Hello fellow Nerdfighters. (Sorry for my English in advance, it's not my native language) I've been lurking around this place for almost a year now and i finally decided to join in. Although i have made (for my standards) incredible changes this last year, i feel like there is more room for improvement; time to be more awsome every year! I'm a student from Holland, 21 years old, and since i found NerdFitness i've been upgrading my life significantly. I am 186 cm long (6ft1) and i weigh around 84kg (185 lbs). So this summer i decided i wanted to run a Half Marathon. A friend of mine pushed me and finally i signed up..... The 11th of January i will run the Half Marathon. But before October i've never ran more than 2 miles. But in 40 days, i managed to go up from 2 miles to 10k (6.2 Miles). But there is still a long road ahead of me! Main Quest: Run the Half Marathon (But at the end of the challenge my main goal is to run 15k, 9.32 miles) Mission 1: Run 3 times a week. Two times 10k, one time Interval. 3 times= A, 2 times= B, 1 times=C, 0 times= F Mission 2: Lose Weight. At this moment i am 84kg (185 lbs). I would like to drop to around 78kg (172 lbs) while maintaining muscle mass. My plan is to go full paleo + intermitting fasting. The less you weigh, the less pressure there will be on my achilles heel, which is my "achilles heel" Lose 6 kg= A, Lose 4 kg= B, Lose 2 kg= C, Lose Nothing or Gain weight= F Mission 3: Work on my pull ups. Back excercise is pretty important for the long run, so i'd like to improve that. My goal, which i set one year ago when i joined the rebellion, is to do 15 pull ups (3x5). At this moment im doing 4-3-3. I've made huge progress: Time to finish it! (3x5)= A, (3x4)= B, Anything else=D Sidequest (Non Fitness/Diet related): Getting all my study points this semester. Sidequest (Fitness related) Bench press my bodyweight, 185 lbs (5x5). Currently i am at 143 lbs (5x5). Motivation I guess just like every1 else here: Be a better version of yourself every. single. day.
