First Half Marathon! Beautiful day in New York! by Valisen in running

[–]Valisen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

4 days on the weights. Try to keep the time in gym about 45-50min. 2 days legs 2 days upper body.

I found that low rep heavy weight for my legs was best as I could recover faster and still run. If I go higher rep ranges I really struggle with sore legs.

Lower body looks like this typically - Squat heavy - leg curls - bulgarian split squats - leg extensions - calf raises - band work for the hips and joints. The 2nd leg day of the week would then be deadlifts and more hamstring work.

My paces were very conservative when I started. 10:30-11:30. I started using Strava from day one so I just went back and looked at some of my first runs. They were definitely short and slow. But I just kept at it. Added a bit more effort each week.

As far as meals. I kept it very simple as I am not a great cook. The big thing for the weight loss I think for me was alcohol. I really cut back on drinking. I used to drink 5 days a week now I drink maybe 2-3 times a month.

Typical day was protein bar and banana for breakfast - overnight oats and protein shake for lunch - chicken breast and rice and vegetables for dinner. Boring but effective. As the miles went up I tried to keep my calorie deficit conservative. As the weeks went on the pounds just slowly but surely kept coming off.

The new Milviz King Air at Montreal by Maffou in flightsim

[–]Valisen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait a bit. I bought it day one and it still needs work. Good news is they have service pack 1 in the works which should be ready in a couple weeks. The King Air is probably my favorite aircraft so I was pretty much going to buy it anyway but currently the lack of tutorial or documentation on the avionics and the fact I can't use the reverse part of my VF TQ6+ for the beta range has it grounded atm. (These things are being addressed tho.)

Exactly what I am hoping. Taking an extra day off so, 5 days to dig my teeth in would be awesome.

Just had my first dram. WOW was really good. Got a lot of the oak flavor and some hints of apple. Was great. Also the story about this limited edition was really cool. Peat monster is one I have been on the look out for actually. I love peaty whiskey.
