The Keep Fit & Workout Thread

It'll depend on how far you ran and the gap between runs. You may still have had some muscle fatigue from the first run.

I've only done 5 mile this week but am planning on doing 8 tomorrow morning. I had sore feet for a few days after the Leeds Half last week.

I run between 3.5 - 4 mile each time.I have found in the past that if i dont go for say 2weeks or more the first jog back is always easier than the second.It's seems strange but like you say it must be muscle fatigue.

Have to say that i'm feeling better within myself already & thats after only 2 runs.

It's good in so many ways. It helps you release frustration or tension if you've had a bad day. It tires you so if you are having trouble sleeping it can help. It helps with the fitness, releases endorphins etc. It's just generally a really good habit to get into, a nice long term activity.

I hear that bud- Ive been jogging since 2000 on average 3 times a week, however over the last 18 months Ive not kept to this routine. Some weeks Id get to the Gym twice a week and then go for a run on Sat Morning (went out this morning and did 5 miles). My work is stressful and involves long hours and travel- I'm over and back between Ireland & UK a few times a month, -
Im 31 but still like going out at weekends( a lot!!) so its hard to find a balance.
Any advice?

I think it's about time to lose a bit of weight. I'm not one for all this exercise stuff though and as i'm on my feet all day at work and moving around, I get quite a lot of exercise. I think all I need to do is cutting out the crap. Chocolate, crisps, fizzy drinks. I just need to get a bit of backbone and make the change.

I played babminton tonight and I'm fooked

Tis a start- I cut back on the Booze, Fires, crisps etc a couple of years ago
When you eat healthier its easier to jog/ go the Gym IMHO

I had that once before mate but apparently the cause was football training on astroturf.

It did seem to go once we stopped training on there.

**Branners** · 23rd May 2009

I play 5-a-side football every other Thursday, which absolutely kills me!!!!! And I also Wii-fit it!!!
I wish this was my household

Looks like I'm pretty much over my injuries now. Did my 7.5 miler tonight in the fastest time I've done it this year. Still a three minutes off my best but a good 2 mins quicker than I've managed since I did my calf.

**George** · 28th May 2009

I've been tentatively looking at joining a gym but the fees seem very expensive.

Playing squash with our kid for 50mins gets you sweating as well. It's a different kind of exercise to just running along, good for the agility etc and bursts of activity.

**haze** · 5th June 2009

i've just recently joined a local gym. well i say I..what i mean is the wife just joined us up to a local gym

never been a fan of gyms and have always been about right weightwise for my height and age.

i do a fair amount of cycling, like malgosno, to work. the 12 mile round trip is no longer the gasping, wheezing, sweaty nightmare it was and it's a great way to start the day imo.

actually visited the gym yesterday on my lunchbreak and got a full workout in. made me feel pretty awesome all afternoon!

lovin it at the moment...

**George** · 8th June 2009

Just booked another babminton court for tonight so should be another sweatathon

.

**malgossno1** · 8th June 2009

i really need to start doing some sort of exercise now, since i stopped smoking about 2 months ago i have managed to gain 1 stone in wait and i am in need of some new work trousers

i must admit i have never had a belly before and im getting pead off with it but i cant be botherd to do sit ups, is there anything else i could do

**Danril** · 10th June 2009

Eat less, exercise more fella! It's the only way!

My new bike tyres arrived yesterday so I'll put them on the bike tonight if it holds off from raining. Not been for a run since last Wednesday now, so need to go for one soon so I keep in the habit. The poor weather has affected it though and with me not having another race sorted until September I've possibly lost a bit of motivation. I also keep sleeping funny and getting a crick in my neck, done it again today when I've woken up!

**haze** · 10th June 2009

off to the gym in about 20 mins

had a session with a personal trainer on monday and he damn near tried to kill me!

just uploading some new stuff to the ipod in preperation of today's slog....
