The Next Chapter - Being Better Than Most People At Most Things

BeginnerRunner · 2020-11-11 20:19:13

Running has always been my Achilles heel. Recently, after many years of lifting heavy things, I figured it was time to really get stuck into solving that problem. Over the years I've done some decent strength and anaerobic ...things... but never really managed to crack running. Sitting around 100kg with lungs that were far…

Another bumper update. Still not 100% ok so easing myself back in.

Saturday's run was grand. Was absolutely in bits after it physically. Thought I'd lost all my preparedness but then remembered I'd also assembled a trampoline for my son that day and spent a large portion of the next 48 hours ****ing around on it. So the physical discomfort was probably as a result of that

Monday's run was really just a bit of a shakedown to get something done. Got runs planned for tomorrow and Saturday too. Might stick a short one in elsewhere to get back to 30km/week.

Both lifting sessions fairly sucked. Endurance fell off the edge of a cliff but that's not too surprising after 2 sessions in as many weeks.

We're off to Connemara for a couple of weeks in july so using between now and then as a run in to really knuckle down with training and try to drop some body fat. I've been paying attention to things recently and my BW currently is sitting right around my average lowest weight for the last couple of years anyway.

If I could drop 5.6kg between now and then I'd be a very happy camper.
