Good on you. A hard mile takes some doing.

Sounds like a plan Spitty, why don't we all post our present fastest mile times?
When conditions are good, of course......

I was a fine Darts Player, and often destroyed the competition, but, when the issue of a formal structure was introduced, i.e "Will you join our team", I traditionally stepped back, a Mile in less than ten minutes will suffice, for me anyway,

Sometimes competition brings out the very best of us Spitty....

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

I did a load of short reps before I got to the bottom of a very steep hill. Last week I did 44 secs on the first effort but this week I managed 37 secs! Much stronger this week but might have put some weight on - not sure. Been drinking too much for sure - empty cals.

Good news with the times there, MKJ.
Don't let a bit of extra weight bother you bud. Nothing wrong with the odd tipple!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

I've been unusually lax with my training this week, i.e. nothing since the previous Tuesday! No excuse for it, sometimes I just enjoy a little time off - reading a book, time in the garden etc.
Definitely back to it all this weekend though with a big 3-day programme planned for today, Sat and Sun/or Mon. First post on this will be late Fri pm.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Haven't long come in from a run with my mate - 7 miler. Fair shifting along at times. It seems I'm in better shape than I thought according to said mate. Might be able to break 20 mins for 5km soon. At one time I could have broken 16 mins but a lot of years have passed and a lot of water (alcohol I mean) has passed under the bridge (still passing come to think of it).

A cracking run in good company.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Bad boy again on the booze last night .

Tonight another 6 miles and running very relaxed. Must have shed quite a lot of weight by now. Trained everyday this week and still not tired or feeling worn out. Will start injecting long reps soon as I can cope with them now I think. At this rate I might well have a go at racing before the end of the year.

You do fantastically well MKJ. After a few ales I'd be long dead and a lost cause for a good run. Keep it goin', bud
