Keeping Fit

Coombs

I'm looking to get back up to ₁₅ miles/week by July. HIIT session with hill sprints, 4 mile run, racepace 5k, and a leisurely 10k on the weekend. So far working on strength doing HIIT and core, will build endurance back over the next few weeks. Want to be race ready if/when they're reinstated.

I've been doing enough workouts, 4-5 times a week, but my general activity through the day is appalling. I need to start going for a long walks everyday.

Watchu guys listen to during the runs?

Claudius

Lots of house or uptempo R&B playlists. So a Chicago deep house or a ministry of Sound. Or just make something from scratch. One album I find works well is Beyoncé’s Homecoming. I only listen to it on runs. Masterpiece. Pure energy

The sounds of mother nature.

I'll second this. I got a pair of BT earbuds but can't be bothered to use them or carry a phone. Nice to have some respite from the constant bludgeoning of media that I subject myself to.

So I ran 3 miles yesterday. First run in quite a while, but dang it felt so good. Thanks for popping the thread and getting me back on my wheels.

Daz

Good to hear flobs. Take care of yourself buddy.

Sweet. Is that on Spotify or...?

Actually there are quite a few lists of “relaxing nature sounds". 😆

I need some uptempo stuff myself. R3hab, Garrix, KSHMR, Don Diablo etc. works nicely. I did try to run without music, but that's when I found out that the music is apparently distracting me from being dead on my feet after five minutes.

Gyms opening back up again in seven days here. Can't wait. Tired of working out at home.

Great recipes here from our performance nutritionist. He teams up with a chef so they're actually nice. Most nutritionist just name random ingredients that are health and call it a meal. These are delicious

Not sure what the added nutritional value of using whole weat for a tortilla choice is. Whitebread is never a good option

Also for that "Moroccan cous cous" recipe him and his chef deserve to be castrated with a blunt stick. Bad enough to see disgusting couscous salads in cooling shelves these guys have some cheek to call it Moroccan.

So a Hawk woke me up at 5 AM the other day, yeah. Could not go back to sleep, decided to go for a run. Ended up doing 20km, 2:03h. Decent time. Depending on my time on my 50 km race I'm really thinking about trying an ultra race, one time in my life, just so I can say I did it.

Coombs

Your 20k pace is my 10k pace, HS.

Didn't get up to the 15 miles p/week by July like I hoped at the top of this page. Ran 12 in the last 7 days, so getting there. I'm out of shape so I had to take more rests and run a bit shorter than I thought I could. HITT/intervals are getting me there faster, but I honestly I hate doing them. I'm at 8,300 feet and running hill sprints is punishing.

I want to get out on the trails but they've ridiculously crowded, parking is a nightmare, etc. Just gotta bite the bullet at some point, because there are some great runs out here.

Was the internet down?

I’ve torn my calf muscle during footy 🙁

Typically this happens just as I was getting into a load of good habits.

mohan

That feels like shit.
Same story here. I sprained my back running after a long time and man, its killing me.

Gazza M

Yep my back went out after about 3 months into a really good workout groove. We're old bastards
