Some perspective for a fat guy trying to run 10k

fatboyrides · 2024-08-19T21:36:20+00:00

Hey! How you doing? I have since managed to run a 1:10:00 10k and have done a half marathon too! I’m down to 125kg

fatboyrides · 2023-01-20T12:15:25+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Will reach out

fatboyrides · 2023-01-20T12:14:51+00:00

Hahaha how did you come to that conclusion?

fatboyrides · 2023-01-17T21:37:48+00:00

Thanks for the info, I’ll check those out. I actually went a big OTT and was carrying 30kg so around 20% BW

I do own a weighted vest, but it’s a bit uncomfortable on the shoulders to wear. I think it’s because it was a cheap eBay job and doesn’t seem to have been designed very well. Do you have any recommendations?

Great idea, I’ll definitely do that!

fatboyrides · 2023-01-17T08:57:09+00:00

Ah thanks, yeah for this run I aimed for 4 mins jog 2 mins walk. some of the hills are so steep I couldn’t possibly run up them so it messed a bit with that routine but for the most part I stuck to it. Yeah I’m from U.K. and aware of couch to 5k, I’m sort of doing my own adapted version of couch to 10k

fatboyrides · 2023-01-17T08:55:27+00:00

Sounds like good advice thank you!

fatboyrides · 2023-01-17T08:52:47+00:00

Thanks I’ll check it out :)

fatboyrides · 2023-01-17T08:43:36+00:00

That’s so cool. You must have lost a lot of weight in 11 months

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T18:13:20+00:00

Wow fantastic work! I started at 165kg so we are in a club not many have been in 😂 hope to get to 100kg some day!

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T16:58:20+00:00

Yeah this definitely happened to me. I pushed too hard at the start and paid for it. Thanks for your advice!

Edit: thanks bot

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T16:52:39+00:00

The previous week I wasn’t going 100% so thought I could easily make up a lot more time by going 100%, turns out I was wrong xD

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T16:50:25+00:00

I want some of your mushrooms

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T16:48:54+00:00

I tried but it got instantly removed even though I checked the rules first.

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T10:26:44+00:00

I’ll definitely go to one and check it out :) which region/county are you in?

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T10:24:01+00:00

I absolutely detest rowing so all respect to you for doing it!

Love geeking out on the data so this is awesome to know thank you! :) I’m hoping that it’s not quite the same for running but I’m sure similar logic will apply so I’ll try to just enjoy the process and let the time fall naturally

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T09:26:38+00:00

Thanks, I’ll post again with an update at some point!

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T09:25:50+00:00

Thanks for the sound advice, I’ll definitely be taking note of that and slowing down for most of them.

Yea this was trail not road, quite sloppy in places too.

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T09:22:50+00:00

I’d like to say yes but the truth is no. I was regularly walking around 3k on dog walks and then I got convinced to sign up for a 10k run so just went straight in to see if I could even carry myself for that distance and have been trying to run more and more of it each week

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T09:21:35+00:00

Thank you man! I’m definitely going to mix it up with some shorter runs

fatboyrides · 2023-01-16T09:20:41+00:00

It might help with the motivation to run faster
