When doing HIT how important is it to stick to the time intervals?Would jogging the length of a football pitch then sprinting the length etc be as effective or are the timings strict?

[Mr. Gayle]

As long as your doing intervals, I dont think it would make a differenceI tend to do it on a treadmill/Starting to love long distance running now, the feeling when you have done 5k is so sick Rocky 4 soundtrack in your ears sweat dripping off you, cant beat it.Whats the fastest you lot run a mile, done my fastest on Friday (on treadmill) 6.37

[Captain Planet]

Been running circa 5km daily now, getting alot easier, gonna increase speed before distanceAlso been looking at running technique and form, noticed my lower back was doing too much work so I'm concentrating more on form dont want that "runners pooch" or so they call it

been doing a fair bit of jogging/sprintingdeveloping a shin splint in my left leg now thoughgonna rest for a week

[LemonGuy]

I've started running outdoors now as opposed to treadmill stuff and it's working much better - enjoying it a lot more.

I started just doing a 30 minute run and did 5.9K, now I'm running 6K in under 30 minutes and finding it a lot easier.

I'm going to try and get my 1K splits down to 4'50 from 5 minutes and then up it to 7K.

Feeling good, Nike+ is a real motivation, I love seeing all the stats etc and having the prompts as to how far I've run etc.

[LemonGuy]

Have you done your first run with the sensor?

I'd just take it from there really, my first run I did was half an hour and I did just under 6K doing K's in about 5"20 which is OK as a starting point. Just trying to get quicker really.

[LemonGuy]

you done a marathon and a half ?

the only thing with running is

i get bored quick

Same here man, I really struggled with running in the past. That's why i like Nike+, getting updates as to your speed and how long you've got left makes it interesting I think.

(I think he meant 6-8K).

[LemonGuy]

I've been keeping the running up, doing it at lunch time now around regents park.

Did 6.3K yesterday at 4:58 p/km which is pretty good for me. Going out again at lunch today to do it again and then 10K on Friday.

[LemonGuy]

Ran my first 10K yesterday (actually ran 11). Pretty happy with it, felt good.

[LemonGuy]

I'm pretty much posting to myself now, but just a 10K in 50:53 which was pretty tough.

Next step, under 50 minutes.

Im jumping on this as well.

Medial ligament damage forced me to stop football and hit the gym. It’s a chance for me to improve my stamina as it has always been shockingly bad anyway while I was playing footie.

Also the fact that I get bored real quick running long distances was always a huge hindrance.

Anyways

Previously on a treadmill the longest I ever ran was like 4k in about 20 minutes, that was only because I started on level 12 (12kph) and bumped it to level 16 coz I got bored and tired myself out

So when I went gym the other day, for the first time I though fuck it. Let me pace myself and see how far I can go

Level 8 (Dont laugh) for 35 mins..... not a problem. was pretty chuffed coz no hype that was the longest I have ever ran in one setting.

Next time I went gym I tried level 9.5 and lasted 35 mins again. This time felt more comfy

Then last sunday I though fuck it let me try 10k. Did it on level 10.5 the whole way through which is 57 minutes. Was mad boring but felt well chuffed in the end. Thing that smacks it is that I didnt feel that tired, wasnt pushing myself that much so still had loads left in the tank.

Might try it again soon and try and push myself and see what I can do, will keep you updated

Had another go yesterday at the 10k on the treadmill

Eventually ran 11k in just under 55 mins and the 10k split at just over 50 mins.

Was actually surprised considering I have only started training properly for around 2/3 weeks now, before that I wasn't doing much.

Fair enough it was on the treadmill and I know doing the real thing is much harder however its a good platform for me especially at this stage of my training

Anyways im gonna stop running long distances for now and focus more on High intensity interval training mixed with bike/rowing/swimming/core training to increase my overall fitness/stamina/strength

Also I need to shed some weight I recently got measured as having a BMI of 26 and body fat percentage of 25%. Ideally I would like it to be around 18% but to be honest I dont know too much about this,

any advise from u man?

@lemons, also waiting for payday myself and im hearing that places are going fast so best not to sit on it.

[Badman]

Went way out of my comfort zone yesterday in the Gym.

TBH if I expect to improve then this is what I have to do every session coz blatantly I havnt been pushing myself enough

I did 5k on the treadmill today in 22 mins 15 secs, thats an average of 13.5 kph

Also had the incline on 2% to simulate hills etc

Was very tough no way would I have been able to sustain that for another 5k. And if I did then my time would have been 44.30 just around my aim time

Im no where near that at the moment.

To be continued
