier, was flying until the 5.5km mark when my calf went! Limped/jogged the rest of the way, still did it in 1:03 which I’m happy with as I had to walk a bit due to pain.

 

[Paperboy]

Kaunas half marathon today, struggled for first couple of miles. Then got into a rhythm, got too 10 miles and held on for dear life.
Still no official results, Strava says 1:54:40 so pretty happy considering all my runs have been easy ones this year

 

[BrianM]

Wee run this morning, 3.12 miles in 25.03 minutes, 8.01 mins per mile.
Some heat for 9am.

 

[Orikoru]

Just been in Scotland for 5 days, survived on a diet of cooked breakfasts, cakes, biscuits, takeaways, and restaurant dinners, and only put 2 pounds on. I'll take that!

 

[Marshy77]

Gym tonight. All upper body dumbbell and kettlebell session with 10 minutes of stretching at the end. Hips are still really sore but my back was feeling great until i played golf on Sunday!!

 

[BrianM]

Another 3.77miles tonight in 39 minutes, 10.31 minutes per mile!!

What did he say?

 

[Burnsey]

What did he say?

He apologised for taking me on when going away, blah, blah. Restarted the programme, sending more food choices, wants a video of my exercised to critique and will make an effort. I'm not sure I can be bothered. It is an app, laid out with food and exercise - otherwise known as a rip off.

Very miffed currently.
