MattSantos Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 10 hours ago, Saint 1 said: New gym routine is really fun so far! I think having a coach has made me buy into the process even more too. Currently my routine is 4 gym sessions, 2 speed and 2 fitness sessions per week, along with rugby once a week too. Rugby coaching has started again these last few weeks though, so thatll typically be 4 days a week. I would do more if I had the time. Did 5k on the rower in 25 minutes today with it feeling pretty comfortable. Curious to see how much I can improve that in the coming weeks. Based on your fitness, you should be smashing 20 mins. The 2k is the true test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stage of my off-season is more about building a base for things to come so the intensity is somewhat limited. I've done a 7:30 2k previously, I'm not particularly built for rowing though! It's a 'rest' day today, went swimmimg for the first time in years! Followed by 2 hours of rugby coaching and some yoga. I’ve a 2k time trial on Thursday. Aim is less than 7 minutes. This has been my goal for years and years but injuries have always thwarted me. My best is 7:00:1 Card game today. 4 suits is either burpees, press ups, squats or lunges per leg. Ace is 15, King 13 and then down to 2. All 52 cards at random in the sun absolutely battered me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSantos Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Kiss my face you mothers!

gingerjon Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Ashford 10k on Sunday. It's meant to be a soggy one.

Bob8 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Bad news, some teenagers are getting the better of me in boxing. The good news is they are going on to have winning records. Had the honeymoon, but trying to get back into shape.

Bedford Roughyed Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 143.5... I have stalled slightly... With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanaBull Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Been crocked since September 5th, not the best prep for the 5K on October 20th but will still run what I can and walk the rest. Having to up the painkiller usage killed any appetite I had so I'm now down to 170.5 lbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a bit of an easing off period in the weights, just building a base for the months to come. Programme is worth the money so far! Im dreading my 1st row when i go home.

MattSantos Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just a reminder whilst im about bottles of champagne deep... I did 2k in under 7 mins. 1st row back wasnt that bad. 10*20 secs with 2 mins rest. Managed to hit 1:19 pace which was mega surprising. Weight: 118.

stimpo-and-kat Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 An enforcer week off after a DNF at Snowdon 50 ultra last week. Slipped and pulled my left groin coming over Tryfan, then fell on a rock on Snowdon and bruised the outside of my foot. Got to 30 miles into the race before calling it a day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaBull Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 My first ever 5K this morning in perfect weather on the Toronto lakeshore. Walked all but the last 500m that I ran in (wasn’t going over the line walking!) in 42:18. Target to beat for next year then 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
