I've started playing rugby league this summer to make a change from Union. Preseason for union started yesterday but I'm taking a break from it to make the most of my progress in the gym, hit 200kg for 12 reps on axle deadlifts and 100kg for 10 on incline bench yesterday

Not been to the gym much for a couple of weeks due to holidays and had a bit of plantar fasciitis after rugby at the weekend so hit the ground running to get back into it

140kg per hand farmers carry for 15m

Not a weights person myself but that sounds impressive 🙂. Nice one! And I hope your plantar fasciitis is healed. That's a horrible thing that can take ages 🙁

I broke my new running trainers in on Wednesday evening with a 1.33km run to my local Micropub. Clocked up 1.66km on the way home including shopping. Gentle steps and all that. 

[Kupar 13,341]

I restarted my running this morning - the first time since 4 June! It was warm, so it was just a gentle run / walk / run set of intervals (1mi / 0.1) with running at a leisurely 8:30 / mile. But I am really glad I got out as I have a half marathon in early September so I really need to get back to regular training. I am sure my quads will feel it in the morning. 

(I did have a sneaky mid-run wee through my shorts as well, which was fun ... https://peefans.com/topic/18439-kupars-peeing-exploits/?do=findComment&comment=328775)

Leisurely?? That's a decent pace for me lol

I can’t remember the last time I posted here… mainly because I can’t remember the last time I did any exercise worthy of it. 

Just for novelty sake, I’ve just found a nice quiet circular bit of tarmac to do a couple of laps on. Three to be precise.  Lovely and smooth apart from the gravel traps, with Armco barriers and tyre walls. A couple of very small gradients too just for fun.

(Should mention I’m not a runner in any sense - but quite enjoy time on two wheels)

This is wonderful!

[harry_jones_1975 604]

Awesome fun.

Training has gone south this week which is annoying, only 6 weeks to go to my half marathon and I'm not into double figures yet 🙁

I know it is hard but try to keep motivated! You can do it! 

[Sophie 24,413]

I went for a little bike ride today around my friends farm with her daughter and my two daughters. We did about 10 miles at a leisurely pace and it was actually really enjoyable, just rolling along and talking about everything from sweets to our favourite colour of tractor and everything in-between! 

[harry_jones_1975 604]

118 Days since my last run. 26 Days until I do a 10k run. I might have to start running in very hot weather or will never get any training in. 

[harry_jones_1975 604]

Boom. I am back. 5k in 27 minutes 12 seconds this evening. It was very hot and I have never been so breathless or sweaty after a run. Christened my new running shoes. 

[Kupar 13,341]

First 10k training run in a long time this morning, before the temperatures become difficult. It is a very pleasant 16C with cloud cover right now ... forecast to be 31C and sunny this afternoon.

Like a lot of us regulars on here I have been struggling with training this summer for one reason or another. But I was pleased with a time of 51:55. But only three and a half weeks to go to the half 😟

Thanks to @Sophie, @harry_jones_1975, @LovesToWet, @James_erased, @gldenwetgoose, @amack and all the other PF Sports Club regulars and runners for keeping me company in my head this morning - especially on the last mile up what is laughingly described as a 'hill'.

And thanks to @Eliminature - I kept picturing her latest post as I ran, and that was a welcome distraction from worrying about poor form and disintegrating rhythm. But it's just as well running directs blood to running muscles because I was only wearing a pair of short running tights and a boner would have been very obvious indeed 😉  

[LovesToWet 3,803]

Well done @Kupar for getting out and I like your way of distracting yourself, it's good to know we all came to mind to help you. And I know how you feel, I try not to get hard while I'm out too, but its difficult not not when your mind keeps wondering on how nice it would be to have a little accident or you think of some lovely sexy photos on here of some very sexy people (too many to mention) 

It's not always about the time and PBs, just getting out in the first place is good. I'm just hope I'll be ready for my half.

Thank you for your support @Sophie, I'm sure I'll be OK on the day

That’s a very respectable 10k time, especially if you’ve not been able to get all that much training in of late! Good work. 
 

I recently managed to get my parkrun (5k) PB time down to 23:40, so am hoping to continue getting that down throughout the year. I was also recently successful in my ballot application for the London Landmarks half marathon in April, so I’m looking forward to that!

Ps. My gratitude for drawing my attention to @Eliminature’s latest post - I think it’s safe to say that very much brightened a working from home Wednesday morning! 😉

Excellent!

And thanks. My 10K PB is around 44min - but that was 2 or 3 years ago when I was in much better shape than I am now. I fear I'll never get that fast again. Good luck getting prepped for the London Landmarks half!

[LovesToWet 3,803]

My PB for 10k is 51:53 so I'd be very happy with @Kupar time and I would be very happy with a sub 24min for 5k like @James_erased. I can't complain too much though, I only started running last year so I'm happy with my times so far

[mickymoist 3,515]

I can't match the impressive feats here but reading has inspired me to start getting into a bit better shape. Since I finished work I became even more sedentary than before, so many things to watch snd games to play 😁🤦🏻‍♂️

So for the last few months I've been at the gym twice a week working on getting some strength back and doing a fast (ish) 4.5 mile walk two or three times a week. My knees won't take running and I don't own a bike (yet)

Excellent @mickymoist! It's good to do something - you'll feel better about yourself and be fitter too. What's not to like? As our American friends might once have said: 'way to go!'

[harry_jones_1975 604]

A hill @Kupar? In these parts? Lol.

When it comes to sports I am up for pool, snooker, or darts.

Anything more energetic is too much like hard work for my liking.

Yep that’s about my speed too! 

[harry_jones_1975 604]

11.52k in 1 hour 13 minutes 19 seconds. It's already 21 degrees at 9am and the sun was relentless. Since April my only other run was a 5k on Monday so content with that. 

21 Days until my official 10k run which is at 4pm in the afternoon. If the hot weather keeps up everyone will be drinking so much water that it could turn into a massive peefest. 

[LovesToWet 3,803]

My 1st double digit run today, very happy with it too
