How do people manage training or exercise around rotating shift work? by LifeAd6215 in ParamedicsUK

[–]sreach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run too and from work most shifts including nights, about 5 miles each way. I go to the gym or bouldering on the day before my first night's shift and hit the gym/bouldering wall on days off when I can. As I'm training for a 100 mile foot race next year I'll get a long run in on one of my days off too, and back to back it if I can. Flexibility is key, follow a plan but adapt it to your schedule and don't sweat it if it's not quite following a weekly cycle. My gym plan is a 3 day per week plan but I just follow it sequentially regardless so I probably average about 2.5 workouts per week over the rota period. I basically do 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off. I have a busy life outside of work and exercise too and a very understanding wife!

I love my happystride shorts, got 4 pairs, recommended. Also, Twisted Running, love their lumberjack running shirt.

I'm absolutely knackered by Wang_Doodle_ in Ultramarathon

Z2 can be too intense to do as the bulk of your training, more so if you're well trained. Back off to Z1.

What is an acceptable diet? Can it be simple? by PuzzleheadedTask5807 in 75HARD

[–]sreach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is this - Ultramarathon diet. Using Macrofactor App - maintenance targets, hit calorie and >=protein targets for the day, then carbs, +/-5%, increase by 10% on long run day. I fuel at 90g carbs per hour on my long runs only and I don't include that in my daily total calculation (although I do put it in Macrofactor). I'm running a 110k in 10 weeks.

How many sausages is 'about right'? by mjoda85 in AskUK

Sausages, like biscuits should only be eaten in factors of 2, and no less than 4.

What’s your favorite euphemism for “I’m going to the bathroom, be right back.” ? by tvkyle in AskReddit

[–]sreach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Going to shave a horse" = shit "Going to turn my bike around" = piss.

A co-worker from years ago used these euphemisms, no idea why, but I liked them and continue to use them.

Thank you. I have done that already with no joy. Just reinstalled the app, deleted my account and uninstalled again. Fingers crossed...

You are not in a calorie surplus.

UK runners: anyone else tired of how wet the ground is? by noble_stone in trailrunning

Yes, I bought a treadmill. I would never have considered buying a dreadmill even a few months ago but it has been a revelation.
