Much better this time.

I ran for a whole 15 minutes with no problems (touch wood). My schedule today was:

Treadmill walk program - 30 minutes

Running - 15 minutes (5 @ 5mph, 10 @ 6.2mph)

Elyptical Trainer - 10 minutes (1 min slow, 1min fast)

Rower - 10 minutes

What was apparent is how the break from running has damaged my fragile fitness level. It is my intention to build on all these diciplines and keep my exercise more varied. Once I am happy with my ankle I then want to build a long run in at the weekend, but still mix this with cycling to lower the mileage.

When I get to my target weight, then I can review the schedule and up the mileage, building up stamina and speed. Racing can wait for the moment.

sounds impressive enough to me! Do you go to gym?

 

[Hrun]

Nope

Difficult to find an excuse not to exercise when it is next to the telly

 

[Heinzster]

Impressive! Looks like a scaled down JJB

How does Mrs Hrun feel about you cluttering up the living room with your machines?

 

[Hrun]

The treadmill is hers

I just made sure we bought one which could cope with my bulk.

 

[Grant]

Sounds like you've got all the motivation you need, Hrun.

Keep up the good work!

hehehe I can just see the bunnies playing with that lot when your not looking:lol:

 

[Hrun]

Don't,

Mrs Hrun has had Foz on his lead on the treadmill trying to get him to run But you know rabbits, he will go any way other than the direction he wants to

You've got rabbits? cute! I would love one but I dont think the landlord would be too happy!

 

[Hrun]

We got Foz when we were living in a Flat Liz, and when we moved down south the letting agents on the whole didnt have a problem as they are not a pet. Meaning they class them as a quiet caged animal like a gerbil or fish. When they say no pets they mean dogs that bark or cats that poop in the neighbours flowers. Try asking?

There are pics knocking around of mine and littlered's rabbits

 

[Liz3yy]

Nah I dont think it would be a good idea to have any kind of pet in our flat, we're away alot and work long hours sometimes so it wouldnt be fair. I can still dream though as I really would like a cat too one day, I miss the days at my parents when the cat would wake me up in the morning with a paw in the face!

 

[Hrun]

Ah, Mrs Hrun works from home. So all good

Hrun for the ulimate workout and motivation rig the equipment through a dynamo to power the telly so you have to run/row/stride to switch it on.

 

[littlered]

Good luck with starting again. And hope your ankle is better

Genius :d Wouldn't get to watch much telly though

Cheers. It is fine day to day, just exercise which is causing probs. Hopefully all the rest is sorting it

 

[littlered]

I dont know if I'm imaging it, but my ankle feels a bit better after all the stretching I have been doing the dayA good day all round for ankles I'd say:d
