WOW...that's great.

...because tomorrow you'll be tired, and won't be too hard to keep up with...

About an hour into it, when I'm thinking it's about time to get on the treadmill, my trainer comes over and asks if I want to do some speed and agility training with a WC university lacross and basketball player. For some reason I agreed. Holy shitballs.

Yes, my ass is entirely kicked - BUT I'm a 37 year old housewife ffs, and I kept up with a scholarshipped athlete. Doing mirror training stuff (she had to do what I was doing) and she.was.out.of.breath.

Go me.

Absolutely awesome. I find myself to be the breathless one when watching female athletes.

My ankles/calves were sore today.

lumberjim · 09-24-2009, 04:33 PM

I'm sore in new places today. Along the inside of my thighs, and my ass......wait...make that my ass and along the inside of my thighs.

I think the only new thing we did was one legged hip thrusts...

Wow LJ your routine is really paying dividends! You may want to cut back on the soy milk though, mimics estrogen.

lumberjim · 09-25-2009, 12:10 AM

do you like my shoes?

Griff · 09-25-2009, 05:15 AM

Shiney!

I just ran. A little. Really I did. I stretched and walked for 5 minutes increasing my pace to really fast (my usual exercise), then I ran until I was concerned that I shouldn't get any further out of breath (a whopping total of 4 minutes), slowed to a walk until my breath was back to normal (3 minutes) and then ran again (another 4 minutes), then walked home by which time my breathing was normal.

I did not need my inhaler, Although i can still feel in in my lungs. And my knees feel Ok. these and the boob bounce thing have always been my problem with running. I can walk a brisk pace forever, and do a vigorous half hour on the cross trainer before my asthmatic lungs object, but running is like kryptonite. But I want to be skinnier. And my morning walking partner is otherwise engaged today.

The first couple of minutes the bouncing fat in my butt hurt even more than the expected boobs and I thought 'ok nice try, give it up, go back to walking", but then it got easy for the legs. Sadly the lungs don't match the stamina of the legs, but I felt like I could have kept on running if only the lungs could keep up. i think I'll give it another go another day. Unless my knees feel like crap tomorrow.

Interval training like you did makes you burn more fat and increases cardio fitness. I try to mix it up when I'm treadmilling, using 2 or 3 levels of speed for a few minutes each.

monster · 10-06-2009, 03:12 PM

yeah i do that on the cross trainer thingie. but it's too nice to exercise indoors and it won't be for long..... and it's a great place to hang laundry....

monster · 10-12-2009, 09:11 AM

On Thursday I ran again, managed 7 minutes run, 3 rest, 4 run, 3 rest, 1 run and then gave up and walked home -total 12 minutes run -50% increase on Tues.

Then TODAY......

ran 7 rested 3, ran 8 all the way home and had my breath back within a minute.

Seemed my lungs just needed to remember what they were for.

Jury is still out on how this is going to affect my knees, but I've been taking glucosamine and chondroitin for about 10 days, I'm hoping that will help, although it may be too soon to be having a significant effect,

So far so good, though, although I'm not skinny yet, damnit!

monster · 10-29-2009, 11:10 AM

OK so it's been a couple of weeks, but I ran again today and I have been walking with my friend most days in the meanwhile.

Today I ran for 9 minutes first session, but I must have also picked up the pace because I got 1.75 times round the loop that took me 7 minutes to run last time. rested for 3, ran 3 more then walked home. 30 mins altogether. Breathing even less stressed than previously, but the humidity was getting to me on the second run (it was foggy earlier this morning), so I stopped before I needed my inhaler.

By Halloween I'll be able to jump out from behind a twig to scare people!

lumberjim · 10-29-2009, 11:53 AM

GOOD work, monnie...keep it up.

monster · 10-29-2009, 03:43 PM

thanks. I will try. but it's off to the hospital tomorrow, then to deliver my apostrophe-free poster, then the halloween parade at school, then scrip store, then figure skating, then ceramics and somewhere in there I gotta decorate for halloween.... it's a wonder I got fat in the first place running around like that!
