Was it more or less barebones than what I described? Haha
FWIW, re: weight - they reported me at 170lbs with a "machine scanned weight" of 168.6lb which matched my expectation (my at home morning weigh in had me at 169 that day). I was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a t-shirt and re-looking at my scan mine looks alright.
Sketchy AF just as Mike said. They keep the doors locked I'm guessing cause too many people just barged in. My lean body mass honestly was lower than I expected, and I'm questioning if I need to start taking calcium supplements now

But I had half my head cut off, the machine can only read up to 190CM lmao
Tall ppl problems. There's a dad in my son's TKD class who doesn't fit through doors without bending down around it. I can't imagine bed shopping.
Thailand unleashed something in me I didn't know was there
The love for ladyboys?

Grow up fuckin Peter Pan and get a good nights rest.
- Wanted to quit after 1KM
- 1mm rain
- already tired from pickleball + gym
- didn’t hit protein yesterday
- caloric deficit
- fasted + poor sleep
- Tried to sprint the last KM, had the energy to do so, so maybe had another 5-10KM in the tank.
Did my first half to celebrate 40 runs lifetime, did seven 10km runs before this.
That's a brutal run with the pollution right next to major roads though. I ran around the Killarney community center and never again. Running along Rupert/Kerr was so bad, any gains you had from exercise you lose from breathing in all the fumes.
I remember being asked (while at work) if I was working out because I'm ready date again. I actually lol'd because that is absolutely NOT the reason I was lifting weights at all. The idea itself seemed absurd and still seems ridiculous to me now. IMO your health is about you and it's for you. But I guess if it helps motivate you then sure go ahead but I don't think in the long run this mentality will benefit you.

I tried doing the zone 2 thing, but because I'm a beginner my HR was stuck at 155-170 for 6:30-7:00 easy runs. My friends said just run as fast as you want as long as it's easy and it feels like you can go forever.
HR went down around run 33 to 149-159. But also cardio for all my sports feels like I have unlimited energy now.

Are you training for that, Gerbs?
I just started running 3 months ago, not training for anything lol. Only doing it because I hate running and I get softer by the day if I don't do difficult things.
I'll collect all the local race medals once I clear
- 25min 5KM
- 50min 10KM
- 30KM casually

Gymmed after too! Surprisingly not sore or tired at all, perks of being young I guess.
hate to break it to you but race medals for 10k don't start till like sub 40m even for the smallest races! you should try the parkrun 5k tho. its timed and free.
Sorry, race for medals as in casually join a full marathon and finish with a mid time. Running will always be for heart health.
I hate running and don't care for it. The amount of volume and dedication to get sub 45min 10KM or sub 22 5KM is insane. My neighbour placed pretty well at an ultra recently and she barely touches 40Min 10KM
i was running sub 50 with about 3-4 months of dedicated training in my 30s, maybe about 46-47m or so... a lot of 5k speedwork to get there, i don't think i could do that again.
still some people with natural athleticism would wipe the floor with me who don't even run. running has so much to do with natural biomechanics than it has to do with cardio, its crazy.

Yeah, some people are just gifted.
For what it's worth, I ran a half-marathon in 1:47 in my 30s. My quickest 10K time was 47:xx.

I will chase sub 60min and then sub 50min 10KM on your behalf. Running at 220-230lbs vs 199lbs atm is night and day difference, joints feel so much better. Although, it does start creaking after 15KM.
Gonna spam leg days + tempo to push my pace down. I've been having outer meniscus knee pain until I started doing split squats again. Had to cancel vball cause I couldn't even jump for 2-3 days after a 3KM run
This is kind of cool about the Dexa Scan, it reveals if you have mild scoliosis
Supa, what did yours look like?
