16km run today @ 6.30/km @ 102.7kg
This is the longest run I have ever done so bit happy about it. I put on my old shoes and took it easy so I didn't get any foot pain. The old shoes tend to feel less bouncy I guess and found that I could keep a faster pace with the new shoes but I guess there...
13km run @ 6.01/km.
Cracked the 10k under 1 hour for the first time. Still ran with pain and numbish toes for about 8km's though. Hoping they break in soon.
6 X 400m w/200 jog recovery.
Went out guns a blazing feeling great until I hit the 300m mark on the first run and sucked in a lot of gas and as expected every set there after was progressively slower.
Thanks, I appreciate your input and am not discounting it so I don't want to come across like that. I much prefer strength training and hate running so I'd rather hit the weights than go for a run. Preferably this will be the one and only marathon I will do, as stated at the start it's more for...
I've been doing this workout all year as I used it to prepare for Toughmudder earlier in the year.
When training for Mudder I was doing a strength program as well and found running harder after doing squats.
I guess the only part of this workout that is an issue is the jumping squats, I end up...
Today I did the Bas Rutten all round workout. 28 minutes of shadow boxing, pushups, lunges, jumping squats, sprawls, hill climbers, abs. Will be regular Wednesday workout.
Should I also maybe consider transferring all this over to 'member diaries?
BW 102.5kg
Easy 10km @ 6.08/km
Broke in a new pair of Mizunos today. It was the first run I have done without feeling any leg burn but the foot pain was incredible. Right in the middle next to the ball of the foot, the shoe has some ball like lump and was putting pressure on my feet, after...
Dunno if there would be any interest in me keeping a training log here for people to follow? Today was day 1 of my real 12 week marathon training program. I'll post up if people are interested.
BW: 102.2kg
3 X 1km w/ 2 min rest
1km: 4.47
2km: 4.49
3km: 4.53
I start my official 12 week Marathon program on Monday but have been running pretty much all year and still hate it. Probably enjoyed 1 run so far. I'm hovering between 101kg to 103kg and have built upto a 15km run. I'm slow compared to majority of the runners out there and majority of my run my...
So I've been running for a month now 3 times per week, 1 strength training session, 1 sprint session and a full body HIIT and eating a clean diet except for a cheat meal on a Saturday night, also been 7 weeks since I had any alcohol and have put on a kilo and a half in a month :-(
I've been...
I guess what I'm wondering is with the training program above where there is running 6 days per week, where the heck do you fit strength training into the picture. There are 2 speed days and one light day and 1 complete day off on Monday. I'm guessing getting in 2 strength sessions maybe on the...
Thanks. My next question would be where to fit in strength workouts in that plan. 1 full body or 2 split or 2 full body? No idea, never run that much before.
So to clarify, yes I'm over 100kg now, the event is in October. I don't plan on being over 100kg for the run.
I've completed 3 Tough Mudders and have been over 100kg's for each and have built upto 12km runs as part of the training. Yes it was slow but managed. Actually running on Tough Mudder...
