I ran 21 minutes straight on Tuesday at level 9.3.
That is why I increased the level to 10.5 so I can be pushed more.
I probably could've done 13-14 mins but thought I'd settle at 12 mins for now.

When I joined the gym about 5 weeks ago I couldn't run 10 mins at a lower level, my cardio has improved so much I am rapt!

Wow! Impressive!!

Yeah my cardio sucks.......hopefully jumping rope/jogs will help that.

I am nowhere near my brother in law when he was at his best...
45 minutes on level 10.5.

If you want to improve jump on the treadmill and aim at PB's.
I aimed for 12mins, then 13, then 14 etc until I got to where I am.

Plus bike is good, but nothing beats a jog.

apply the fartlek method when you go for a run or when you go for a run replace one with a set of sprints instead

In all seriousness, I've been thinking about starting to exercise in readiness for the tour......I need to wear pants in the pit....I never wear pants.....I have a phobia of wearing pants....I've already lost a few kilos in the last month....another 5 - 6 would be nice....get down to about 52kgs or so.....

Hmmm....what's the best exercise to just strip fat off....really quickly....?

60 minutes of laps. Felt great to workout again.

Going to run the next 2 days and then off the Florida with the family.

ZiggyStar

Damn jumping rope hurts my calves!!

I'm taking the doggies to the beach today...hopefully the tide is out and we can go for a good stroll!

Ran 6 miles, in my running shoes and it sucked.

my Vibram's have developed a small rip so I have sent them back for an exchange, happy they stand behind the product.

the replacements can't get here fast enough.

Ziggy, yes, jumping rope with work the calves.

Its hard to get a good run in anymore with the shorter days.. I miss living in the city. I'm in the burbs now and can't jog more than a block or two before I can't see my own feet.

It's too dark. I live right near a forest preserve.. its awesome in the day with all of the trails, but its dark by 5 now and I can't even see my feet or tell what I'm running on or about to run into. :?

I_GOT_no_IDea

i think i hurt my brain :crazy:
i went to the gym last night, and was starting my workout with chinups then bench presses. all was going okay until i did 1 set of 8 presses on 100kg (more than i've ever done) and as soon as i'd finished that set, i got this incredibly intense headache which i've still got today (the morning after). i eventually gave up on the workout after about 25mins, and don't know whether it was just dehydration (i drink shitloads of water though) or a strain kind of injury or if i've popped a blood vessel in my head? anyone else ever had this happen so suddenly and linger so long?

Given to...

Whenever I try heavier than normal loads I always concentrate on NOT clenching my teeth and MAKING SURE to BREATHE OUT ON EXERTION. I have given myself headaches like you mention but never can remember what I did to bring them on :oops:

Just make sure to see your doctor if you have an erection that last for more than 4 hours.

Oh sorry, wrong commercial.
