@matt-wood Backs are brutal aren't they - proper debilitate you when you get a twinge in the back.
Uphill or anything different when walking?
Yes, loving it to be fair - feel stronger than I've perhaps ever been running but not the distance yet.
-
@ryan-carruthers Sounds like they are really working out for you Good dedication to keep running in this weather too.
Not done anything for 3 weeks now as I hurt my back walking of all things! I was panicking for a while but it does seem to be slowly improving. Should start some stretching this week and some light, light weights next week.
-
@matt-wood Yes just been for one 5K/6K with the barefoot trainers - I bought the Freo wobble boards - WOW they've had a massive impact on my calf strength.
Noticed my tight calves are pretty much gone now as well. I am only wearing barefoot pretty much all the time now - Are you getting any training in?
-
Mood is pretty good yep, it's becoming quite addictive running lol I want to go further every time but know that I shouldn't push those calves.
100% My balance board work is really helping with balance as well so getting so much stronger from the base too.

So I'm currently at 4K 3 times a week barefoot trainers for runs, with a balance board program too.
Noticed that I can sit in a squat longer (I have been painting the house a lot!)
My calves are no way near as tightNice. Bet you are noticing an upward mood swing as well?

@john-folan Makes you think 'Why did I ever stop?' I hate it when I am forced to stop as I know how beneficial it is for me to train.
Absolutely bang on mate

Yep BMI I hate my mate is classed as overweight and he's in movie star shape lol
Crazy isnβt it. But then itβs designed for people (like me ) who are overweight. Probably to scare you into doing something. Becomes less relevant once you are active and fit
-
BMI can be misleading unless you know you are a lazy fat git lol. If you are working out and itβs muscle not fat you are good to go. Women love doing that though donβt they?
-
@john-folan I think itβs because the muscle that a female can gain isnβt a huge amount so it kind of becomes one in the same thing but a guy can have quite a lot so the body composition is a bigger factor. My missus did my BMI the other day whilst doing hers and proceeded to joyfully tell me I was classed as overweight Iβm 13.5st at 5β10 but definitely not overweight!
