Same as that. Sticking to treadmill for weekend which is a bit of a cop out. Will aim for a first time next weekend and then again the weekend after.
Have you the treadmill long? I donāt think Iād have the discipline for one. Have had snow the last 3/4 Sunday runs so itāll be no different tomorrow
Id love a treadmill for the winter.
We got it at Xmas. Mrs Mac did severe ligament damage in October so it was partially for her recovery but also for walking on the days of severe bad weather with both of us working from home and needing a bit of movement to stay sane.
It breaks my heart doing more than 30 mins on it as itās awful boring. But it seems helpful for speed work where I might struggle to push myself a bit.

I went out this morning and nearly blown away so didnāt even bother me hole thinking Iād go for a run. Did a bit of trx and logged it. Handy to track the workouts too, never did it before but good to keep an eye on routines and that.

Iāve been out a nice bit since middle of January. 3 times a week, doing a mix of stuff so itās not like I just rocked up and ran it. My last 5km was the 20th of January and that was 22 mins. So Iād imagine the improvement is just in line with the training with Iāve doing. While nice to hear, I think you are wildly over estimating my ability
Handy when you want a run and donāt need someone to mind the kids. But Iād prefer to be outside all the time. But I couldnāt be dealing with the cold and the wind of the last week.

Used to love TRX. Did it for about 3/4 years in Limerick. Kept injury free the whole time while doing it. Iād love to get back into it. I donāt think Iād have discipline to do much of it at home though
A lot of steamers posting here. Afraid of weather.

Whatās TRX?
Iām none the wiser.
The best gym type training I ever did. Uses your bodyās weight as opposed to weights. Used to go to classes the whole time in Limerick. Think it was developed by navy seals. Really helps with your balance, flexibility, core strength, etc.

So its basically pulling on big elastic things?
Never saw it before.
Itās all about working your core and smaller muscles that attach to bigger onesā¦ which are key to strength. I remember doing a session with cauli and for three days couldnāt bend my armsā¦ the muscles at the very bottom of triceps, just above elbow, were absolutely bolloxed. I was never as stiffā¦ Really isolates certain areas and works them while you balance, which in turn works your core.
How do you fit the buggy onto it?
