Fitness Challenge!

Hell on the Humber, 12 hr night run completed, not too many aches, Big Woody Ironman this weekend, Vitruvian Half Iron next week-end, then it's settle down to off peak /winter training.

When you think that the knee is better, stay with the swimming for another month.

I have really bad knees these days from resuming strenuous activities too soon after doing damage.

I also get secondary aches from favouring the painful joint.

I can cycle, use the trampoline or swim no problem, but I doubt I'll ever run just for the Hell of it ever again.

. . . I doubt I'll ever run just for the Hell of it ever again.

Anne the Pleater :ootd:

You're very wise, Anne. I nearly destroyed my knees by running. Twenty years of very careful bicycling (cadence never outside the range 58-62) and always wearing 10-inch high neoprene braces when walking more than a mile a day finally got me past the need for the braces, but I'll never run again. Running was touted as inexpensive exercise by denying the cost of the injuries it caused.

Good health and long life!

I'll join in too, trying to loose about eight pounds to get down to my proper racing weight, recently completed the North Downs Way 100 in my kilt and i've got the Glenmore 24 hr race a week on Saturday,

Rev Graham, a guy i was talking to last week mentioned another kilted ultra runner, i'm guessing thats you, we should team up some time.

Ran my first warrior dash on the 11th and I'm hooked! Not only did I enjoy that style of event, but it helps keep my exercise goal-driven. Got another event next month, and it's clear from Sunday that I have MUCH work to do to be in the kind of shape that I want. Thanks, Hugh, for starting this thread and getting me off my lazy old butt. Cheers!

Awsome! Glad you liked it! How'd you do?

I've added Insanity Training to my winter Deca Ironman training, thought I was reasonably fit till I started it, Insanity is the right word, it's got me curled up in the feotal position by the end, but, I know it'll pay off big dividends in the long run.
