just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1582 posts | Post Edited: 03.12.2012 @ 13:36 PM by nico I've decided to use my training journal somewhat differently. Rather than updating session by session (which I do on paper anyway), I'm going to put up a few targets I have and then update this post when it is done, with a video in a subsequent post. Each target has a few intermediate steps.Some are well out of my reach for the present and actually go against what I am trying to do short term, for example getting fitter and pressing/squatting big weights. Who knows, I might get bored in a couple of weeks and do something else, but this it what seems important to me currently. Running Run for time
3000metres
400metres
Weights hip belt squat for 50
dead for 20
bench
chin for 5
pressups in three minutes

They're certainly ambitious, but if you aim for the stars, you might hit the top of the tree... I don't think you'll be seeing it from me any time soon Wayne. Given that this is more than I can do for a single, I don't think it is in my immediate future I've done, I think, about 115 for 20 in the past. I'll be very happy geting up to say 140 or so for 20. I just wanted to put the top of the ladder very high and work up it gradually, if that makes sense, even if the top proves to be well beyond me. I like the idea of picking off a target one small step at a time and seeing where that takes me. As I said, i might change my mind and head off in a nother direction-we'll see. | ||

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 21.05.2010 @ 14:19 PM by PAGAN The running targets look fairly conservative compared to the weight ones! maybe I just say that because I'm naturally better at running than weights though. Good luck with it and I look forward to seeing vids | ||

Good luck with it and I look forward to seeing vids Yes mate, they definitely are. I want to knock off the running ones fairly shortly for most of them, because I was in pretty good condition a few years back and it is a disgrace how little I run now really. When I've go them, I might think about adding in a tougher one (to replace the two hour run for example). The weights ones are more of a mountain. I might just stroll around the foothills rather than getting anywhere near the summit, but the journey should be fun. | ||

Enjoy! | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | nice goals. There aren't many 10 minute 3k'ers who can squat 200 for 20. Sod that, there aren't many 10 minute 3k'ers who can squat 140 for 20! | ||

Sod that, there aren't many 10 minute 3k'ers who can squat 140 for 20! I haven't done either I've not been a million miles away though, and I think doing something like 140 for 20 and a 12 minute three k is within reach. anyway, we'll see. If I never make it even to this level, I'll still be further along the right direction compared to now. | ||

I used to enjoy digging in when running and I'd like to get that feeling back. I was never particularly fast, but I got a lot out of pushing myself on a track and I'm curious as to whether I can rediscover what it felt like. | ||
