Today's Workout Thread

[Thug]

Sunday was windy, rainy, and 6 deg C out, so it seemed like a good day to see how my half in February will feel. Didn't do a full 21.1 km, only 19.6.

So how did you feel after the 20k?

So how did you feel after the 20k?

Tired. Honestly, I think I could have gone further, just hit a wall.

Well done!

Did you have anything to eat whilst on the run? Hitting the wall is a sign of energy stores being depleted. Either eat something (banana, energy bar) or have a drink of coke. 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.

I had a GU energy gel before and 2 during, and had some Skratch powder mixed in my hydration pack. I might have gone too long between gels, but this was also the first time I've ran that long

If you like pain, drink a glass of milk, wait 30 minutes ... And LIFT :-). Or :-( if you have done this before
Gotta have milk with central... Oooops.

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,.

It works well for me. I do the exercise programs in the fall and winter from muscle and fitness magazine. I cant always do the programs like they do , I am a 54 year old male and I am a little out of the lime light at my age. I can still keep up with the younger ones but in a different way.

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.

Firefighter, have you taken more than 5g of glutimean at once? Wondering if it natters if I take 20g at once or if spreading it out through out the day is better?

I would spread it out throughout the day, your body will probably process it more efficiently. I take 1 teaspoon / serving. Hope this helps.
