training for a marathon... lifting a lot less, running 4 or 5 times per week.

This week's long run was 15 miles, averaged 8:51 miles... and it hurt like hell.

Next week's long run is 16, then 18... then a recoop week (12 miles LR)... then TWENTY miles :shock:

Marathon is November 13th!

swimming swimming and more swimming
walking walking and more walking

haven't lifted weights in a few weeks

found out a great way to swim and hurt like crazy



the ones i use are cubed

i been swimming roughly 2 miles daily, give or take. while swimming laps i grab those floatation dumbell things
and swim. i old them in my hands and go. after the first few laps it hurts like crazy in the arms and shoulders.
after 5 laps it is very painful. i keep going and do 10 or 12 laps that way.

i made up a rule. once i grab the floatation dumbells i can't put them down until 10 laps has been completed.

then i swim another mile or so, combining both exercises throughout my day. sometimes swimming the 2 miles all at once, sometimes doing a morning and afternoon swim. went 4 miles one day.

swimming four miles sounds A LOT more difficult than running 15.

Don't know how many calories I burnt...but the sin and guilt just melted off.

All summer I've been doing 100 pushups and 100 situps every morning. The other week I bought those "Perfect Pushup" things "As seen on TV" and its been working. I'm on this "Get Ripped Workout", and though I am not ripped yet, I like to think I'm getting there.

Just got back in the gym after literally 2 years off. I'm running 3-4 times a week anywhere between 2-5 miles at a time and trying to lift 3 times a week as well. My goal is to drop 15 lbs by my birthday (Nov 28). If I can accomplish that than I'll be good. Once I get into an exercise groove I'm good till summer rolls around again. The warm weather just beckons beer drinking on the patio when I get home everyday!

Tell me about it. Golf=beers=smoking too many butts=not in shape. Its a vicious cycle for me too!

well, my 1st marathon will have to wait. I developed a stress fracture in my 5th metatarsal from too much running about a month ago. I can do the elliptical at the gym now but now running quite yet.

I'm lifting four - five times per week and doing about 15 minutes of abs work most days. I also do some stretching and some (very) basic yoga poses when I'm at work.... probably a total of 15 minutes per day.

Happy with my strength at the gym (benched 225 * 15 the other day... squating 275 * 10 ATG) but need a better balance of endurance and cardiovascular health. So, I'm looking forward to running again.

I'll do a marathon in the spring/summer. With these stress fractures it is important to not run even when it feel okay.... gotta sit it out for another month or two.

I just finally got back into the Shaun T Insanity workout about 2 weeks ago...which consists pretty much of 45 minutes/6 days per week of PURE HELL. But it's actually kind of fun, is over quick, and I normally burn between 800 - 900 calories. After only 2 weeks I feel amazingly better already!

Dig deeper!!!

are you keeping with it??? It is hard over the holidays to stay active...

I took a week off and got back at it yesterday. My weight sessions are still pretty intense... DO NOT just do a set of 8 or 10 reps and then sit there for 2 minutes. What a waste of time! I've been doing lots of double or triple sets of multiple muscle groups, e.g., bench, pull ups, one leg squats. Do that 4 or 5 times with a minute of rest between each, then rotate to something like; dips, rows, box jumps for another 4 or 5 sets. Or, shoulder press/lateral raises/lunges. If you can keep that up for 40 to 50 minutes you're a beast. End with 15 minutes of core/abs work, then feel AMAZING.

that's my routine lately. I'm sure I'll switch it up again soon. I don't like doing the same routine constantly. Oh, and I'm starting to run again next week since I think my fractured foot is okay now.

Happy Friday!!!

swimming my ass off. this is where i am happy, in the drink. been swimming now about 14 months. the best decision i have ever made in regards to exercise. i am positive i burn 800 - 1000 or more calories everyday in the water. so says a few other swimmers who been at it for years and when reading online.

the burning i get in my shoulders, arm, and chest area makes me dig dipper harder faster, the burning blasts from my neck down my sides and into my legs. but mostly shoulder, arms, and chest.

using the buyont dumbells while freestyle swimming...very difficult. i made a rule for myself. no matter how bad it hurts and how tired i may be, if i grab those floater dumbells i must do @ least 10 laps w/ them...usually i will complete the 10 manditory laps and continue on doing one dozen, then 18 then maybe 30.

18 laps being 1/4 a mile. so far i have not ever swam a 1/2 mile using the buoyant dumbells.
after the use of the floating dumbells then i swim the rest of the one or more miles or hours worth losing track of the distance swam...

i am pleased and very hard and dropping weight and gaining back weight in mass muscle. i can't frickin win. stupid scale says no weight lose, stupid pants are to big... :twisted: open water swimming,,,, i am comin for you

30 minutes (2.5 miles) on the tread mill

Cardio Rehab... Feeling great...

Ran 8 miles. Planning on running a half marathon in February.

I have semi-intentions of swimming this afternoon if I get out of the office early enough. But unlike Chadwick, I have a hard time motivating myself to go to the pool. Running is to me what swimming is to him.
