Losing weight/fitness thread

[Bazz]

Yesterday, when I was in the office out of no where (as in I didn’t hurt it in any way) my foot/ankle/achilles twinged. Didnt think anything of it at the time. I’ve had an awful nights sleep. Whenever I move my foot I get a shooting pain, which is getting worse.

My foot doesn’t appear swollen but
walking/weight baring feels difficult. No idea what I’ve done and no idea if I can/should walk on it. Really weird. I’m gonna get some ibuprofen and paracetamol in me which will hopefully at least take the edge off and reduce inflammation.

Gutted as I’m approaching 700 days of walking at least 10k steps and looks like the streak could be over before I reach 2 years.

Weird isn't it. I've noticed as I go through my 40s that just moving hurts sometimes. Like I need oiling.

Best not tell you what it’s like in your 60’s

I just hope I'm as active as you if I get there.

Mile repeats this morning, I've really struggled to get myself to go out this week. So much so that, I'll be running Saturday and Sunday to get my runs in.
Not horrendous as it's a deload week.

Intervals where 2 mile repeats with a 2 minute rest between. Miles where to be at 7:50 minute miles. Mile 1 - 7:55 and Mile 2 - 7:32.

So pretty happy with that.

Might try a bit of WD40… Bizarre though. Unplanned rest day it is.

3.93 easy miles last night.
We've had some snow and everything frozen here, hoping for a quick thaw to get out later.

Made a small change to my lunch time eating habits. Instead of buying pre sliced cheese and grated cheese. I bought a small grater in B+M for a pound.
I now use far less cheese than I normally would.

Its actually so much easier to clean than the big grater I have at home.

Its got to save me a fair bit of calories over a month.

Down half a kg today

Run/Walk/Run 4 Mile session today, decided on a 3 min run/30 Sec walk strategy to see how it went.

1 min out of house it started to rain, turned to hailstones then sleet, then snow, lasted about 10 minutes.

Ran just over 5 mile in total with the 4 mile run/walk/run miles being completed in 35:21 or 8:50 Avg per mile.

Reasonably happy with that considering nearly 5 minutes of that was walking.

Weight staying pretty stable only 1lb off this week.

Really struggling with motivation and consistency due to how works been since start of the year. But did 10km on the Rower today in 46mins at a steady pace and then 10 sets of dead hangs for 30secs each.

Weight is still to low at 72KG due to the amount of physical activity work has been since the new year with not a lot of food Due to conditions. However, Flying home Sunday afternoon so can reset and get a proper routine going for rest of the year from Monday and get the weight back up to a stable place.
