Internal battle at the mo as to whether I go for a run or not. I’m totally in holiday mode, enjoying eating and drinking and cba.
I have been for a leisurely 7km paddle today (with big carby lunch in the middle) though.
Wine is looking really tempting at the mo, as having a lovely week with Mrs GB so far.
Scales of destiny are starting to reveal the truth though!
Have a 35km hilly race on the 10/10 that I’m totally going to suck at!
I always try and keep things in check - so if have a boozy dinner I simply go for a fasted run the following day. Can enjoy both then ( rarely eat lunch ) so the more I eat the night before, the more there’s in the tank, the further I run - it all works out quite well
30 minute spin class before work.
Lunch, 2x2k hard on the treadmill.
So I forced myself out.
1km WU, 3 x 1km on, 1km off
1 uphill (3.27), 1 half and half (3.17), 1 downhill (3.12). Recovery kms were all sub 4/km as well (
Dinner pretty much ready to come back up
Earned!
Hills hills hills, looking for a good time
11 mile run, hilly ( few reps around art school + Gibson street up by the university/ Gardner street etc - always feel properly tonked by the end )
2 x 1 hour static bikes.
2 mins rest in between.
2 nd hour was a 2021 pb ( av hr 162?!)
1 hours easy core and stretch.
A better day.
5*1K on the dreadmill, increasing speed but ~5K pace
30 minute spin class this morning.
After work, 4k uphill and hard on the treadmill.
Great start to the day!
First time with 100 prowler pushes with 20 kg ( 104 to be precise ) in an hour.
Last two were both in the 90”s.
That’s over a km.
Don’t think I’ll be running very fast this afternoon !!
Planning an 18 miler today along the Clyde walkway, run from town to Blantyre to gfriend who’s at her mums for tea. A little adventure
Looks like something dwayne the rock johnson would do 🏋️♂️ … is that what people do in gyms these days? Used to just be a sort of weights machine with lots of appendages hanging off it like something from hellraiser and not much else
Most of them seem to lift weights and look at there multitude of tattoos … and that’s just the women.
Training for a fitness comp early next year, then back to tri.
Prowler is one of the events, getting used to it now.
30min Treadmill HR 129
30min Row HR 145
6 x 12 squat
6 x 8 pushup
6 x 4 pullup
18 mile run - Glasgow to Blantyre along the Clyde walkway in 2hrs 45 mins.
First 10 pan flat tarmac, wired and anxious on monster energy drink. Second half nicer but dehydrated lol
Can’t say I enjoyed it enormously
30 minute spin class this morning.
Lunch, 5k row and bridges.
Another fine display of pacing from me today at Parkrun - 3:30 was my opening gambit. a bit cooler today, cloudy with spots of rain in the air. Didn’t suffer the same detonation as last week so that’s a plus. I reckon 18:58 today. No doubt the time keeper will have me as 19:00
Nell McAndrew spotted in the start area. She’s still got it
Same here, wasn’t feeling it but thought I’d have a crack at a fast start & see
3.36
3.36…
Wait, is this the self destruct button?
BOOM
…4.08…
Lucky to bring it home sub 20
When I did London Marathon, maybe 2014 I didn’t realise immediately but I basically followed her over the finish line and was the usual sweaty mess. I then heard a shout from a few paparazzi types shouting for me to f*** off out of their photo and asking her for a pose
