aquadwayne Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 So I am now up to a point where I can run 3.5 mi without stopping. It's not at a really fast pace or anything, but when I started exercising 9 months ago, I couldn't jog for 30 seconds without feeling like I was going to die. Now I can jog for 45 minutes without much trouble. I'm going to run a 5k in the near future and want to run in the Bix next August which is a 7 mile run. I also learned last weekend that I can do pushups with claps. I've never been able to do more than 5-10 normal pushups, but now I can do 40-50. I decided to try clapping in between reps and found out that I now have the upper body strength to do it. Once I'm better at these, I want to tackle triangle pushups and then one handed pushups. On a side note, I have also learned I have the ability to do a pullup. It is only 1 right now, but I've never done a pullup in my entire life until a week or two ago. The only way to go is up.

Briniel Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Wooooot! So much awesome stuff that you can do now That's great. And 45 minutes for 5k is a good starting time. I'm currently at 40 minutes and I bet you'll get there soon I'm totally jealous of your pushup-skills, though, I can't even do one. Keep it up and keep us updated!

northman88 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I want to try clapping pushups. I've progressed from regular pushups, to triangle, to pseudo-planche, so I think I should have the strength required (maybe for just a couple). Clapping pushups would definitely be fun for showing off. Congrats on your progress!
