Chimera Posted April 23, 2011 Urban, a good way to keep track of your gains is by taking a picture of yourself every two months. This is the next best thing to having a personal trainer. The mind can be your worst enemy, and it can see something completely different from what the mirror is reflecting, which is a pity because many people lose motivation because of this, evendo though they are on the right track. I would also advice that you tried taking a product like Creatine, you will gain mass and strength. I use it twice a year, first to break through a plateau(because with creatine you'll be able to go heavier than your max.) and another cycle during Ramadan to maintain what I have gained. Success sxb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted May 28, 2011 Are there any runners in SOL? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polanyi Posted May 28, 2011 ^^ My grandpa and poppa were both very talented runners.So I am, but they used to chase hyenas and I run for the bus every morning. I love running- not a professional runner if that is what you were asking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted May 29, 2011 LMAO. You're a funny lad. I don't mean professionally but did have something a bit more rigorous than running for the bus in mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted May 29, 2011 Blessed, I run 2 miles a day, 5 days a week, I mostly do it at lunch time. The fact that there is a health and wellness center at work helps me though. Why? Do you do a lot of running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted May 29, 2011 Somehow, it's kind hard to believe Zack runs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted May 29, 2011 ^LOL. Why? I'm surprised there aren't more nomad runners. Zack.. Oh. that's impressive. Did you start with 5 day runs or have you slowly increased the number of run days? I've been recomended rest days in between runs but I feel that it just makes me lazy... I'm getting back into running after a long break. I've been doing the C25K for awhile and only have a few weeks to go, so need to think about my options once that's done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted May 29, 2011 Che LOL.. A lot of things are hard to believe in this world. Think impossible. Anyway, If you ever visit the C-town, let me know.. I will teach you one or two things about Basketball. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know that you are getting back to running. I started with 3 days a week, and at first I was doing fast walking as opposed to running. Then I kinda wanted to do more, so I started running and it kicked in from there. I used to lift weights at the gym and I stopped doing that long time when I embraced the running. I suggest that you start it with three days a week or at least every other day. from nothing to 5 days will wear you out, I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted May 29, 2011 Blessed....Just a gut feeling plus Zack has redneck like pick truck-hardly people known for their physical activity. I haven't run in long time and my idea of exercise has became walking to food joint to pick up takeout. Insha Allah, hoping to start exercising again. Zack-You are fashioning afer Saciid (Boston) miyaa? C-town? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted May 29, 2011 ^Columbus. LOL@fashioning after Saciid.. so you actually know him whilst you denied that last time we talked about him interesting. No, he is a professional runner, mine is just for pleasure and health purposes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
