Yep this is pretty much my train of thought at the moment. I don't though want to train for a marathon at the moment, I know the training and diet will have to change for that. I was hoping to eventually run around 14km's again, I enjoyed that distance. It seems a long way off.
Last year I trained for the Melbourne Marathon and have to say now that I did actually enjoy running, whilst I have never been good at it and being larger, I was slow but enjoyed getting out there hitting the pavement/grass. The issue I had was my weight being over 100kg's.
Since that venture...

Every week from here on should be a new PB for me now.
I started lifting again in November, had a break over Christmas and am 4 weeks back into it.
So my new PB's are:
Bench: 110kg x 5
Deadlift: 165kg x 5
Squat: 140kg x 5
O/Head Press : 70kg x 5
I'm actually trying to drop fat and on a...
Thabks for the tips. I think I definitely bend the arm so will concentrate on that.
The grip on the actual bar is nearly non existent to be honest, I had my own gym for awhile and the bar had way better grip. Being work I'm not sure if it's worth asking them to replace it for safety reasons...
A couple month before Christmas I started to lift again and for once sticking to it. Anyway I had noticed my bicep felt dull and achy and after a look around on google it seems the deadlift is more than likely the issue.
As most people the overhand grip works to a point and then people us the...

Is asking questions here about stuff you don't know about wrong or something, for crying out loud dude chill out.
I never said I did marathon training and tough mudder to lose fat, I know my diet was not suited for fat loss to do thise events.
I was here and I repeat again, that I was asking...
Ok to be less technical, I am asking what workouts people do to help 'aid' fatloss instead of pure fatloss. I enjoyed running for a marathon and training for tough mudder none of which helped me lose any fat and I wrongly presumed people did pure fatloss workouts, hence why I'm here trying to...
Not disputing that Goosey or looking for a quick fix. As mentioned earlier most of my cardio has been aimed at completing events so am looking at pure fat loss workouts and getting good info here. I have been progressing slowly to date so just getting a little bit more awareness and education as...
Do you lift, your diet is spot on, what do you do for fat loss workouts?
I've always trained to do tough mudder and even a marathon this year but never dropped any fat. I actually ate more.
Next year I am throwing these events in the bin to purely focus on fat loss. What workouts do you do in...
Should the timed train really be a factor? I started lifting again 10 weeks ago and am now intermediate on all lifts but at the bottom it says someone who has lifted for over 2 years? I mean I've been on again off again and haven't really ever stuck to a plan for a long period.
Just matched my PB's and dropped nearly 5kg's in 9 weeks.
Bench: 107.5kg x 5
Squat: 140kg x 5
Dead: 160kg x 5
Trying to drop some/a lot of fat so finding it hard to keep progressing.
If it helps any, I trained for the Melbourne Marathon recently, failed due to injury but during the training the longer runs really helped my shorter runs. At one stage a 16km became an easy run. I remember when my long run was about 24km, I did a 6km run at a faster pace and I was running a lot...
Well I managed to make it to the Melbourne Marathon and make it to the start and finish line. In between I checked out the town and had some brekkie at Fed Square, helped out a homeless lady and walked around a lot. Went to the pub afterwards, got home at midnight and got up at 3am for a flight...
Well unfortunately it seems my Marathon adventure has come to an end. Today I started light jogging again, did a 2km jog, rested and stretched and once I resumed the same injury flared up again. I felt fine for the first 2k's very refreshed but it seems the stopping and starting is an issue...
Been having physio the last week and a half and alot of stretching and walking.
Today I did a 30km bike ride in the gym in an hour and did a 5 minute walk then 5 minute light jog. Felt ok so hopefully I can start to increase the KM 's next week and see how I go.
3 weeks to go.
Thanks for that. Yeah that was my biggest fear having too much time out and undoing the hard work. I still haven't gotten my head around the taper, mentally I feel like running less means I can only run less on the day lol, dunno, feels weird knowing the hardest part is over and I'm still over 4...
All good. Muscle pretty much seized up so have a few physio sessions to get it stretched out again. Hopefully miss only a week.
I have underestimated the value of stretching.
