303abuser it’s VO2 Max rather than max/sprint for three minutes. All-out is 0-20 seconds maybe a few seconds more

303abuser

Along_the_Wire Yeah that’s probably a good way to describe it and, basically, improving my vo2 max is one of the primary goals of that workout.

303abuser long runs lead to lower testosterone 😀

Jules72 Haha I know. I did a baseline test in february and I’ll do another in august after all the running I’m doing. I’ve actually been considering trt for a while anyways, but this will help make that decision.

On a side note, I ran a fast 5 km on Saturday which has got me motivated again. I’ve adjusted my training a little to incorporate more sprints and a few less kms. I’ll likely do more trail running too, just to keep some of the wear and tear off my knees and for some additional variety.

303abuser I’ve mentioned his book/podcast on here before, but Matt Roberts (celeb PT) recommends the following for boosting testosterone… his package contains capsules from Time Health:

Maca Root capsules
Oyster meat capsules
Adaptogen complex 6 capsules
Resveratrol capsules
High strength vit D and K capsules (this last one is from Amino Man)

I’ve never felt in better health physically 303 👍💪

Jules72 Thanks, I’ll check that stuff out. I’m already taking a handful of supplements every day, a few more can’t hurt. I’d much rather not deal with hormone replacements, but we’ll see how it shakes out. I actually feel pretty good generally speaking and I’m about as fit as I’ve ever been, just had a low-normal test result when I was dealing with the fallout from covid.

Jules72 what’s the purpose and benefit of boosting testosterone?

303abuser your missus will also be a beneficiary… get on it!

I’m officially registered for a half marathon in august and I might do a 7 km trail race in July. That’ll give me something to work toward over the summer.

Good luck.mate The last time I registered for charity event was back in 2018 when I rode the London to Brighton off-road MTB challenge. Over 70 miles. It certainly focused the mind and since then I’ve quit smoking the weed. I can’t even stand the smell of it now.

303abuser

Dubman Thanks, I’m looking forward to it. I did 21 km of half road/half trail with some brutal hills on Sunday in just under 2 hours, so my 1:44 goal time should be achievable on a flat course. I’ll find out I guess.

That sounds like a long off road ride, I may try something like that in the future. For now I’m enjoying the simplicity of running. And I’m keeping smoking to a minimum, but edibles are a key part of my recovery strategy every week.

Dubman

I haven’t been on the bike for a Few weeks now due to my new business. I’m working much longer hours which doesn’t help. I did think about running again but I much prefer riding up the downs.

303abuser

Dubman I think at this stage of life, it comes down to doing things you enjoy. This fills my need to be competitive and should get me into pretty decent shape. How’s the new business going?

Dubman

303abuser
It’s doing alright. The price of fuel is really hitting my profits and there’s a lot of competition that are doing jobs for silly money. I’m just waiting for a fuel card to arrive so that will save me some money. I also looked at buying a brand new van but was told that it’s very hard to get credit these days if you’re a sole trader.

303abuser

Dubman I hear you with gas prices, they’re killing me too. Glad it’s going ok so far, getting going is always the hardest part.

I’ve came here to say that I’ve never felt larger and more disorganised than ever at home and it’s affecting everything. Work feels chaotic when it really isn’t, it’s just the feeling being in a bit of a mess is causing and I am not exercising. I hate feeling like this and I need to sort this out.

Along_the_Wire

NasserAlazzawi There’s a solution to this very common problem Nazz my old son.

Back at it, felt great to hit the badminton court. Slammed some noob with brand new $150 trainers who works in Amazon, 11-3.

Will probably get back on the IF this week as well.
