Earlier
this month I described how I'd beaten a long-standing PB at the gym
after a few weeks of 'Social Dieting'-
eating clean unless it's a social occasion; buying clean in the
supermarket- no sweet treats or takeaways- and only drinking alcohol
or getting a takeaway if with friends. It worked. I've since lapsed
on this, and have bought some junk food in Tesco, and I've not
managed to lift that particular weight- 2x40kg dumbbell fly- since.
Well, duh.
The
oldest record I have is 10-minute run, which I managed 14.1km/ph at,
back in May 2013. I've tried this in more recent weeks, running at
that speed, and managed about 4 minutes if I really pushed myself. I
am a LOT heavier than I was 6 years ago. I have the feeling that if I
genuinely focussed on this movement until I beat it, I'd lose most of
my strength. No thanks. So, I'm going to give this a bash for a month
only. I'll still do hand weights at home, probably while watching
Breaking Bad S5 and Designated Survivor S2, and I'll throw in an
outdoor run that will take about 45 mins. I might even do a Parkrun.
This
starts now!
