Reika Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Last week, I officially overcame obesity after being morbidly obese my entire adult life and I bought myself my first ever little black dress (size 12!!) and high heels. So, I'm only overweight now, something that seems entirely surmountable compared to being morbidly obese only 8 months ago.. Some of my current PR's (still seeking improvement but feeling pretty awesome about them anyway) 5KM run: 29:4310KM run 63:452000m swim 55:00Squat: 150 lbsDeadlift: 200 lbsBenchpress: 90lbs 2 Quote Link to comment

K-Prime Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yowza! You're looking GREAT. I'm still working on my goal of getting my 5K under 30 minutes, so I'm also jealous of your speed.

Reika Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yowza! You're looking GREAT. I'm still working on my goal of getting my 5K under 30 minutes, so I'm also jealous of your speed. I've only been able to do that time once, I haven't been able to replicate it. It was a good day that day. I'm sitting at around 31-33 minutes on average. I found that doing HIIT sprints and hill sprints has helped my time most. When I started doing 1 minute sprint ~ 30 seconds rest.. etc for about 20-30 minutes at a time, I found that my speed for a consistent run started to increase a lot more. Quote Link to comment
K-Prime Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah, I've started doing some research into intervals. I joined a soccer league for the first time this summer and was by far the slowest person on the team. I think I'm going to incorporate it into my next challenge.
