Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

bike ride and running are opposite sports, it's not me telling this advice to you, it's a pro trainer in my pro football team when I was young. I liked both playing football and going out with the bike to the hills, and forced too much until one of my 'abductors' muscles in the right leg got injured.  That's when my trainer told me I injured it by forcing at bike and then doing the opposite exercise at the football training.

My advice is you forget about the bike ride (well u can use it a lighter way) and focuse on stamina at running, setting a distance for 3 days then resting 1 day, then adding some more kms for the next 3 days, and the important here is the way you do it -> you have to start the trail walking, then progressively accelerating the pace and the last km you have to do it at your max speed and capacity, with a sprint in the last meters.

I got good trainings in my youth years and I keep a strong legs despite I'm kinda fat now because of the night-life and too many beers in my belly, but you can trust my advice smile

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

My stamina isnt bad arsy, its just a question of improving it tongue...

My long term goal would be to beat 1 hour 30 minutes on a half marathon, but i realize thats quite for off atm tongue.

I Agree that cycling and running isnt the same sport, but at my level im pretty sure it wont hurt too much.

For running i do mostly kinda long runs, i find it difficult to get motivated for such workouts as intervalls, and as im training for half-marathon anyways, i am atm trying to put as many kilometers in into my legs as possible.

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

If youre after stamina and would like a different type of cardio workout consider swimming. Its one of the best for it since it regulates your breathing and is easier on your joints due to being low impact.

Stairs also works well of course. Or any type of elevated sustained leg lifting.

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

as an added side note:

I weigh around 70kg, 5 ft 10 and im 20..
I play football most nights per week and the last time i did a distance run i managed 15km in 70 minutes..
that workes out at around 7.25 per mile and i would consider myself rather fit.. GL getting to 7 min miles for half marathon - it is achievable but you gotta put alota effort it smile

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

Agreed on the cycling part. I have been cycling to work (1.5h a day) for a while now and decided to take up running. God I had no stamina when it came down to running! I have only ran four times since I started and compared to you I have a crap stamina but pushing myself to run 1/1.5km more each time works real good for me. I started out with 3km then 4/5/6.5 and next run I am aiming for 8km smile I pick a route on google maps and I aim to complete it to stimulate myself to go that "extra mile".

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

its interesting to see that your talking bout how you train, but not what you eat....stating that your getting a hot dog and coke, makes me think your gonna take forever to get into really good shape! u should combine different sports, that gives the best result, I do martial arts AND I go to the gym and im tedious bout what I eat, and ive never been in better shape. Took me bout 1,5 year to get where i am today. I try to do other things, too like tennis, badminton....mixing it up is the way to go Noir! btw your on my IC-death list forever!

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

well im more curious bout nutrition tongue Ive had a solid diet for quite some time, but than I saw a documentary bout meat and dairy products and it made me unsure so I have been thinking bout becoming a vegetarian or eating much less meat+dairy.

Couch to 5k! - http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Also looking good/being healthy is definitely more about diet than exercise.

Re: The "HELP NOIR TO GET INTO SHAPE" thread

well my principles for nutrition atm is basicly to eat balancedly:

I try not to overeat on carbs such a pasta, rice and potatoes
I try to eat lean meat and/or fish (Chicken, good quality meat, not bacon or meat paste, no sausages)
I eat as little sugar as i manage, but ofc theres some. For snacks i try to eat fruit and vegetables, i often eat frozen berries for treat.

Regarding dairy i dont really drink much milk, as i just dont like it, i do however use some handy low fat dairdy products that have a high content of proteins, examples: quatk(kesam) or cottage cheese.

Oh and i try to drink abundantly with water and lately ive even tried to get enough sleep!
