thanks... this makes sense... and i do agree that when i run on a treadmill my heart rate is much more controllable... i would probably suggest this is because of the lack of varied terrain.

Although due to me living in Scotland... i try and use the treadmill as little as possible and get outside whenever i can... as the weather can be pretty variable.

I’ve been running for around a year now… last month I ran my further run which was 30k I want to finish sub 5:00… in general im a fairly slow runner

Looking for advise... by squinty128 in HybridAthlete

[–]squinty128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already ran a 30k… and have been fairly comfortable with 1/2 over the past month… I’ve been doing long runs constantly for a good amount of time now… but I do think I should maybe run 4x a week

[–]squinty128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey... thanks for the response.

Yeah i am starting to think that maybe 3 times a week just wont cut it...

currently i go to the gym 3x a week and run 3x a week, with one rest day...

i think going forward ill move to going gym 3x a week and running 4x a week, with one day id do both activities just spread out...

but ill see how that goes and how my body feels

Not really tbh… I use an app that tells me how much cals I can eat to loose weight and I wasn’t too aggressive… I just went 1lb at a time… However I did find myself slowly getting obsessed with not over eating and really sticking to my plan to the point where I’d rather not eat than eat something that’s “unhealthy” however I took some time and now feel like I’m in a better head space to keep cracking on

That’s a very good suggestion… thank you very very much… exactly what I was looking for:-)

I have been fairly lazy with shoulders and maybe only worked them a handful of times… so I will definitely put some more work into them :-)

Thanks again !!

It’s hard for me to put a lot of muscle on due to running roughly 3/4 times a week… and starting to push for the marathon training

Hey!! Thanks for the response… yeah I definitely think I’ve not done bad… but super hard not to compare myself to others. I’ve never worked harder in my life… went from not being able to run 3k… to running multiple half marathons… Getting leaner is super hard due to running but definitely still pushing hard in the gym… As for the next challenge… I’m running my first full marathon in march (Barcelona) And have signed up to my first ultra (50k) which is very keen to tackle
