I'm in training for the 10 mile Syracuse Mountain Goat Run on May 1st. I alternate between doing 6 miles over "easy" terrain vs 4 miles over "difficult" terrain. I put in 26 miles 2 weeks ago, but only about 15 miles this past week - the body just can't take the sustained punishment like it used to.....

I like golfing.

Well, i am trying to lose my gut as my birthday gift for myself, and I decided to try out an excercise program based on a book my parents had bought.

The program relies heavily on weight lifting over aerobics, the notion being that its more important to build up muscle and boost the metabolism than just burn of calories, and that building new muscle is the best way to burn fat.

Its a 6 day schedule, 4 days weights, 2 days short but extensive aerobics. The first day, you do upper body weightlifting, then aerobic, then lower body weightlifting, repeat cycle.

For each muslce group, you do a declining set of reps with increaing weight. 12 reps at a medium weight, then 10, 8, and 6 reps, increasing the weight each time, with a minute rest between each set. After the 6 rep, you lower the weight to what you did 10 or 8 reps at, and you do 12 reps again, and then you switch to another excercise for the same muscle group and do 12 reps.

Those last 12 reps are murder-the muscle group hurts.

I just finished my first week. After the first lower body sesion, my legs hurt for 3 day, and I mean they hurt- it was hard going up or down stairs. Then I did my second sesion yesterday, and today my legs were barely sore. I guess that is a good sign.

pressing your body from the floor ( I don't know how is this called in English), 3 sets of this.
weightlifting sets of back, and arm muscles, with dumbells.
putting your upper body in a horisontal( without touching the floor) and then in a vertical position, repeated ( again, don't know how is this call)

alternate with running 2kms ( yeah, my cardio sucks).


I am about to pick up swimming.

Pushups?

[Az]

Yeah, Pushups!

And the other one?

[Ted Striker]

Squat thrusts?

[Ted Striker]

[Az]

the one in the lower right corner is pushups.

The second one is something similar to this, but without the metallic contraption:

[Ted Striker]

Ohhhhh

Those are called situps in English

Boris, ohh you nasty man, I should have known!

ANyways, back to the subject, I might be looking at new training methods myself too. Basically, I want to go and be a little smaller. I don't mean to bring down the body fat more, I just need to be more leaner overall, meaning I need to start training differently. I'm not Sly now, so it's not lkie I'm a brick or anything, but I'd dig more leaner style, since I think I'd look better that way, and I'm tired of trying to go bigger, because I'm naturally quite big so.. time to go smaller. Also I'm looking to get the ultimate healthy look. MY inspiration is Randy Couture, the nature boy is doing great training and I feel that's what I need to go for, just like him.. I want to be in his shape when I hit 40.
