    thanks all :cool:
    hanley did a fancy video I'm happy to PM if anyone wants

    00:01:00 | 200 m | sprint
    00:01:00 | 200 m | sprint

    first 4 were at 11 kph, last 2 were at 12 kph. the 11 was easier than i was expecting, a lot more so. rest intervals were 1 min walking
    chest feels a bit dodgy still but i wasnt huffing and puffing that much


    i put my music books in my gym bag today then did a lot of mental whingeing at walking around with it cos it's pretty heavy now. then i laughed at myself whingeing about carrying heavy stuff considering my last post :p
    maybe i should walk around with a bag of weights. great craic

    Good going, that. What kinda speed would you normally do for your sprints?


  • Registered Users Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭coffee_cake


    havent done them in ages. i was slowly working them up over a long time.
    once upon a time 10kph was sprinting speed
    15 was fun. I might keep it to 13 and 15. see how I feel on any given day really

    I soooo did not want to go today... but I'm sooo glad I did :)

    dumbbell bench is so wobbly at the start it's weird. I think my left is slightly weaker ??

    I think my left side is weaker than my right too, but maybe that's just psychological, or else maybe it has better stabilisation muscles or co-ordination etc. so 'feels' stronger? :confused:
