The official running thread™

I ran about 50 times around the house this morning in 30 min, hopefully getting my Vitality 300 points (Vitality is not syncing with Suunto, probably because of the WACS cable break).

What a schelp...on the bright side just in case you haven’t seen the weekly goal has dropped to 300 now. So at least you’re all set for the week if you get the points.

Thought about doing that... but I get around 130 meters and with all the around and around I will get dizzy and fall down :ROFL:

Mine's even shorter, probably 50-60m. I had to be careful, dashing up narrow outside passages and through the garage, with stairs. GPS is drastically inaccurate; I should rater use treadmill.

Eish I though I was in decent shape until I joined teh wife to do some pushups and planks. Bloody hell 4 sets of 30 second planks and it feels like I have been punched in the kidneys, repeatedly, by Mike Tyson.

So Ill just sit on my indoor trainer and Zwift.
 
Eish here I am bitching about not being able to run around the yard :oops:

I see Strava had exploded with it. Might become the new normal - and less cycling on the roads.

I have one major issue with Zwift, its like a mmorpg but you have to pedal a bike to get exp. My body is not happy, but Im trying to get enough points to buy a new frame on Zwift :p
 
I used my never-used indoor trainer yesterday. Ouch. I think the resistance setting is broken, because it only has a medium setting. I felt like I was dying, and was taking a break after every 20 seconds. I was pouring with sweat after 30 min, absolutely shattered, and despite that, my average heart rate was only 118. I think this is where my muscles need to get the hang of it before my cardio gets stressed.
 
I did a 2km run around my yard that is one of the hardest things I have ever done, instead I changed to the stationary bike and have been doing weights for the last week.

Not quiet the same rush I get from running but at least I'm keeping semi fit and keeping me from going to the fridge again.....

Going to be trying to do an Ultra around my living room tomorrow. I've worked out that it's about 930 trips from my couch down to the bedroom and back; a round trip of 60m. Dumbest thing I've ever done but hey...

Good Luck! Have seen folks do it on balconies etc so you should be fine. Crazy but fine lol

Most I've done yet is 65 laps around the yard which is about 7.5k's

Very nice. Most I've done is 10km so this is a "slight" step up, haha.

Yeah, nice. Feet and ankles take a hammering but I should be ok. No cutoff times to worry about, haha.
 
Tried running at home up and down driveway for the running world cup. I am not as good as you okes, however d o normally run 5km in 32 mins (does include some walking)

Noticed that doing the driveway loops, my Garmin underreports my distance. Tells me I am doing 1km in 10 mins which is wierd. I have a feeling the GPS is not working out that I am moving ?

Anyone noticed this?

When you turn, is it like on a point or are you doing a big loop?
