BishyTON Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 1 hour run for me this morning at 4 min 11 secs per km. Total of 14.36km covered - pretty pleased with that in blustery conditions. Longest run in a few months as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Does anyone have any decent gym/run plans to follow?? Need to get back into the gym more as I'm constantly running. Any help would be great. Cardio weights, core work and cardio is the basis of my gym work. Here is a sample circa 40 mins workout that I do and is easily adaptable. It is all about constantly moving to keep your heart rate up. :- 10 mins treadmill - varying speeds between race pace and sprinting 30 seated bench - 39kg 40 bicycles (with 3 second hold) - killer! 40 momentum situps 30 two armed bicep curls (10kg each arm) 20 side bicep curls (10kg each arm) 30 free weight shoulder press (9kg each arm) 15 crucifixes (5kg each arm) 70 bench press (20kg bar) 20 leg elevations (sorta like situps, but with your legs being elevated to 90 degrees and then dropped to just above ground) 2 mins rope pull 300m rower challenge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBlue62 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I hate doing this but I have put a link in my signature for sponsorship for the Edinburgh Marathon in May. I'm raising money for Cash for Kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 How does someone run at that pace for that long! It's ridiculous. Exactly the same thing I was thinking! I've only been out running twice this month. Will pick it up again in the New year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 You'll be stone dead last in your next race if you don't. Threats are one way to get motivated! I've not been running in over a month, and have the marathon mountain looming next year. But my knee is shagged, apparently cos of my flat feet. Still, once I get my specialist running shoes, there'll be no stopping me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I've not been out since my half marathon at the beginning of October. Really need to get my arse in gear. Had to give my foot a bit of rest as it was killing me for a few weeks after the race, had a few weeks of long shifts due to covering for other folk who were off on holiday and off ill, and have spent the last fortnight loaded with a cold, which is only just clearing. Off on Holiday on Saturday for 2 weeks. Will get stuck in when I get back, but it'll mean having to finally conquer my hatred of the treadmill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neefie Noodle Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 on Thursday did 10 laps of 320m all between 66 and 71 secs. All with 90 secs recovery between efforts. Little bit of training before hitting the training hard in Jan. Got 5 weeks to get ready for my 1st X-C race in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 It was like running through treacle this morning! Can't believe anyone would try a training run in that wind lol. Was bad enough at Pollok Park on Saturday for me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
