I found your channel, and I've subbed as your goals are similar to mine. One month ago I weighed 13 st 12lbs and I'm now 13 stone by no longer eating snacks, running , swimming, and weight trg. My park run times have come down from 30 + to 28. Long way to go, but I have new mindset to achieve goals I will watch your progress
Fantastic. You are making great progress. It is always good to hear about people who are taking such positive steps forward. Keep up and great work and thanks for subbing!
Just come across your channel. Very balanced and sensible. Honest about where you've been and are currently and also your goals 70.1 Probably one of the best real life /expectations videos I've seen. I've subbed
Hi Marcus, I was just thinking the same about leg strength and heart rate, I'm 68 now and have trouble getting my Park Run heart rate up above 140 and I'm not puffing and blowing like I used to, legs feel dead, so can't push any harder, I've started doing hill work again to see if it helps, Great vid B.T.W enjoyed that, sounds like in a few months you will be back at the front of Park Run.
It's a tricky one this. I find that when I lose fitness, it is always at a muscular and neurological level first: I simply lose the ability to fire muscle groups in a coordinated way at speed. This affects me far more than the loss of cardiovascular fitness. You are right because I find that hill work, strides, leg strength work all helps. In time everything seems to click back into place. Good luck and keep on running!
I’ve run a lot of races 5k to marathons and even fell races I don’t do many races just the odd one or two ,now I’ve started doing parks runs at Blackburn I’m got do a different one this weekend plus I’ve subbed to your channel to watch your progress
Great work out there, looked like a fun course despite the dead turns haha and very friendly, just stumbled across your channel so will definitely look forward to your future videos 👊👊🔥🔥
Great video - subscribed as well. Just embarking on my own return to running fitness, got about 4 mins to find over 5k, and around 2-3 stone to (try! and) shed. Be interesting to see how things pan out 👊
@@johnspeakman1080 Not sure how old you are . But I have been running all my life was a 2.38 marathon runner. I now am 65 and I run 21 for 5k and win most of my age group . Do a lot of speed work and base mileage of 30 a week. Half mile time of 2.43 and mile time 5.54. I thought you did great . I have never seen a guy over 60 run 19 something and I have been in a lot of races. You must be in your 50s.
@@krakhour2I knew a guy who ran 10 miles in less than 1h at the age of 60y. 😮 I'm now 58y and last year did it in 63. And I'm hoping for sub40 at 60y over 10k. But honestly, my main motivation is to stay healthy.
