18ck Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Het 18ck! you are doing great!, I just saw your slacklining video, it looks like the most fun way to break an arm (second to the bike maybe), so I should give it a try!!It's so great! Good core and balance work. Also noticed - in my ongoing man-crush on Scott Jurek - that he mentions using it in his biog too, which made me feel good about my purchase!How goes the monkeyness?

nanako Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 So we've arranged for a bank holiday on your birthday specifically for you and what do you do ? Go and run a 10K ? ;-) Sounds like a good plan, quite impressive ! Love the slacklining by the way. Tried it only once back in Berlin in a park but kept falling off after 3 steps. Might get one for the summer ... once I've lost a few pounds, hopefully. Though I might get more laughs now, falling off. And better padding. :-) Level 3 Human Assassin STR 6 DEX 7 STA 8 CON 1 WIS 9 CHA 3 challenges 1 2 3 daily battle log 6 months goals Link to comment

nanako Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ignoring the fact that you can do 160 pushups (!!!) and burpees after that (!!!). Wait, 2K fast ? That sounds clever. I only ever do speed training with the club, and that's an hour or so of fartlek, sprints, games and such, typically to the point of, well, regurgitation, would never do that on my own. But 2K fast ? Can't be more than 10 minutes can it ? Does that work (as in make you faster) ? Sounds intriguing. That would fit into my schedule really, really well ...

18ck Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just to unboast my boast a bit, the 160 was in 8 sets as part of the 100 pushups in 6 weeks program I've been doing for the past 20 weeks or so... And even then I was meant to do 175 but I couldn't.As for the 2k, I'm working on a faster gait and it's pretty good but I can't keep it up for my usual distance (about 11 or 12k) so I'm doing it on short bursts to try and get my muscles used to it. So, it's fast for me but it's not like an all-out sprint!
