Wound up doing 10km. Cut 42 seconds off my pb per-km pace. 7 minutes off my 10km pb time. Interesting thing about the Saucony ones I tried - as I walked and my foot rolled forward, there seemed to be no support under the toes and it was like falling off a cliff from the ball of my foot onward...

Wound up going to Athletes Foot today and picked up a pair of Brooks Glycerin 18s on sale. Tried on a few different shoes and they fitted and felt the best. I'll see how they go after 15km soon.

They did before!!!

One thing to be aware of if you suffer or have suffered depression: coming off ketosis from a longer fast and having a greater than normal amount of carbs can provoke a depressive episode lasting a day or two. That bit me a couple of weeks ago after a 48-hour fast. "ketosis optimises the...

7.1kg for the month, surprised me due to the whole Christmas thing. I was also busy after New Year and had a nine day break from walking plus a lot of cafe food. A tad over 200km total for the month, but that includes upping the pace to interval sprint/run/jog/****me in the last 3.5km of each...

I think I need some new shoes. That's about 700km hard walking. I had a look at the running thread on lifestyle board and it freaked me out. Up until now I've bought shoes on the basis that I'll try them on in store and if they seem to fit OK and I can walk around in them I'll spend the $100 or...

Still sticking with OMAD. Breakfast is three fish oil tablets, three teaspoons of coconut oil, half a glass of water with a good slug of ACV, a few spoons of Greek yoghurt, some macadamias, a small assortment of berries, and half an avo. I eat breakfast while I'm cooking dinner...

Where do we find out how many beancoins we have earned?

5.5kg for the month. Standardised on a 14.5km walk that takes 2h10ish. Best pace 12.1km at 9:15/km. 253km for the month. A little disappointed that I haven't lost more, but due to weather (heat, not rain), covid jab etc I've had nine rest days this month plus all the Christmas carbs in the last...

Incline leg press shits me to tears, you get bandy-legged shortarse Eastern Mediterraneans surrounded by their mirin' crew "leg pressing" 350kg barely moving their knees and "pressing" about 6 inches. WORK DONE = FORCE TIMES DISTANCE you ****s, look at me ****ing sideways and smirk as I turn a...

Nah. If it was straight across to another roof at the same height, yes, degree of difficulty applies. That was just bog standard parkour. I know this from years of experience watching youtube.

8.8kg for the month. Could have been more but it's a hot day and I've been putting a lot of water away. Gut measurement -8cm. I've gone up a belt notch and should really take it in another. Both pairs of trackies (drawstring tied years ago) fail to stay up with anything in the pockets, or if I...

And I've finally caught up in the thread! I've been spending some time over the last few days watching youtubes on IF and the processes your body goes through. My own accidental shift towards LC and 2MAD has now become a definite LCHF and OMAD decision. My goals at this stage are weight loss...

^^^ this ^^^ Over the last few years I have rarely slept through the night. In the last month after diet change and skipped dinners (=longer fasts) it has improved. Wednesday night and last night, the first two 24-hour fasts, I slept like a log for 6 hours and woke up fully refreshed and ready...

Found out about IF a couple of days ago, just did 24 hours and I'm still here. Will go back and read the thread. Don't be surprised if there's some necroreplies come up.

I changed what and how I eat about four weeks ago. Three big junk meals + snacks, dinner usually started cooking after 10pm and still scarfed down a pre-bedtime snack. I went cold turkey to a healthier breakfast, big salad for lunch, and healthier dinner with no snacks, and 1 cup of tea with...

Busted it today. 20.85km in 3h26m, 9:53 per km. I'm done. Feet are better than expected*, I used proper dressings on the sore bits, double socked and reefed down on the heel locks. Don't know why I didn't think of doing that before. Only two significant new blisters. I took a muesli bar with...

Thanks Joker. Goals after last Saturday's 15km: 3 hour walk, then a 20km walk Today 18.5km in 3h03m. Under 10min/km pace the whole way. Was thinking "should I keep going for another ten minutes before turning around?" but I'm glad I stopped when I did, the last km was a bit wobbly. The big...

So today (Saturday) was planning on a 7-8km walk. CBF turning around so kept going. 15.4km in 2h40m including 2km through knee-deep water. I impressed myself.

...aaaaand after a week of delays due to a major kerfuffle at work, we had a fantastic lunch followed by sheltering from the rain and cold in a park where we talked for another hour, punctuated by smooches. As ****ed up as my life has been, she's had it worse, and I'm happy to take it slow. No...

Thanks Rask. 13.5km in 2h13m a couple of days ago, feet are starting to take the brunt so did an 8km recovery yesterday. Left little toe is curled sideways under the fourth toe and is basically one big blister, another big one under the ball of my right foot, and chewed out my heel. Nothing a...

You're right of course. Every day I have to keep telling myself I'm doing it for me and not anyone else, still got that little voice in my ear telling me I'm a liar. The problem with going it alone is progress would be so much better and healthier if I had someone else affirming and encouraging...

10.2km today at 9:56/km. :thumbsu: Compared to the 3.5km that nearly killed me a week and a half ago... you fit buggers can get the full Benny experience by strapping on a couple of 25kg bags of cement and doing the same Good seeing the improvements happening in real time. I'm actually kind of...

I totally agree. However, there was such an upheaval in my life that going cold turkey seems to have gone straight under the radar. I expected massive caffeine withdrawals going from 7-8 cups a day to one. Nope. Same with the junk food. There's a pack of licorice bullets left that I used to...

Hopefully this thread can be resurrected to its earlier top form... I was with my ex for nearly 35 years. We were both immature and naive when we got married. First real relationship for both of us. We were the last unmarried ones in our friends circle and we both kind of shrugged and said why...

As threatened, the baseline pics (although not truly baseline, I've already dropped about 5kg in the six weeks beforehand) are in the new thread: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-benny-project.1291353/

1h22 walk + 15 min erg today, and the cold shower was straight cold. :thumbsu: Wondering what non-equipment exercises I can introduce to make a start on my core and upper body?

I am eminently qualified. There's guns under there somewhere.

I also learned that my limit with the fasting is around 12pm - the other day I had some work to do before going out and didn't start walking until after 11. About 12:15 I started to crash and had to get some food in pronto. Recovered in 15 minutes and then cooked breakfast.

Good health and general fitness is where I want to get to, have no pretense that I'll look like showdownhero unless I go well below my target of 92kg. That was my "happy weight" 13 years ago where I pretty much ate what I liked and training/sport output kept it there. Once I achieve it I may...
