I had a hoodie when I ran last night but that sh*t kept bouncing on my head. Drove me crazy so I just dealt with the cold. Next time I'm wearing my bright orange beanie so I'm that much warmer and visible to oncoming traffic.
 
on a real downer at the moment. Dunno why feeling crappy after sleeping 12 hours last night, workout in the gym was good today but my body just feels like **** now. 4 mile run later tonight may pick the mood up hopefully :/
 
How'd the run go Chub?
 
How'd the run go Chub?

ended up falling asleep lol.

Been having pc problems the last week thats why i've not been around. Done back this morning and off to circuits later tonight then shoulders/abs tomorrow morning and a run in the evening :)
 
got the times wrong for the circuit class so went for a run instead. my usual 3.2mile with a bit extra, think it was about 3.8m in the end. feelin great :)
 
good deal
 
so 10 day break from the gym. ended up on a 5 day bender for my birthday. back in the gym today, total murder!

up early tomorrow for a run then a swim in the afternoon before work :)
 
still alive :P
 
i haven't updated in a long time so i thought i'd get this going again!

The past few months have been concentrated on power,speed,endurance and stamina.

Boxing,circuit training and running. my push bike is fooked, so no cycling yet lol.

The goal is still the green beret. i applied back in March but was told to come back in December. Due to my fine (see a few pages back) it needs to be 2.5 years since it happened before i can apply. more time to train though since my running is not up to standard!

stay tuned for more! :)
 
I'll update today later on before bed. Just come back Circuit training and boxing :)
 
warm up and stretch then 10 exercises for 30 seconds each.

press ups
tuck jumps
sit ups (double twist)
squat jumps
star jumps
press ups (thumbs touching)
burpees
dorsal raise
press ups (clapping hands)

After that the circuit was done again for a minute and a half this time.

Took about an hour including warm up/cool down and stretching.

After that 30mins rest before boxing. Boxing was a 45minute circuit, similiar to the one i just done but with 18 stations. When that was done i done 30minutes of bag work then 10mins of abs.

:hammer:
 
my 4mile run i planned for this morning was cancelled due to being called into work. managed to slip in a 2.7mile on my break lol. rest day tomorrow and maybe sunday depending on how i feel, working 12 hours tomorrow and sunday too :(

The run wasn't that good, way to windy and my legs were still sore from wednesday nights training.

Today was a run. Managed my 3.2mile route without stopping in 26minutes :) pleased with that, had a bit of stitch most of the way so my pace was slowing down a bit then picking up.

ok so after hurting my back the other week at work i decided to take some time off. It was better after about 6-7 days but i didn't want to jump right back into things. I was just moving crates at work and pulled a muscle in my right lat, upper back. well sore! but its better now!

missed my run yesterday, i'll get one in tomorrow morning then circuits at night :)

run this afternoon. 4.9mile (7.8km) in around 38-40mins. didn't have a watch on. good run :)
 
even though i'm running like a 8minute mile its a huge improvement from say 2 months ago. i'd be constantly stopping after a mile and a half - 2miles. but i'm runnning further and further now without having to stop (apart from the other day on the treadmill) my runs for the last 3 weeks at least i haven't felt the need to stop :)

away for a run just now, got 3 hours off between shifts so i'll get one in!

Improvement is always good, Dave! Kill it! I'm going to start doing a longer run once a week - even though I feel like I'm running slow, just put the body on autopilot and away you go. Do it long enough and you definitely notice that it gets easier and you get faster :)
 
3.2mile run this afternoon. 26 n a half minutes. I HAD to stop at one point, my legs were just on fire :( stopped and walked for about 45secs to a minute. I'll put it down to lack of sleep last night, got about 4-5 hours sleep. ontop of my run i've worked 14hours today too so i'm pretty pooped now! up early for a swim (first in months) then circuit training later in the evening.

If i hadn't of stopped on todays run it would of been a best time for my 3.2mile :) next time!

i enjoy the long runs, its starting to get really cold here now so the out door runs arn't as fun. the cold hits my lungs pretty hard :(

pleased with how much my fitness has improved the last 6 weeks!

bedtime :cheers:

I prefer the cooler weather - running in heat is very draining and exhausts me. Give me a chill and a little bite and I am wide awake and loving it!
