Derby Tup May 2019 10:22pm, 23 May 2019 31,511 posts	0 Derby Tup I ran four miles last night with a pal who wanted to run at 110 to 115 bpm. It was hellish. I couldn’t match fast enough to keep up but running was agony. My quads are mangled today. Mind wearing a six year old pair of Inov8 Mudclaw 333 probably didn’t help

Velociraptor May 2019 10:27pm, 23 May 2019 41,707 posts	0 Velociraptor I tend to think of walking as nothing (though not sufficiently "nothing" for me not to measure and log it) and got caught out yesterday when I walked a bit over nine miles in two outings in the morning then just had a snacky lunch before going out on a bike ride. If I'd run nine miles I'd have had a Magnum as soon as I finished and then a substantial main course, but the walking just didn't register.
Velociraptor May 2019 10:32pm, 23 May 2019 41,708 posts	0 Velociraptor FR, it's "normal", as in the default setting, to start to lose strength (and muscle mass) in your forties and beyond unless you take active steps to avoid it. I'm very much of the view that time spent stretching, foam-rollering, and doing "mobilisation" exercises would be better spent under a barbell.

Derby Tup May 2019 10:41pm, 23 May 2019 31,512 posts	0 Derby Tup My arms are pitiful after being told to basically not lift anything heavy for 12 weeks post surgeries. I’m considering weight training for the first time ever in my life
