Bummed about school starting up again next week. Going to be in class from 6-10pm twice a week. Going to throw off my routine a bit.

 

[Gunkata]

for guys eating at 8 or later, what time do you go to bed?

 

[balius]

I've been trying to be in bed at 9:30 and asleep around 10. But my goal is to gain weight, so eating late isn't a huge issue for me.

Thanks for the meal time responses. I'm going to have to look into more lean meals to make for when I start cutting at the beginning of next month.

Ran 1.5miles straight, then went up to about 2.65 with intervals after that. Then biked for 6mins and got just over 2miles. BEAST MODE. (aka, I may pass out soon, but that was a great workout)

^^Thats great!

I've had a setback. Apparently I've been walking/landing incorrectly for the past 37 years (on the outsides of my feet). Tender, swollen ankles for the past couple weeks. I can hardly walk.

My trainer has me walking differently and doing exercises to strengthen the balls of my feet and big toes. I hope I'm better soon so I can do cardio again.

What kind of shoes are you wearing?

There are running shoes to correct this problem and also to correct the opposite, so the wrong shoes can exaggerate the problem. Obviously correcting it with work like your trainer is having you do is best but to prevent injury in the mean time having a running store fit you for proper shoes can help.

I have that too sort of, since breaking my leg in 4th grade. One leg is bowed and slightly shorter so my gait is all weird (comical actually, I walk like a penguin). The result is that I can't run more than about 3/4 mile without getting debilitating shin splints. Couple years ago I even got a stress fracture just from walking around. I know how you feel man...if you can, go to an orthopedist or podiatrist and they'll tell you exactly what shoes or inserts you need. Unfortunately I can't afford that :iono: but luckily I find biking more enjoyable and easy on my legs.

Day 3 success & end of the week. Completed all planned exercises, worked each muscle group through the 3 days since we started late in the week and completed all the goals we set for this week.

Consistently ran 3+ miles in 30 minutes each day and completed 4 sets of 10 of 2 exercises for each muscle group. We did calves last today and holy shit I'm dreading the morning when I take my first step, lol.

Feels really great to be active, good to get fit and great to becoming a better person. Currently enjoying/forcing down my post-workout drink and looking forward to a nice relaxing evening.

Bravo dudes! To all the hard work everybody put in this week.

I have a good pair of New Balance 991's but I've had them for a while. While the soles are in great shape I now fear the inside cushions are formed with my poor stance. I'll stop wearing them and buy a new pair tomorrow.
