    Melbourne Marathon

    6 weeks to start running seems too short since the race is 42km's. By May I'll be running 12km's in over an hour which is jus over a quarter of the race. My mate says he never ran more than 30k's during training but should be able to run at least 30k's. It takes me 12 weeks to work upto 12k's...

    Melbourne Marathon

    Lol, didn't know about the Serena one. 5k run, surely not hard for a world class athlete?

    Melbourne Marathon

    Just finish. I don't enjoy long distance running at all. I enjoy sprint work etc but plodding along at one pace bores me. The mental slog will be the major challenge.

    Melbourne Marathon

    103kg and could not job 10km at the moment. I'm doing another Tough Mudder in May and in the past I have been able to jog 12km's by the time the event came around, so am looking at replicating that. I figure that would be a good base to start with. I am guessing though I am going to need to...

    The important fitness trick you are not doing

    I started a sprint routine which I love. I have music blasting in my ear and don't have a watch to time rest periods etc. I use a 100m footy field. Sprint 10 jog 90, sprint 20 jog 80, 30/70, 40/60 etc upto 100 then back down the ladder again, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30 until I'm back to 10/90.

    Jack of all trades (Program)

    I just completed my 3rd Tough Mudder and had a ball doing it and have decided (hopefully) that I can stay Tough Mudder fit majority of the time. In the past I have trained up for TM only to get back into strength training and well I struggle to get back into running and fitness again. Prior to...

    Wanna lose fat quick whilst maintaining muscles? Give this a go...

    So finally at a stage of giving this a crack. Final question for those experienced in this stuff. Would this program be best as an addition to a regular weights program or this would be used solely as the weights program? Hope I'm making sense. Apologies.

    Scientists have discovered why running makes you happy

    What I really hate is being overtaken by someone who looks like they've never worked out before and I think they're thinking how unfit I am. Sprints, HIIT, Bas Rutten workouts I am much more suited to and enjoy.

    Scientists have discovered why running makes you happy

    Over the last 10 weeks I've trained to be able to run 12km and not once have I ever felt this runners high that people speak of. I hated it, all I got was burning legs and numb toes. I've always been terrible at running though and I don't see too many 100kg+ people running out there.

    Hi Fadi. Revisiting this once again. I attempted this at the start of the year but my shoulder was stuffed. What are the exercises you did after you completed 5 sets of the above? Cheers

    strength and fitness for someone who isn't a narcissist or sissy little bitch

    Has anyone done the Tough Mudder?

    Doing my 3rd TM in September. I'm far from being athletically gifted and the running was the hardest for me. Running in general just sucks and have never been good at it. Currently I do 2 strength workouts and a complete full body body weight routine. 2 long distance runs and 1 all terrain run...

    Price my gym

    Thanks for the info guys. Yeah not in a hurry to sell, currently have a gym at work that I use first thing in the morning and have been only able to to use this at night once kids are asleep. The banging and clanging and dropping of weights hasn't helped them sleep too well ;-) But yeah, will...

    The PB Thread

    105 X 5 Bench last night. Last rep on the last set was a struggle. Question is, what to do when I don't have a spotter as I workout at home?

    tough mudder

    Anyone signing up this year? The south east QLD one is only around the corner from my house. The Sunshine Coast one was very flat throughout the whole course whereas this course will offer alot of hills. Thinkin I'm going after my 3rd headband.
