updating weekly mileage goal from 60 to 70

 

[Matty]

That's a lot. I do about 100 miles on the bike trainer (5 weekly workouts) and 8-10 miles worth of running over 3 workouts.

I got a Garmin Forerunner watch and a new virtual coach to help me with my 10K training. Did a quick benchmark run yesterday, 5 mins @ 8 mins/mile. First actual workout is tomorrow, looking forward to it. 🏃‍♂️

Coach Jeff is confident in my ability to do a 55:00 on May 8. 👊

Old man workout

Wall pushups one arm/diamond/hammy-calf raises/clapping pushups

100/110/127

Those clapping pushups get me fired up.

Who wants to fight?

 

[Matty]

Only if kicks are allowed. Both my shoulders are effed.

 

[stevek]

Kicks are fine

No nut shots

 

[Matty]

I'm out.

How do you do virtual boxing? I saw a couple of different set-ups, but don't really know how good they are.

The oculus 2 virtual reality headset is $300
The best boxing game is TTOTF

The Thrill of the Fight

That goes for $10. Hell of a workout. Cardio/weight training combination

Highly highly recommend

Old man workout crushage. I'd like to thank White Claw.

100/110/120

Fights on Matty, ball shots are allowed (I'll be wearing a jock strap w a cup butt don't tell him I said that)

Gained most everything back. Was gonna go lax for my Birthday in November, never returned.
Gonna get back on it any day now

you need Coach Jeff

 

[Matty]

Coach Jeff doesn't fuck around

(Intense exercise is no good for weight loss though - Tron will confirm)

 

[Blitty]

You pay jefe or what exactly is that gueys deal?

 

[Matty]

It's just a virtual coaching program that exists within the Garmin Connect ecosystem. I got a cheap Forerunner 45 watch to get my pace while running - I was using my phone up until last week which was a bit of a shitty experience. (Phones don't compensate for arm swing while you're running so you end up seeing two different speeds on the screen.)

You can choose between three coaches - each uses their own method. Jeff Galloway popularized the run-walk-run method which I enjoy. As a bigger guy (for a runner), I find it easier to do shorter more intense intervals broken up by short walking breaks.

Crushed it, the cocaine and speed helped

 

[housepicks]

People leave cocaine just laying everywhere don’t they eggs?

 

[Matty]

They do.

Workouts on track.

3x week 800 cals on treadmill, approx 40mins 3mph @ 25% - dunno if it's actually 800 cals just my measuring stick.
2x week full body weight training and 400 cals on treadmill.

Haven't missed a week yet. Diet has been steady, especially Monday through Thursday. Eat a siggis and 26g of Kashi go lean crunch almond 2x all day and then a normal dinner @ 630 (and even 300 cals of some desert).

Weekends a bit looser on the diet but no alcohol. Think I'm down from my high of 163 to about 155.
