Ross. Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Got a short run(4.5k) which i have been managed 5 times in the last 10 days. Essentially just up and down two hills, then home. 105m climb over a very short distance and leaves me absolutely fucked every time. Taken my time down from 30 minutes to 26 minutes so far. Will keep at it and see if I can get under 24 minutes. Also been trying to do sets of press ups to break up the monotony of working from home. Started the week with 10 sets of 10, done 11x11 on Tuesday, 13x13 yesterday and 14x14 today. I want to get up to 20x20 before the end of next week and will see how high I can take it thereafter. Will need to make sure I stop whenever we are back in the office mind you. Don’t want to be the new office oddball... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 400 press-ups then a 2 hr run with the dog to start the day. Now off to start a punchbag workout. Caffeine’s a hell of a drug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs and mother seem to think I should be at death’s door but a couple of days’ meds and the fever etc lifted. Always get a fitness kick on when the clocks change and the days get a bit longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the clock changes giving your training a boost but I would maybe get some advice. Long distance running and extreme exercise in general reduces your body's ability to fight infection. I'm not sure how this would relate to Lyme disease but it's definitely worth inquiring about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I swear you're going to drop down dead of a heart attackWhilst Shandon would rinse me skills wise at boxing, I still give myself a strong punchers chance if we ever meet in the ring, by targeting his coffee addled ticker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Whilst Shandon would rinse me skills wise at boxing, I still give myself a strong punchers chance if we ever meet in the ring, by targeting his coffee addled ticker. I’d be hoping to grind him down with body shots or relying on his heart giving out - most hope would be on the latter. 3 mile run at a very gentle pace with my mum this morning. Said she had to get 5 photos for her jogging group bingo thing - 21 photos by the end. It was very frustrating but first I’ve done for about two weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Instead of 100 press ups today I decided to do 1000. Done 850 so far so will rattle off a few more once my dinner has gone down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 3 hours? The virus is clearly taking its toll on members. Pics of your mum or GTF.It’s taken hold of your reading ability. 3 miles. It was 3.1 miles or something. Half an hour or so, most of it stood waiting while she took photos. She’s happily married but if it goes south, I’ll put in a word for you [emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the junior threads are seeing disagreements! It was something, knee was sore after about 10 minutes but eased off again quick enough. Will try and get out again tomorrow now I know a pleasant route that’s not too strenuous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant for you to at least get moving on it again. Have you tried the double strength ibuprofen (Cuprofen?) from chemists? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the double strength ibuprofen (Cuprofen?) from chemists?Nah, it’s no really worth it and I’m quite adverse to painkillers etc in general. Was only sore for 5/10 minutes and not agony, but not right - didn’t last though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achievable More like over 12 hours! Managed 1000 okay today. Just 50-150 here and there in 20-50 reps. Don’t really have to set aside any time. Do 50 waiting for kettle to boil or espresso machine to do its magic, then another waiting for it to cool, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
