Today was just a cardio day and knocked out a run.

• 7.1 miles in 67 mins with the best mile being 7'17". Maintained a sub 8 min mile for the first 4 miles.

A year ago I was pacing around 7' to 7'15" per mile and besting around 5'40" to 5'55" so goal is to get back to those numbers before summer is over

You're a machine! Those are pretty much my "sprint" numbers!

I was in Galveston Thurs/Fri and then Boliver through the rest of the weekend. I got in a 43 min (4.1 mi) beach run on Friday and another 4 mile run Sunday morning with Colette. The Sunday morning run seemed pretty taxing on me, even at a slower-than-normal pace. As the day wore on, I started to realize I was getting sick. Pretty much everybody on our trip came down with some sort of a virus. I crashed hard on Sunday night (during the 7th inning of the tourney clinching game for the Ags ) and pretty much slept the entire day on Monday. I feel better today. I'm going to see if I feel up to doing a light workout this evening. I haven't done any strength work since Murph last Monday.

Legs and Shoulders done and wrapping up in the sauna currently.

79 mins is my quickest time to 1000 cals in a hot minute

Shoulders, a bit of legs to finish up from yesterday and lastly I hit up arms concentrating mainly on forearms…


question for those on here that are more seasoned and still running… do you have any issues (pain) with your knees? And do you do anything to help mitigate said issues??

I'm 47 started running again last year.. I had some knee pain in the beginning. Mine was from muscle imbalance. There's a program , I believe it's called knees over toes that you can find online.. it shows you how to strengthen your joints..

Thanks I have seen that program and started doing some of the exercises to try and strengthen my knees.

Fortunately, I’ve had very few issues with knee pain. One thing I’ve always done is to not run if I’m over 200 lbs. While it’s somewhat of an arbitrary number, it has always forced me to lose weight via other methods (diet, walking, rucking, lifting, rowing, elliptical, etc.) before I started running. I also typically ease into running, starting with walk/run intervals (75/25) and slowly building up to 100% runs (of a mile or so) and gradually increasing distance.

I also incorporated a lot of the knees over toes methods (backwards walking, ATG split squats, sled push/pulls, tib raises, bent knee calf raises) to strengthen the muscles and tendons needed for running. I still incorporate some version of an ATG inspired movement into each of my strength sessions.

I loved running used to run all the time up until I was about 50. I never really had any issues with my knees. I had a bunch of issues with my feet though. Nothing that a couple of surgeries couldn't fix! LOL! Any thoughts of me taking up running again went out the window when I had a total hip replacement in 2018 at the age of 59. I'll walk on a treadmill or use the elliptical now.

Yesterday was a rest day and today was supposed to be a rest day under this program my wife found, but I'm not fond of their rest day intervals. On top of that, my wife went and hit the gym yesterday (on a rest day) so I think I'm going to go back to my old 5 days and then rest on the weekends. I'll continue to use her sets/reps program, but the rest intervals don't fit my schedule well.

Today was chest and back with 3X6, 3X12 and 3X25 sets/reps. I'm gonna be sore for sure!

Bench press 3X6
Incline DB bench press 3X12
Cable fly 3X25

Bodyweight pull ups 3X6
Bent over BB row supinated grip 3X12
Overhead lat pull 3X25

Probably legs and shoulders tomorrow.

The wife started hurling about midnight, but we can't figure out what made her sick. Slept in today to make sure she was ok. Definitely tomorrow.

[Michael]

Hope she’s feeling better quickly. Sounds similar to what our entire clan experienced over the weekend.

I ran a “Norwegian 4x4” today. At my current level, that simply amounts to running four half mile intervals in 4 minutes each (with 4 min recovery between.)

[150class]

Yesterday was 6+ hours of manual yard work and it kicked my arse lol

today was 3 more hours of yard work but mostly a rest day

[Pedernal]

Chest and triceps done earlier today…

thanks to all that replied to my question about issues with knee pain related to running. I want to start running and will see how it goes… will be trying out all the suggestions and will report on results as I go along.
