Born Hunter 17,787 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I’m hearing gyms might be allowed to reopen on 4th July... Got mixed feelings about it because I’ve come to enjoy training on the backyard in the sun. Also, if one good thing has come from all this, other than my tan, it’s that I got tagged in one of those 5k things and it’s got me running now for pretty much the last 6 weeks! I’m not fast or out to run a marathon but I don’t hate it. Ha 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,809 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Went for a ride on my dad's clapped out Scott hybrid and felt much better than my carbon Cube, gotta be the tyres that didn't suit the tarmac. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said, not fast at all. I alternate 5k with 5mi when I sort of feel like it. Never done any dedicated cardio before, whenever I’ve tried I’ve picked up injuries and just hated every minute. It’s always bugged me though because I wanted a more balanced fitness regime, but equally I want to enjoy it. Anyway for some reason, I actually quite enjoy it now. I just wanna get out in the sun and tick over, fight that urge to quit and feel stronger for it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tried swimming sporadically but I seem to be very good at sinking so thats also short lived! Haha. For some reason now Im into my thirties I feel much ‘healthier’. That said I ‘poped’ a tendon in my forearm doing front levers with shitty form months ago and that’s only just recovered. Made me feel old! Ha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't do weights any more, will hopefully get more cardio in this summer , I left weights behind after a few injuries in shoulder and final straw was 5x5 going back too heavy after a 3 week break, couldn't sit on the bog without pain relief lol. Low impact for me here on out....in my 40s ... The whole point of a full body routine like 5x5 is going quite light when first starting, it's nigh on impossible though to not ego lift.
