Goosey - my hammy is ****ed lol that’s why I’m contemplating not doing it

I've had problems with my hamstrings in the past, everyone's different so could be a number of things, but for me strengthening my glutes and adductors really helped. My glutes wouldn't fire when they should've leaving my strings to do the work.

Any sort of hip strengthening and mobility is going to help with running, especially for footy like Bonz mentioned earlier a lot of the running is predominately sprinting or shorter intervals.

Festive period= rich food and often more sedentary habits.
Any little tips for quick activities to do over the period to help fight the bloat?

If you're looking for something quick maybe those 10-30 min HIIT videos on youtube?

I don’t know I think maybe next year.

I heard VFLW have made a rule where they need to bring in more under 21s (I think) so I have a chance

I ran a marathon today.
I am not in marathon shape and it was 33 degrees here . Was very tough.
The first 17km were fine. The last 25km a punish.
Importantly kept my marathon streak alive. I set a goal in 2015 to run at least 1 marathon a year until 2029 (the year I turn 50 and complete the 6 world majors), left it late this year.

Don't do a marathon without doing the work

I’ve actually found the best form advice when it comes to single arm dumbbell bent over rows that has made my lats SO SORE today.

Instead of rowing it up and down, aim to bring the weight to your back pocket, fully extend your shoulder forward and then pull the weight to your back pocket.

Anyone a cyclist, specifically indoor cycle with zwift?

I hoped back on zwift having a year off it and it’s so addicting.

Im 8 days back into proper training after phoning it in and drinking beer for the best part of 2 years and putting on about 15kgs (which will come off quick) with the Chicago marathon in October being the main goal. Im in the wow, this hurts phase at the moment, I reckon that is comfortably the hardest part.
Will be punching out 30kms a week for the next 6 weeks before moving up to 50km (a 6 week transition) by then Im hoping it will be easy again and I can start doing a stack of events leading into Chicago.
