Nice, might have to check it out if I decide to switch up my gym membership. I’m just getting back into a routine so that speed is still a few months away in my training I think.
Yeah the dumbbells aren’t that heavy there (75lb max) and they only have Smith Machines (well they have a lot of other cable/fixed machines) so its not the best main gym, but could be a good add on gym for only $10/mo (24/7 is a big draw for me). I was really excited to see it went up to 14mph though. I train really well on treadmills. I have issues with keeping pace, so it helps me (I usually blast like a rocket in the start of a race and hold on for dear life at the end - opposite of what running coaches tell you to do). I would love to break 5min on 5th ave on or before 2020. I think both of us are around the same age so its going to be easier sooner than later. But, I did see guys (on the website results) last year who were late 40s still breaking 5min which is impressive.
In all honesty though breaking 5min for me is going to take quitting:
-
drinking
-
smoking
-
cheese
-
limit fats/butter/creams
Gaining strength is much different than breaking the 5min barrier for me. I don’t drink or smoke that much but tonight purposely had steamed broccoli and red potatoes (no cheese or butter fml), peanut butter, wheat bread. I’m beginning the journey but not fully committed to Sept 2017. Maybe a slow ‘jog’ to making it in 2018.
Also, it sucks going out with friends and just chugging water.
Week 4 update - ran a 5k in 28 minutes. Probably the longest continuous distance I’ve run since high school. Thanks all for the continued support.
You’re an embarrassment.
Yeah, I haven’t started any sort of serious training but am picking away at it, contemplating making a push for September.
True. Not everybody is fit to post on AF. (No pun intended.)
Man you’re a real dick Black Swan. The guy is working on improving himself. How about a little encouragement instead of using it as an opportunity to slob your own nob while sh!tting on him?
Shut your trap, Charlie. Sub-18 5k or hacksaw. It’s the AF way.
Don’t get your panties in a bunch Palantir, yes, 9 minute splits is an abysmal pace. But I’m also just f*cking with him. I wouldn’t expect you to understand, but it’s this thing guys sometimes do.
Turd
fvck off dipsh!t. You’re obviously someone who used to hang around here under a different name. I don’t know any of you but perhaps you’re this turd guy. You sound like one.
Yeah Charlie work is Turd. He outed himself when he described his ridiculous crossfit regimen in the other thread. I miss the old turd pre-trump days
did the ghee ( Indian butter) business went down hill my friend ? Self help books no longer helping ? If you don’t know this Mr.Turd why did you get angry?
i don’t even lift bro.
what you do ?
for sport? Troll on the Internet. For example I know meatheads love to bash people for sh!tty form so I posted that ridiculous workout knowing it would get the ball rolling. The Internet is predictable.
Good
Turd is all butt hurt that his boy AJ is going through a blender
in the movie “last tango in paris” the main protagonist has a famous line "go get the butter " because he wants to sodomiZe someone, turd likes butter because…
