Nothing too strenuous this morning, just some body weight core stuff. Planks, Pushups, situps, legdrops, supermans.
Ended up running 9k after work yesterday along the river, then beer league ball game. I swear baseball is harder on the body than running.
Had a good 5.5k run this evening.
Well hitting a ball over a fence is harder thsnt running :-)Quote:

Ran the stadium again this morning. Completed full lower bowl and over half of the upper bowl 75/96 sections in 55 minutes.
Could you ware s gopro next time so that we have an idea how bug this stadium is? Is your alter ego Forest Gump? I aware you run as much or more than he did :-) BTW great jobQuote:

Thx, FYI I brisk walk about the same distace . it saves energy for crutches and that new fad planking.Quote:

hmm, the video didn't upload.
A bit more than just the stadium, but gives you an idea. Also, it is a great example of Edmonton's weather. All the clips were filmed in May, going from brown grass to snow to green grass.

Hills today, 2.5k before and after. Starting to find a rythym around 6:30/km average, faster on the flats, slower on the hills, but staying steady for the last couple weeks. Also down almost 10 lbs in the last 6 weeks.
Wow, you even managed to get you running the stairs(first pic)Quote:

This morning's run was a bit of a change. I decided to run in my neighborhood roads and sidewalks instead of a trail or track... Slow and easy, I have a sore knee from pushing it lately. The distance was somewhere around two miles with some hills and grass mixed in.
Have a good week, harriers!
What about rocks and gravel with the that MTB ?Quote:

Oh, I never saw the part about your knee, is it feeling better? I was asking if you took your MTB over rocks and gravel?Quote:

If that's directed at myself, then yes, although today's ride was on relatively smooth dirt single track and also part tarmac.Quote:

I somehow managed to read Thug's pot and you post as one :-)Quote:

This mornings workout was pretty cool, split into 2 groups one did lunges, squats, and lap while the other did dragon boat races. Switched halfway through.
So how did you feel after the 20k?Quote:

Only problem with coke though is that you spike and then fall down again, so you would need to keep drinking every couple of km's or so.
I got my lazy arse out of bed at 4:15 this morning and did a hilly 29km road ride on my MTB.
Ooh, I hate those days, feels like aer down and a waste of timeQuote:

I take you gents on here are pretty much runners. I cant run to save myself even though I am in good shape. I use a interval timer and run for 20 sec, then walk for 20 I do this for 15 cycles and it gives me about 10 min. I jump rope for 10 min straight and do kettle bells and swing heavy indian clubs.
Keep me in shape. I also do some heavy weight lifts. What I do is example. 10 bench presses and 1 squat, rest 30 sec. then I do 9 bench presses and 2 squats, and keep going till I am at 1 bench press and 10 squats. Does not seem like much but it does built endurance and strength.
Those are creative sets, never thought of increase reps on one exerdise while decreasing the repss on another,.Quote:

I do 2 or 3 different sets of these you can use body weight for some weights for others. I do it with a 40 pound slam ball and shoulder presses. Talk about cardio and strength training in one.
I have to live to 100 so I can be a burden to the state retirement system.
I would spread it out throughout the day, your body will probably process it more efficiently. I take 1 teaspoon / serving. Hope this helps.Quote:
