looking at starting it as I cannot run for peanuts. any tips?

Hmm not really the app is pretty self explanatory. I had a rest day between each day as each week is 3 days. Performing the running at the same time each day I found helped to not miss a day out of the week. Good luck with it

Just started running again. Was 105KG now down to 85KG. Goal for April Canberra marathon is 75KG.

Cant do any more than 10ks without injury at the moment as I'm too heavy still (176cm).

5Ks takes just under 30 mins. Long way to go but I've got 3 months.

Well hit a bit of a snag and stuffed my left knee doing a bit too much. Did 19K's with th BIL and now can only do about 3ks before the knee gives way again. I've gone back to the bike and gym to try and give some strength.

Last 5 ks was a killer. Need more ks in legs:

so I havent trained legs for over 5 weeks. First session back i did some squats which hurt to say the least.

Anyway, that was monday, my legs are still real tight and it hurts to walk. My problem is that I have to play oztag tonight, any tips on what I should do prior to the game to loosen them up a bit and help me be able to run and sprint????

So how'd you end up playing oztag? I have been training my legs quite frequently now and it's becoming harder for me to achieve sore legs after a workout, which is somewhat of a good thing.

I haven't heard of couch to 5 k. Just did a quick search on google and seems interesting. Thanks for sharing brotato.

i was real stiff for the first few runs, then loosened up towards the end but it didnt feel like i was as quick as i normally am.

once i cooled down, i felt it, legs cramped up was so hard to get out of my car

If your getting back into legs and hitting it hard with sprints or endurance, Chuck some ice on calfs or hammys, Or if near a river jump in! 15x 100m sprints with the 100m job inbetween last night, quite sore...

Here be a thread to discuss the activity of running. The good news is that it can't fail and sink to page 2 because we don't have a page 2 yet :happy:

Some topics to kick us off...

What kind of running do you do?

How far do you run and in what time?

Running for fitness or to compete?

Upcoming running events?

Run Melbourne is on the 17th of July...who is going? Why the **** not?

I train at a kickboxing gym and part of the daily routine is a 3.5km run. Back when I used to be fit I could do it in about 10 minutes on a good day. These days it takes me double that. It has up and down hills and mostly is on hard surface. Running is probably one of the best exercises in my opinion, whether on its own or as a warm up or post exercise. It does take its toll on your legs and lower back though especially when running on footpath/road. I run at 6.30 in the arvo and its a medium pace jog but if I'm looking to get fit then its a much faster pace and usually try to sprint the last few metres.

  • 3 weeks later...

After 7 weeks of holidays which consisted of 3 cardio sessions, managed to knock out a 2.4km at 8:46..

Thinking of switching to those toe shoes.. Learn to run old school and build some bigger calves :D

ive never been in this thread, and bam, something i can relate to.

I use vibram 5 fingers, used to do all my lifts in them as well.

Definitely build up leg and ankle support. Can be painful at first. Ironic moment yesterday when someone said ill break my ankle in those because they don't have any support...within 5 mins he was on the ground because of unstable footwear.

Bahah teach him to shut his mouth..

Apparently they are really good for developing better balance whilst not wearing normal shoes...

Normal shoes have stuffed up the way our feet and muscles develop

5000 years ago, if you didn't run bare foot... You were eaten :D

its not even that many years ago, even back to 1900's..

3 months is all it took for a 10yr olds foot to deform after 3 months of shoe wearing.

basically like anything, they strengthen weak spots = better

birthdayshoes.com is a good site

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
