Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
I started running again. I used to run track, made it to state twice for 300m hurdles and 4x4 and my regular 8 mile run took less than an hour. But have only really been powerlifting/skiing/mtb/hiking in my 20s and early 30s. Ran 2.5 miles at an 11 minute pace, 8,000 ft altitude in a relatively flat area. Very disheartening.
I found a chart online that said 22:53 5k is considered "intermediate" for a 35 year old so I'm gonna run two 5ks a week until I hit that. Still trying to lift 2-3 days a week and ski/mtb on weekends. New goals are: 500lb dead, 300lb bench, 23:00 5k. Currently at: 455, 265, 30:00+(?).
