Running barefoot does feel really fluid.
The studies used against them had seasoned runners putting on barefoot shoes and then complaining about the pain after a regular run. No idea if it went more in depth than this."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

I also run with a fore foot strike due to my knee injury. Takes a while to re learn how to run after years of heal striking, but its much more efficient, even if it is a calf killer initially. -
I've got myself a decent program now. Give us a shout when you start gonz and ill give you some advice if you like.

i'm doing couch to 5k, i've never done running, never thought it would be good. Always loved footy though so my overall fitness is ok. Stopped playing a year ago when I moved to Russia so felt like getting a bit more fit. Going ok so far, running with a mate who has a race in 12 weeks so he's on track. I'm just doing it for shits and giggles. Feeling more spritely in general though.He could've just said they came from another planet but seems keen to convince people with his bullshit pseudoscience that he knows stuff. I wouldn't trust him with my lunch. - SG

Indeed, join me on my* mission to do 10k in* 10mins.

I'm do a weekly program of easy, conditioning and speed runs, increasing the difficulty as I progress, mixed in with a weight session and a core stability session in between.

One off, but I'm about. I'll make sure I give you a shout next time I'm up.

2nd Parkrun today. Different course due to the fair being in town. Felt pretty fucked pretty fast - Haven't been running since the last one and didn't eat much yesterday, or drink enough water. Was gasping early.
Finished with a sprint and probably knocked 30 seconds or do off my previous effort.
Intent in getting some tempo and & lsr work done this week. Some strength building bits too. -
Good stuff. Dragged myself out of bed this morning for Park run, had a fair bit to drink after football last night was first mile was poor, picked up after that and managed 20:08. Warm.iosGameCentre:T3hDaddy;

Very good time, D! How much do you train? My main goal at the moment is to go sub-20. Got to try and find a routine to get out and running more consistently.

Going to sound a cunt here, but are you sure it was shin splints, that's a compartment injury which is deadly serious, however running with ankle support or stiff soled boots, means you use that muscle at front of shin, which people don't use very often. In basic training every cunt thought they had shin splints, not calling you a cunt just stating what we've seen. But yeah on the offside I see lots of benefits of barefoot style running, Gabreselassie said that he was mocked for running distance on his forefoot but hey it appeared to work out pretty well for him"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B -

My weekly schedule is approximately thus:
Mon: squash (45min)
Tue: Proper running training eg hills, lactic threshold etc. approx 8-9miles, 3miles effort
Weds: Rest
Thurs: squash
Fri: football (11s or 5s)
Sat: park run (sometimes, maybe 1 in 6)
Sun: long steady, 6-12miles
Sub 40 10k is big aim at the mo too.iosGameCentre:T3hDaddy;

150, fucking hell, double my bodyweight, I need to get back to gym, am well below that
Current 1RM as calculated by Jefit, though it does this on benchmark exercises which aren't necessarily the ones I do regularly, was often concentrating on dumbbells and kettles, to try to keep good form and strengthen weaker side, I'm quite imbalanced

Send messageKind of a mix between SS, Easy Strength and 5/3/1. I go up each week if I can, and have a main lift for the day (3 days). I'll alternate between OHP and BP on Wednesdays, and do the other for volume on Monday. Monday and Friday are squat and deadlift. I have my heavy sets, 3x5 or 2x3 for DL, then I go for volume at 75% of max, 5x5. Then one other assistance thing like pullovers or rows. 50 chins a session, weighted ones are aggravating tendons in my right forearm so giving those a rest for now.
soooolike
Monday
Squat 3sx5r, 5x5 @75% 1RM
OHP or BP 5x5 @75%
Chins x 50
Wednesday
OHP or BP 3x5, 5x5 @75%
Batwings 3x10 or Dumbbell pullovers 2x10
Chins x 50
Friday
Deadlift 2x3, 5x3 @75%
Rows 3x10
Chins x 50
Farmer's Walks x2 laps
Sometimes I throw in a bunch of cable row dropsets if I'm feeling chipper.
That's it, more or less. I'll be on for a few months, then refresh with Easy Strength for a month or 6 weeks.Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.

Send messageI do a fair bit of stretching and rolling, a little ab work, plus gentle quad raises for me knees, so closer to an hour. Plus there's chatting.Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.

I'm considering switching from full body to an upper/lower split, squatting or deadlifting heavy every session is getting a bit much for me. Especially at my age.
Something like:
Upper-
Press
chins
bench
Row variation
Lower-
Squat or deadlift
Romanian deadlift or front squat
calves
Not sure about ohp and bench in the same session though. -

Send messageYou mean me? I don't OHP and BP in the same session, I alternate, EEEGEE last Wednesday:
BP 90kg 3x5
BP 75kg 5x5
Tricep extension 40kg 2x10
Chins x 50
Fucking around for a bit.
If you didn't mean me, well.
When you start to approach your limits, I think a split is entirely sensible. It just takes too long to recover.Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.
