Really well done to you @Scott @Jon @Keith and @Boomer. Some great sessions there fellas.

https://i.postimg.cc/gnvFNZxW/20180924_071455.jpg Really doubted this was a good day so I broke my usual 10 miles into 5km intervals and I really surprised myself. I also did another 1093m (I never count the resting metres) @ 1:59.1 r21 just to complete the full mileage. I'm happy with how it turne...

Yes mate. Doing longer distances at circa 18-22 Is a great way of building up aerobic fitness and helps with developing your technique. It's basically taking the benefits of 30r20 and multiplying it. Personally I prefer to do r21-22 as this is more transferable to higher rates. I don't see much bene...

Excellent time Andrew. Really well done

Good discussion going on here. I can say that I like to experiment with my interval sessions. What worked for me 6years ago 10*300m 1min rest, isn't working for me now, so will now see what happens with longer intervals. The majority of my sessions are longer (16k) top end ut2 and it seems to be wo...

Hi Mike, I have no athletic previous. The following is a very long and boring story cut short. I used to drink to excess and some, and smoke heavily. I ballooned to 25+ stone. :oops: I met my life saving wife to be in1996. She showed me different path to follow. We joined a gym in 97', and have not...

As John says you're doing great. Well done

That sounds like a nightmare with your health problems. It's astounding that no one has took ownership after all this time.

Yeah, good to hear you're back on the road to recovery Mike and that's a great session Bob.

I guess it depends on what your end goal is. Do you want to go faster, get fitter or something else? Both plans will provide good results.

10km @ r20 ave pace 2:00.3

This was a border line stupid session as I almost turned around halfway to the gym this morning as I'm far from 100% but I can't make it to the gym until Sunday now so it was pushing me on knowing that.

Metres banked but it wasn't pleasant

Yeah, I do eat a lot and don't forget there's quite a lot of protein in other stuff e.g. oats, nuts and seeds, non wheat pasta.

I am guessing at protein but it's probably about that, maybe a bit less, but I regularly have four eggs for breakfast and a protein shake straight after the gym

Good to hear. Proper form, unless you really concentrate on it, can be a real hindrance to progress

To be honest Paul I don't keep a close eye on it. I probably have one gram per pound if I I was to guess, so I'm in agreement with Keith. I love food and I'm always hungry so I just try and eat protein with every meal / snack.

I read somewhere that you are still repairing up to 72 hours later so I keep the same level of protein all the time, but I have no idea if that is essential or not.
