Rotorburn Leaderboard.
- Thread starter Steve-0
- Start date
That was possibly be me but I can't remember exactly what it was, it was 5:40something which just won't cut it for the leaderboard. I'll try to get a proper time soon, will probably be around the 4:30 mark though.
I did however get a time to put up on the marathon board. I said it wouldn't be pretty but courtesy of my left calf detonating at the 17k mark it was absolute shit. Fotunately I'm not too bright so I did make it to the line in about 4:58. I'll get the exact time when they come up, my Garmin says 5:00.52 but I did forget to turn it off till well after I got into the medical tent.

We used to do 50+ military style pushups at school training when we were in year 10. I don't see it as that hard if you have a lean body.

Yep, upper arms should be horizontal at the bottom of the dip. Ill try them again in a week or two, getting over a tweaked back at the moment..
Pull ups? wide, close shoulder width and over or under hand grip
Im assuming its shoulder width under hand grip? I might hit some up know. also whats the limit of lowering and up, im guessing obvious chin over bar but lowering how low? horizontal arms? full lower where at.....
If its chin over and lower to right angle or bicep horizontal. Under grip shoulder width. Put me down for 20.

Cheers Steve I didn't see your other reply. My last question was about the box jump I believe. I had a trawl through but must have missed it sorry. Yeah rules might be a good idea, lots of variations on some of them.I replied to you last time you asked
Each pullup must be chin to the bar and dropped to full extension. No kipping. Dead hang all the way!
I really need to post up some rules, I haven't had much time to do that lately. Will be soon!
Help keep results on a even playing field. I'll see how My weak ass manages dead hang pull ups aha. Cheers. And I'll check out the box jump reply.
Edit: found it this time haha. Cheers. I forgot a asked about pull ups.
I might have to see if If I can still jump onto a bin. It's been a while it's a solid 140ish I think so fingers crossed

Funny story that. I decided to stick to the half. Training was going well and was on track until the last month when I let it slip pretty bad and only did about 30ks for the month (in contrast to the 110+ks per month for the previous 3). But was still confident of running under 2hrs as i'd done 19k at 5.30 pace 5 weeks prior.
Race day... my body shut down hard at the 20k mark and I got pulled off the course. I was seriously delirious and confused, could barely remember my own name. Medics ended up sticking a bag of fluids through an IV into me which corrected things a bit.
Lessons learnt:
1) Training should mimic race. Start time was 6am. I didn't do any early morning runs at all in training, it was always late arvo or evening (with a days worth of food onboard)
2) Nutrition - if you plan on eating supplements (endura) on race day, train on it or ya stomach is going to flip out. I didn't put a lot of time into working out what works for me and I got stung.
3) Eat more the day before, I was afraid to eat big the day before to avoid any possibility of having to drop the kids off at the pool mid run. Dumb.
4) Pace - ran the first 10 ks too quick - 15 sec per k faster than target pace seemed cool at the time but sapped me and left me empty.
So, long answer but that's what happened. I'm still training and am going again next year, wiser and better prepared.

There's definitely something going on! 170x10 is a respectable squat, but a 125kg deadlift is something even Plow could do. :eyebrows:
Just kidding, I love you plow.

Well good to hear you enjoyed it enough to do it again. The experience can be a steep learning curve, keep going and you'll smash it!
And now you've got 12 months to build up to the marathon
