running has been good to me but ive reached the point of diminishing returns

C'mon man.

The whole idea of 'easy running' seems to be fantasy. no part of running right now is easy, even warming up i just wanted to give it up 5 minutes in.\

Mate I can speak from experience here that it does in fact get easier. Not sure I ever got to the 'easy running' part but once I got past the first few minutes it got a whole lot easier.

On a side note, I've had cold showers everyday about the last two weeks. I started it last year but never actually committed to it. Very easy to get started when it's 30+ degrees though haha. It's funny though the change in responses to the cold water. Even when it was super hot out the shower would be uncomfortably cold and I could only last small periods under the water. Had one yesterday when it was only about 18 degrees outside and I hung out under the cold water for a few minutes with no real level of discomfort. It didn't feel warm but it didn't feel cold either.

On Saturday I caught a train out to Werribee to meet a friend I played rugby with. We arranged to meet at a local pub and it was one of the most feral pubs I've ever been to. I got there at 4pm and half the patrons were already pissed off their heads and there was an unusually high amount of head/neck tattoos. I went to the urinal and people had defecated in it and there were flies everywhere- it was fkn disgusting. I went to the disabled toilet and it was even worse! The bathrooms were uninhabitable. 

Hahahahaha. Werribee!!! Does not surprise me at all.

Let me know the next time you're in Melbourne. I'll take you to a slightly less neck tatted area  ;D

The only bad thing about Melbourne is the beers! Surely some pubs could have Super Dry on tap instead of Carlton Draught and VB  :P


Ok now that's just offensive  :P

running motivation super low at the moment. got home from work and just quit on myself.   :-[

- push ups x 14,19,14,14,20

- SMR calves/soleus

- stretch

Don't stress too much mate. I'm in the same boat at the moment. Not much motivation, busy with other things too. Take some of the pressure off.

Quick update- Have been training every day/second day. No real plan and just getting in a session when I can. I call it pottering and that's going to be the theme for December. I have taken all training responsibility off myself for the time being and it feels good.

Quick leg session at home

Peterson step up- 3 x 10 @ bw

Front foot elevated split squat- 3 x 8 @ 16kg

Single Leg DL- 3 x 8 @ 16kg

J Curl- 2 x 8 @ 6kg

Followed up with a social netball game. I think this is single-handedly the most frustrating game ever played.

Thoughts on Boston?

There's so much to like about this team and as much as I like some of the players individually I just cannot get amongst them as a team. They seem devoid of the same personality they had last year.

Have had a bit of a virus the last 4-5 days. Spent the weekend away with the family as my wife did the Challenge Shepparton 70.3. Watching her standing there waiting for the call into the water for the swim still gives me anxiety thinking about having to swim that far with that many people. She has this virus too and couldn't keep any food down, lost most of her nutrition on the bike and only took in about 400ml of liquid nutrition for the whole thing. Finished in 5:37 so although she's disappointed with the time it's a great achievement.

I'm feeling almost back to normal and will gradually get back to training in the next couple of days.

damn that really sucks for your wife. i remember something like that happening for one of her other races?

regardless, she is a beast.

hope you both kick that virus asap, sucks!!!!!$@

Thanks man. Yeah you've got a good memory. She lost her nutrition in the one marathon that she did and paid for it. Good thing is in her next race if all goes to plan she should be 15-20 mins quicker at least.
