LOL Now I got to do that all in one shot in December. All 26.2 miles of it. My goal is 3:45:00 but we'll see how it goes. I didn't run much last year, got lazy. During the holidays me and my wife decided to run a little 10K for fun. It took me all my change to run it under 60 minutes. (PR @ 47min)

So I got all piss and sign up for the Rock N Roll 1/2M in St-Petersburg, FL with 6 weeks to get ready! Almost PR it at 1:47:00.

Now I need to get back in shape and trim down to 160-165 lbs @ 11% bodyfat or so. 176 now at 16.7%. Still not too bad for being 41 YO. LOL:canada:

Went back to the gym today for the first time after my rib injury. Was a little sore & didn't go balls out but still had a good "first back" session. I haven't missed 9/10 days in a LONG time.

Great to hear you in the gym.... As you know, that pain will disappear in a couple weeks & you will WANT the pain...


I don't know how much working out adds to your life but I know one thing, I sure feel better about myself after a good work-out.

Living a healthy lifestyle is rewarding in the present apart from adding years to your life.

Cardio

This is about the extent of my Cardio Workout's


While I mainly train for strength, I do set some time aside for Cardio. I walk a mile or 2 daily around the neighborhood & once a week I train on the exercise bike. I set it on Auto, which due to my intensity makes the bike go into between level 8-10 at about 100 RPM's a minute which equates to around 600 Calories per hour. While there are other cardio routines out there this is what works for me. While on the bike, I like to look at the other chicks working out(when they are there). Also, I train on the bike in the morning, on an empty stomach providing for maximum calorie burn. To hit the 600 calorie per hour mark you will have to pedal hard, with a lot of resistance & a high RPM and at around 75-80% of your heart rate potential to really be able to hit that 600 calorie mark. While this intense hour of cardio isn't much in the big scheme of things, while training for strength it is recommended to at least set some time aside for cardio if nothing else, to keep your heart strong & allow the cardiovascular system to strengthen. However, too much cardio will erode your muscle gains so pick a program that's right for you keeping in mind whether you are training for muscle strength gains or weight loss.

I wonder if a cardio day can count as a rest day :confused:

All depend what you are training for. For me, gym day is a rest day! LOL easy 3M run schedule tonight... Since the gym is a bit over a mile away, I'll run to the gym and do some x-training then run back home. 1 mile run is just perfect for a gym warm up...

Starting week 3 today. 3,7,3 and 13 miles run for this week. Gym Monday and speed run on Wednesday.
