The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

Go for longer distance first at the same pace..then..when that gets too easy..increase the speed

I ran a 5k with varying inclines a few weeks back at 5.5mph.
You may not know, but about a year and a half ago I was 323lbs and couldn't walk 2.5mph for 20m (32 years old). Now I'm 34 and 227. I have another 25lbs to go and I'll be ready to rock.

I have two bad knees (surgery twice on one already) and one bad ankle, for me intensity has to be the key if I'm going to run. I just hate most cardio, but I love to run.

Skip has over 44 k in post and is a sure Hall of Famer. Within a year he will be a Founding Father. Now he needs to win the Greatest of All Time Tournament. If he did that he could actually beat Phob to 100k and be the Charting Member of the Garden of the Gods???

I have a bad knee too..I use the elliptical machine until I lose enough weight so running is easy..

In the first two months I worked my way up to where I could walk at 3.0mph for an hour. I did 45m every morning and 1 hour every night, 7 days a week, for months. When I got the weight down to 235 (where my worst knee could handle it) I began running and lifting weights again. Now I run 5 days a week for 30m and lift 4 days a week.

good for you man, that's cool
I have been pretty fortunate, jobs that include physical activity, the problem is when you slow down for a few months it hikes on you really quick.
I just hit 230 a few months ago. down to 210, before my reversal surgery, then back up to 220, working it back down 215 now.
but this is the biggest I've ever been, at 5'10" I got some gut.
The diet is the worst part. I want so bad to go and drop about a half dozen of the home-made chocolate chip cookies my wife and son made today, but I've already had 4.
And to think as a teen-ager on the varsity swim team I used to eat a 5,000 calorie a day diet and I was 6ft tall, 135lbs. I graduated at 150lbs.

It makes you feel better too..them endorfens kick in..kind of like a natural high..your lucky you did it while you still could..had you waited another 10 years it might have been a lot harder to lose the weight..I'm 41..and I have to work out like a maniac just to stay the same
