Like i said before, now that the drinking and excesses of last week is over i am going to start getting fit from here on in. I am undecided yet what methods i will use, possibly road running with a few squats and thrusts thrown in. I am eating porridge most mornings now and i think i will be exercising in the mornings. I wonder should i eat the porridge before or after the running?
best of luck with it mate- i wouldnt listen to any of the clowns on here with their fitness tips & their what to eas tips- without a proper study of the person their giving advice to they are only speaking in broad generic terms- as we are now back in spring ill be cycling to work for the next 10 months. i will also be respecting the rhythms of my body clock too. if i now feel tired during the day ill be taking a 15 minute power nap. in regards to diet- ill see how I feel an hour after eating something & If I feel good then Ill be eating it again- if i dont i wont
simples
I’m no fitness instructor, but that sounds like sound advice mate. Best of luck with it…
Also, i am taking up darts again which starts later tonight. This will be more exercise in my new fitness regime…
Did it yesterday.
bear…
not the best after it.
how long did it take?
Didn’t time it exactly, but around 1 hr 15, i had to improvise a little bit
kev,
could you explain this part of the program and how you did it?
is it sprint 10, jog 10 *2. sprint 20 , jog 20 *2 or just sprint 500 all at once?
The Ladders
This is a very tough sprint type workout, which gets longer with each
sprint.
You do 10 x 2, 20 x 2, 40 x 2, 80 x 2 and finally 100 x 2 without
stopping. The total distance of the sprint is going to be 500 yards nonstop.
During this exercise, you will focus on your running technique, making
sure to run the distances as if you were running in a race. The speed at
which you run these distances will be speed during all of them. This
means that you will are not running them as fast as you can as you have
to cover 500 yards.
Rest 2 minutes between each one, performing three of these runs. They
will help you build the endurance necessary to get through the games
when they come up.The Ladders

That is retarded. Doubt the Marines or French Foreign Legion do even that much in a session. The whole idea of training so hard you get sick is ridiculous. In my experience GAA club players and teams train far too much and by the time August comes around are totally burned from it.
The wum was a little obvious too.
Mickee i didn’t have ladders, but what i used was the start line with the boxed 1-8 numbers instead. Basically (and i wasn’t sure like you) was go through do the “fast feet” motion (it says go at 75% though, which i definitely did, if not slower).
The 10 (i understood) was the ladders, (it was 8 for me). So i went up and down once for the first one, took 10 secs break, went up and down twice for the second one, took 10 secs, went up and down 4 times etc to the end. Took 2 minutes and did it all again.
Not quite ideal without the ladders, but its a technique based drill anyway. Calves were fucked afterwards.
I’m actually in the middle of designing a 8 week programme to get someone up to the level to do this. I fucking really struggled in fairnes at the end, and i have been doing a nice bit of conditioning/track/football recently, so i am in a good position to try it. But i should really have left it for another week or two at least. I can’t train tonight or tomorrow from it i’d say. Its a good challenge, but actually not as daunting as one would imagine.
You know fuck all about the Marines or the FFL if you think that. Dope, stick to talkijng about Villa.
I’m looking to do a bit of strength work in the gym tonight, but I fuckin hate free weights. I just can’t stick them.
Are any of the machines any use? Or to be avoided?
avoid them all mate- gyms are for benders
what you need to do is catch a 20 minute power nap & you’ll be feeling just dandy
Knock yourself out Runt. You’ll be a ball of muscle in no time…

Cheers, that seems to involve a lot of weights though.
What’s the story with people out running with wrist weights? What are the benefits? Arm muscles id presume?
more resistence when you run as well, meaning you would burn more calories
[quote=“Kinvara, post: 63268”]
I would suggest this Runt, there is building strength AND muscle, and there is building strength. The Russian Squat programme is perfect for strength without pounding on muscle. I would do the very same system and formula for the bench press. You need to work out your one rep max for both.
