Ashenmaster Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Ok a little late but here goes, my first challenge since the respawn which I've already been following just without realising it, goals are below: - Log my calories every day over the challenge - Run 3x a week - Lift 3x a week - Add transactions to YNAB once a week I'm going to try and post here at least once a week, ideally every day with a screenshot of MFP and the Starting Strength App. You'll have to take my word on the YNAB stuff . First post will be on Sunday now coming 3 Quote Ashenmaster the level 1 Lycan RangerSTR 5 | STA 6 | DEX 0 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 0 My Battlelog So Far Current Challenge1st Challenge Link to post

jonfirestar Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Following along! Are your running and lifting on the same days or are you working out 6 days a week? I'm trying to juggle similar workout goals, it can get quite complicated Quote - strava - myfitnesspal - Instagram 2019 Roadmap Spoiler " Always aim for something stupidly crazy." - Charlie Quinn 2019 Races: Cliveden MTR 06/01 | Nuts Challenge 02/03 | Reading Half Marathon 17/03 | W.A.R 27/04 | RRDW 11/05 | Nuclear Oblivion 19/05 | Man vs Lakes 20/07 | Spartan Trifecta Weekend 05-06/10 | OCRWC 11-13/10 Current Challenge: First Steps Previous Challenges: 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 Link to post

Gonna trial it for a week and see how life treats me. 1 Quote Ashenmaster the level 1 Lycan RangerSTR 5 | STA 6 | DEX 0 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 0 My Battlelog So Far Current Challenge1st Challenge Link to post
Ashenmaster Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Runs done this week, no weightlifting as my current programming needed more time than I had available for rest days, will pick it up next week. YNAB transactions all added and budgeting has been done. MFP screenshots to come tomorrow night. 1 Quote Ashenmaster the level 1 Lycan RangerSTR 5 | STA 6 | DEX 0 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 0 My Battlelog So Far Current Challenge1st Challenge Link to post

The viability of this kind of thing really depends on how long your runs are, how long your lifting sessions are and the time you've got to fit them in. It is certainly worth trialing each of the possible variants to see what fits with you and your schedule better. Among the Rangers we often wish for an extra day in the week just so we have enough time to do all the things and still be able to get rest in 1 Quote - strava - myfitnesspal - Instagram 2019 Roadmap Spoiler " Always aim for something stupidly crazy." - Charlie Quinn 2019 Races: Cliveden MTR 06/01 | Nuts Challenge 02/03 | Reading Half Marathon 17/03 | W.A.R 27/04 | RRDW 11/05 | Nuclear Oblivion 19/05 | Man vs Lakes 20/07 | Spartan Trifecta Weekend 05-06/10 | OCRWC 11-13/10 Current Challenge: First Steps Previous Challenges: 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 Link to post
Ashenmaster Posted June 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Runs done again this week, sorting screenshots out is proving to be a pain so gonna introduce it when I can find a less painful way to do it. Missed logging calories on saturday unfortunately but hit every other day. Lifted twice this week but felt a twinge in one of my knees on squats so decided to wave off the third day to avoid an injury.

Biggest obstacle I think is going to be preventing injury, my knees are already giving me some grief and I really don't want to antagonise it too much. I might trial alternate days and see if that helps.

Ashenmaster Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Couple of days late because of the joys of life and work. Logged everyday last week on MFP, Ran 3 times however I passed on lifting, my knee started really clicking on squats and generally not feeling as strong, I'm not chancing an injury so I'm going to drop it as a goal for now. YNAB is also logged and up to date. Quote Ashenmaster the level 1 Lycan RangerSTR 5 | STA 6 | DEX 0 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 0 My Battlelog So Far Current Challenge1st Challenge Link to post

Mine did the same thing the second week I started incorporating squats into my workout routine. Does anyone know why this happens? And I think you're making the right call. After that started happening, I took a week off from squats, just started them again, and it's not happening anymore. Also, you're doing great on everything else, keep it up. Quote Link to post
Ashenmaster Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 So last week and the week before in one post because real life got busy. Managed to run enough and log all my transactions on YNAB. MyFitnessPal was fine the week before but I completely dropped the ball this weekend, noticed I struggled in general on the weekends.
