I'm sort of back in the loop training wise.
Did 16k today at 1h 7m.
Felt good to get that kind of time on this distance, a few more weeks and I should be able to get to where I was this spring.
Well done. That's a lot of climbing in such a short distance.Quote:

I didn't want to do any thing resembling exercise today. I had planned a 70km ride. I had to force myself to even attempt my 40km ride and so I punished myself for being so damn lazy and added an extra 10kms to that. All up 50kms today.

Do girl scout cookie ALWAY constitute a cheat day ?

Stairs today, with 3k warm up/cool down. Felt like crap, work stress affecting my runs, not cool.
ahh, yes, but because of the magic of the int-er-net girl scout cookies can be had almost year round. Instead of having yo wait for that once or twice oh so special knock at the door'would you like to buy some girl scout cookies'.Quote:

Probably not!Quote:

It's cardio today, so the heavybag & treadmill are my 2 choices. (Thug was using his bike, I couldn't borrow it).
:rofl2:
Back to the iron tomorrow, have a good weekend everyone.
Puch him a few times = heavy bag :-)Quote:

I thought it would be a good idea to get as much workout in as possible before the Thanksgiving onslaught. I'll have to spend the day doing cardio while the gym's closed for the Holiday!
try some superman pushups https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JkjmNNvFiUQuote:

[QUOTE=whoever;1552683]try some superman pushups
I tried.......and I failed. You must have to have a different design to do them, my body said "no". ;)
Gotta love those moments when your legs don't want to cooperate, and you know of it weren't a race you could had fine it three times overQuote:

I tend to come very close to the edge of overdoing it. One day if I'm not careful, I just might. :)
Mick
correct :-) and if you didn't push past your limits , you would never gain muscle or expand your limits, I say limits are when you just physically cannot do the exercise any more. but you still have to know when to stop after pushing past your limits to not injure yourself.
Pre and post turkey workouts on the long weekend.
Sunday, 11km run
Monday, Interval training:
Warm up; 5x 45 seconds on/15 seconds rest of Jumping jacks, mountain climbers, squats.
7x 1 minute of burpees, 50m sprint
5 minutes alernating 12x Slow pushups/V sits, 50m sprint
Finish off with a Sally of squats, 3.5 minutes.
What is Sally? Using Moby's "Flower" as a cue, "Sally down" means hold a squat until you hear "Sally up", then jump out of the squat, and then repeat for 3.5 minutes. Sounds easy, right. It can also be done with pushups.

5 @ 50%
3 @ 60%

Hi guys. Been away climbing for the last nine days in The Grampians in Victoria. Each day was an incredible workout; hiking with a pack and 'crash pad' on my back, bouldering and lead climbing.
Lost 2 kilos and a whole percent of body fat. Also lost the skin from most of my fingers and, at times, my sanity.
Climbed a few V2 problems and a couple of V3s, also some 'high ball' (as in, if I fall I'm dead or seriously damaged if I fall) problems and some grade 19 lead climbs. Pretty easy stuff all in all but I'm happy with what I did.
I know it's rather self indulgent of me, but here are some photos:

On a slab near Hall's Gap. After three moves I'd had three footers break on me. It was a little sketchy but I needed to try it.

On 'Three Sleeps' in a cave at a place named 'Loopeys' near Hollow Mountain cave.

If you zoom in really close you can see my "What the F am I doing?" face. Down-climbing into a cave above Taipan Wall.

Good thing you've got the crash pad, some of them positions look pretty gnarly!
Man, I miss rock climbing. Looks like a blast.
Stairs today, warm up run at 5:15/km, 30 mins of stair repeats with pushup, situps and burpees at the top, cool down run at 5:45/km.
