Jill 0 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 At my heaviest since June 2012. The whole second half of this year has been a nightmare, I've had several difficult family problems and haven't been able to prioritise eating well/exercise. My willpower seems to be low too, any offer of nice food or drinks and I'm all over it at the minute. It's actually only about 4lbs difference which I know is nowt but it's annoying that I can see my weight creeping up but keep getting distracted when I try and do something about it. Need my game face on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19838 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Been playing 5 a side the past few weeks a couple of days a week on top of my other bits of training. It's had a massive impact on my all round fitness. I'm eating like a horse, way more than usual, but feel leaner everywhere and match sharpness has returned. You can't underestimate how important variation in training is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9010 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Put on a ton of weight over the past month for a bunch of reasons, gotta get back into better habits. Gonna dramatically reduce the carb/dairy intake I reckon. Wish I didn't find running as boring as I do, as I'm convinced that's the best way to lose weight/shape up in London.

Dr Gloom 19838 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Try doing sprint drills instead of going for log steady pace runs. I find running at a steady lick for more than two or three miles dull too. Sprint intervals so you have time to catch your breath before going flat out again are quicker and more interesting - more efficient way to burn fat too. Walking down a big flight of stairs or a steep hill then running up as fast as you can is good way to burn calories quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14060 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I keep trying to introduce hill shuttles into my routine because I know it'll help with parkrun and endurance generally, but christ the pain a day or two afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19838 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 ....i should add that a change of diet and reducing booze consumption will always have the most noticeable impact in my experience. Exercise alone won't produce the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's good pain because you know you've fatigued your muscles and they'll come back stronger. Training this way never gets easier because you just end up pushing yourself that bit harder but the pain definitely becomes more manageable. From an agonising sensation of muscles feeling torn to a dull ache that can be quite pleasant psychologically because it's evidence you worked hard.

Yeah, I can deal with that for most muscle groups, but there's something about the glutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9010 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Bigger than when you were at uni and turned up looking like one of those things that chase fraggles down holes? No, thank God. Can't be doing with paying for two tickets on a plane. I like how you tried to spin cream cake eating. Thanks. I've learnt something.. does that count as me going to a "spin class"?

Meenzer 14060 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Oh balls, I just got into the Royal Parks Half Marathon via the public ballot. It's supposed to be massively oversubscribed.

Dr Gloom 19838 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Shilajit is a hand-harvested resin made of primordial matter gathered from the Himalayan mountain ranges. It is an adaptogenic and neurostimulating mineral complex that contains over 18 amino acids. Shilajit enhances the immune system and increases the bioavailability of nutrients. A known love potion, it increases core vital, creative and sexual energy. One bottle is a single serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
