September Fitness

[Pippedydeadeye]

I did! I think this might be the same one.

[Estrella]

Hope it’s good fun regardless of it’s a repeat for you or not.

I had a short lunchtime walk unplanned as my garage door jammed and I couldn’t get my car out so we walked to lunch locally instead. Then I did glutes and hamstrings after work.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’ve done workout 2 this morning. It feels familiar but different, so who knows. :))

[Wiggle]

First class completed after my comp. My legs are still feeling a bit heavy but managed some good deadlifts and think I repeated my one rep max (105kg). Running was included in the workout (just 200m) and actually felt quite good doing it.

[Cerise]

I ran for 30 minutes for the first time in my life!

[Wiggle]

Excellent work Cerise!

[Duophonic]

Congratulations Cerise. I still count running specifically C25K as one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.

I had my final big'ish session before the Half on Sunday.

2km warmup
2km tempo 5:00/5:15 km pace
4 x 1km threshold - anything faster than 5:00 km pace
2km cool down

My pacing is getting so much better and was pretty consistent

[Texaco Shirley]

Well done Cerise!!

I had a go at running this morning for the first time since this bout of covid. On the plus side my chest was fine but my legs were so heavy! I cut it short at just over 3k.

[Topcat]

Nice one Tex, its good that your chest is in good nick. And well done Duo! That must be so difficult with all of those ups and downs in pace.

I did another three and a half easy miles last night but it was great to be out again. I am due to go again tonight too but I might give it a miss, I shall see.

[Topcat]

I stuck four miles in the bag tonight. It was really hard going to start with, but then it was my third night a row. Finished strongly though and even with a cacked up timing, this was my strongest run of the week so I am very pleased with myself at the moment.

Much further to go though.

Will rest up tomorrow before starting again on Friday.

[Estrella]

Excellent work Cerise :bel:

It’s good to listen to your body, Tex.

I did full body today. In 97% humidity/a storm. It was sticky.

[Texaco Shirley]

Are you back in training for another ultra already TC? :))

[Topcat]

Haha! Nooooo!

Current goal is to shift two stone of excess beer belly, once I have done that (it shouldn't take long) then I will have a think....

[mojojojo]

Well done Cerise, that’s brilliant!

I’ve not done much this week after finding a 10k really tiring on Sunday. I did have an hour of badminton practice today though.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I wasn’t expecting to feel ok for Pilates, but I did so that’s where I went tonight. It was a gentle class thankfully. J had a diffuser going with essential oils which was nice.

[Topcat]

Hill reps tonight but I had quite a big hypo on my way there from the office so I took it dead easy. Still, its another couple of miles in the bank and I should be in a good place to go tomorrow morning.

[Texaco Shirley]

Very slow Parkrun done but I was just glad to get round. I made a definite decision to walk up the hills before I started but actually I didn’t really have a choice when it came to it.

[Topcat]

Just under ten and a half miles on the trail this morning which was really lovely. It's such a great place to be.

That said, I'm looking forward to resting up tomorrow.

[Estrella]

That’s hardcore, Alan. Enjoy the rest!

I wrapped up September with an easy upper body session.
