    Running shoes

    Wound up doing 10km. Cut 42 seconds off my pb per-km pace. 7 minutes off my 10km pb time. Interesting thing about the Saucony ones I tried - as I walked and my foot rolled forward, there seemed to be no support under the toes and it was like falling off a cliff from the ball of my foot onward...

    Running shoes

    Wound up going to Athletes Foot today and picked up a pair of Brooks Glycerin 18s on sale. Tried on a few different shoes and they fitted and felt the best. I'll see how they go after 15km soon.

    Intermittent fasting

    One thing to be aware of if you suffer or have suffered depression: coming off ketosis from a longer fast and having a greater than normal amount of carbs can provoke a depressive episode lasting a day or two. That bit me a couple of weeks ago after a 48-hour fast. "ketosis optimises the...

    7.1kg for the month, surprised me due to the whole Christmas thing. I was also busy after New Year and had a nine day break from walking plus a lot of cafe food. A tad over 200km total for the month, but that includes upping the pace to interval sprint/run/jog/****me in the last 3.5km of each...

    Running shoes

    I think I need some new shoes. That's about 700km hard walking. I had a look at the running thread on lifestyle board and it freaked me out. Up until now I've bought shoes on the basis that I'll try them on in store and if they seem to fit OK and I can walk around in them I'll spend the $100 or...

    Intermittent fasting

    Still sticking with OMAD. Breakfast is three fish oil tablets, three teaspoons of coconut oil, half a glass of water with a good slug of ACV, a few spoons of Greek yoghurt, some macadamias, a small assortment of berries, and half an avo. I eat breakfast while I'm cooking dinner...

    5.5kg for the month. Standardised on a 14.5km walk that takes 2h10ish. Best pace 12.1km at 9:15/km. 253km for the month. A little disappointed that I haven't lost more, but due to weather (heat, not rain), covid jab etc I've had nine rest days this month plus all the Christmas carbs in the last...

    Strength Interesting/Irritating people/things that annoy you in the gym III

    Incline leg press shits me to tears, you get bandy-legged shortarse Eastern Mediterraneans surrounded by their mirin' crew "leg pressing" 350kg barely moving their knees and "pressing" about 6 inches. WORK DONE = FORCE TIMES DISTANCE you ****s, look at me ****ing sideways and smirk as I turn a...

    Strength Weight Training: Anything and Everything II

    Nah. If it was straight across to another roof at the same height, yes, degree of difficulty applies. That was just bog standard parkour. I know this from years of experience watching youtube.

    8.8kg for the month. Could have been more but it's a hot day and I've been putting a lot of water away. Gut measurement -8cm. I've gone up a belt notch and should really take it in another. Both pairs of trackies (drawstring tied years ago) fail to stay up with anything in the pockets, or if I...

    Intermittent fasting

    And I've finally caught up in the thread! I've been spending some time over the last few days watching youtubes on IF and the processes your body goes through. My own accidental shift towards LC and 2MAD has now become a definite LCHF and OMAD decision. My goals at this stage are weight loss...

    Intermittent fasting

    ^^^ this ^^^ Over the last few years I have rarely slept through the night. In the last month after diet change and skipped dinners (=longer fasts) it has improved. Wednesday night and last night, the first two 24-hour fasts, I slept like a log for 6 hours and woke up fully refreshed and ready...

    Intermittent fasting

    Found out about IF a couple of days ago, just did 24 hours and I'm still here. Will go back and read the thread. Don't be surprised if there's some necroreplies come up.
