My best is 23:23. As I said before though, some smartarse at my work has done sub 20 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Lodged my "cycle to work" application today. Tax dodge here I come! Err, I mean, new bike here I come! I've opted for a mountain bike, as I've decided I'm going to attempt an off-road Triathlon next year. I do very little cardio of any sort as I almost exclusively do just weights. I did the parkrun quite a lot last year but the only proper event I've done in my adult life is a 10k a good few years back (and that was before I got fit and stayed fit). I used to be a swimmer though, so hopefully I'm not too rusty. Any advice for my first Triathlon would greatly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Is there any ruleson transitions or resistancesor types of machine?No really other than your time between machines counts to your total. Resistance is up to you. Obviously the lower the resistance the machine will account for that in measuring your distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Almost a month since I've tried this. Went a whole second quicker than last time and done it in 23:06. Rowing 4 min 39 Cycling 8min 34 Running 9 min 53 Absolutely belted it at the running nearer the end and with the cycling too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Been struggling to stay interested the 2/3 weeks, finding it a bit of a slog to get to the gym let alone do anything. Longer hours at work, people over visiting and finding out the missus is up the duff has meant I have had more on than usual and definitely affecting the motivation. Still forcing myself in twice a week but only been doing a quick weights work out and ignoring cardio completely. Really need to get a 3rd session back in and start tagging on a bit of running or cycling again, before it becomes too much of a habit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Time to get the excuses out the way first... I've been signed off of all strenuous physical activity by my doctor since August due to having ridiculously low iron levels that were so low they wouldn't register on a blood test, which explained a lot of things. Got a double dose infusion and was told it would probably be late October before iron levels were back to normal Anyway, gradually been building my fitness back up over the last 4 weeks by doing mainly strength training and light cardio. Decided to give the rower, bike, treadmill challenge a blast today at a steady pace to see where I was at - came in at exactly 31 minutes. A big thank you to @Daydream for unwittingly motivating me. I got the foot down when it was obvious I was going to be similar to his time. Aiming to knock at least 1 minute off per week now I know what sort of pace is required. Some very decent times posted here to aim for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltandPepe Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I've been looking for a forum and space like this. Feel embarrassed to tell people I'm close to how I feel. I have a job in physical activity but the past 2 years I've let my body slip! Put on the weight and endurance is getting poor.I used to run half marathons most weekends, tough muddler, rat races, got to a weight where I was toned but my father said I looked gauntly. I went to the pub and ordered pint of water with lime cordial and my father told me I was becoming a boring b*****d. However, I've went to far the other way. Took a few months off and just never got back into a routine.I go to the gym for a while then stop... My motivation and dedication I used to have has gone. I blame the missus. I was single and free and then settled down and got lazy and fatter!So joined the gym again, plan to do 30/45 mins before work each morning (gym doesn't open early enough to do more) then I've set up a morning rise and shine fitness club at work 8.30am 4 days a week to do circuits, badminton, Joe wicks and a day of choice! Then try and get to gym after work most days whilst missus is still working (car sharing)I don't have a question, just sometimes good to get it off my chest and down somewhere to hold myself accountable. It's now out there in the world 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staggy1929 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have adopted a new grip while benching recently to try and get more out of it rather than just strength alone (wide grip instead of narrow) and I've worked up to 130kg on it so far, so I'm only 10kg off of my overall max which I think is decent, I love trying different things like this and has given me a bit of motivation to train a bit smarter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) So after getting down from 14'11 with 28% bodyfat to 11'7 with 15% bodyfat, I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was FUCKING SICK of cutting and decided I was going to start trying to put on some decent muscle. I've been eating 3,400 calories a day (I'm still running three times a week hence the pretty big surplus) for the past week and a half and have put on precisely nothing Edited October 18, 2019 by Gaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
