NGL, I’d struggle some days.
I put the speed shoes on today and decided to go for it from the off. Hell, I even did a warm-up for once!
Result was a full 2 minutes faster than last week, and 1:45 faster than my previous PB from 2017.
Previous (2017) PB: 22:15
Today’s new all-time PB: 20:29
It’s unlikely to happen before I fly out, but I’d love to record a sub-20 soon.
Managed to hit an inadvertent PR on deadlift.
Because American weights are in freedom units (lbs) the plates are slightly heavier. So 192kg on the deadlift.
I’m hoping for bigger than 200 while I’m out here.
Saw the video. Pretty mad. Good on you. From someone that doesn’t lift, those numbers don’t mean much. But seeing the sheer size of the plates really got it across!
Love it!
They’re a bit misleading as they’re bumper plates, but thanks
You in Imperial units of pounds and ounces.
8 seconds off today. EIGHT DAMN SECONDS!
Keeping my fingers crossed that I can knock as much off next week as I’ve managed this week.
Managed to hit that 200kg deadlift I was gunning for.
Not competition standard, bit sketchy getting it up, but it got up.
I probably would have defecated myself doing that
Mostly off-road 10k race tonight.
Wasn’t sure what to expect; it’s been years since I last raced a 10k and I personally think they’re the hardest distance to run well.
End result was a new PB for any type of 10k (inc road running) by over 2 mins! Was close to making it a sub-47 in warm conditions with rough terrain in places.
Tough Mudder 10+ Miles today (apparently)
I’ll be fine, but Miss. VZ who signed upnlast year, now doesn’t want to do it, guess how much practice shes done
She did it! Only skipped a few obstacles too #proud
I entered a race (Correr por el Día del Mundo del Medio Ambiente - Run for World Environment Day) the first weekend I was here. 8km of trails through shanty towns, including 2km over soft sand dunes.
The photos have finally been released. It’s like playing a game of “spot the white guy”
I’ve been really quite lazy since being here, so was glad to finally do a 10 miler this morning.
The looks you get as a gringo running along the Panamerican Highway are quite funny.
I’ve actually got this week off for sport!
At RAF Cosford for my first power lifting comp
Having seen the people who are here today… I will not place very well
If you bump into AOC22 group ask him to update his avatar will you
Fun first comp.
Managed another deadlift PR as well. So I’ll take that.
