TildeGuy~! Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 You’ve walked 105 miles in 5 days? Where are you even going? Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 9, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Been doing quite a bit of running lately, wanting to get in tip top shape for my coaching. It's shit, isn't it? Christ I find it so boring. Listening to a podcast helps. Just going for 4 mile runs at a time (nothing near Ralphy Ronaldo levels) certainly does the trick, but I don't enjoy it. I've started playing competitive football on Monday nights which of course is more enjoyable. I cycle to/from the train station twice a day but that doesn't give me as much of a workout as running does. Edited July 9, 2019 by PunkStep Quote

Yeah, running, especially on your own, is absolute shite. I do it a lot, but only because it's the cheapest and easiest way for me to avoid dropping dead in my 60's. If you can, I would recommend joining a club. The knowledge that everyone else is having as bad a time as you helps. Edited July 9, 2019 by Gus Mears Quote

I run on my own around 3/4 times a week, usually between 4-8 miles and the rare 10+ miles if I'm training for a run. It is fucking boring, but as you mentioned podcasts are a godsend. I pretty much look at running now as my time to catch up on podcasts and music so it helps me to look forward to it in a way. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 If you are surpassing marathon distances in a day, why not do a marathon? A goal to reach, maybe raise some money for charity too. Quote
Porkchopcash Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Ralphy, just so you know Ironics post is a quote from a Craig David song, thats why people are upvoting. Quote
Paid Members Statto Posted July 10, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 10, 2019 Admittedly I've only been doing it since the turn of the year, but I fucking love my running. Far from finding it boring, I find the time flies while I'm out there, no headphones needed. Find it quite meditative too. Have my first event a week on Sunday, the Run Norwich 10k, so I'm deep into my training plan for that. Anything under an hour I'll be happy with, secretly hoping for 57 mins-ish. Quote
Ironic Indie Lad Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 How are you tracking this? Walking 20 miles on average per day seems extreme mate. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 13, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 13, 2019 Do you listen to anything on these rambles Ralphy? Please don't say nu-metal. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 13, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 13, 2019 You’ve walked further than London to Bruges listening to Alex Party & POD. You mad bastard. Quote
CavemanLynn Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 I wouldn't exercise that much, of any kind, and I'm a PT. My life balance would be totally out of whack. I noticed in an earlier post you said you'd covered 11 miles in three hours that morning, and you posted that shortly after 8am. So you'd started at 5am? You've also posted about the quantities of food you eat, then state you're around 8 stone, which isn't overweight at all unless you're extremely short. You've said you live with your parents, with a father who from your perspective appears to resent you and a mother who appears passive. You mention your anxiety, but no mention of work life or social life (even with a condition). As impressive as your fitness achievements are and how rightly proud you see of them, I really do question how and why you are really doing them, and whether they are masking something less healthy that you should be dealing with. This is also based on your recent posts where you described your dangerously negative mind space, and were advised by a lot of forum members to seek help from professional organisations like Samaritans. Just, please, be careful. Ignore if out of line. Quote
