Losing the midriff "wobble" or the TAN diet/exercise thread

Started brisk walking a good two weeks ago. About 12 km in 2 hours types.

Slowly incorporating running , did about a 2km run after a 6km walk today. Didn’t feel out of breath.

Will take some time for me to get back to running 5km in 25. Not even sure I’d want to even go for that. Let alone start training again for the half marathon.

I get that I’m supposed to keep challenging to get better times but for the life of me , can’t seem to find the motivation

First run today for quite some time.
Ran around my golf course, as it’s closed Sundays to make it at least a bit less boring.
Started at the first tee and finished at the 18th green.
6.09 km in 44 minutes.
Struggled a bit and walked sections, but enjoyed it.

That’s still decent in my book. Not sure I could do that.

It’s a start. Slow if you consider that I was doing 10k in 50 min during the half marathon training

Did a 9.5km run in 62 minutes.

Damn I’ve become so slow. Comparing these times to my past times just doesn’t seem to work

Shouldn’t take you long to get back there I would think.

I spent 35 minutes in a treadmill this morning. 4.7 km I think it was. It wasn’t a run where I pushed it hard, preferring to concentrate on maintaining a constant pace for that entire duration.

Used to be an avid golfer but got the chipping yips and stopped playing, St Andrews would have been a dream place to live

A friend af mine who is a 2.3 handicapper played the old course with a caddy and told me it is not a course for a 20 handicapper.

There are much better courses for someone with your ability and for much less then the £250 without caddie they will charge you.

The Old Course is not even the second hardest course in the town

I take your word for it because as a 20 handicapper I stay away from courses like that. :mx_claus:

Why is leg day so bloody brutal?

Trained Friday lunch time and despite two decent walks to get things moving I’m still moving like below
