That must have been tough! How far did you run?
Not really, it has been worse at other occasions. It wasn't very far. Just 10 kilometers (a little more than 6 miles).

That is really nothing. The thing here was that I ran them with a little more than 20lb(9kg) garment over me and there were lots of slopes across the road. Plus I wasn't jogging, I was running as in running.

I know it's not a lot, but to me it was a lot given the circumstances of the extra garment load and the terrain. It destroyed me, so I fell asleep without realizing it. :confused:

Haha! I don't get sleepy after running--makes me more awake, actually, (of course, after lying down for some minutes on the grass to minimize the head throbbing). I just love to eat stuff like tangerines and strawberry lemonade afterwards, then all is well :wink::wink:
Yummy. :smile:

That's a lot! You're my hero. Why did you do that?

I really don't want to sound like Forrest Gump, but my answer to that question is: I don't know. :DD I just wanted to run. :confused: Maybe to test my limits? :confused:

It's not really that much (for me yes with the load, but for other people that's nothing). Athletes do a whole lot more distance without breaking a sweat. I get amazed with them. :smile:

9kg is a very heavy load. During my firefighter training period we had to run and do exercises with a full compressed air tank which ranged in weight from ~8 to max 18 kg depending on whether it was carbon or steel. Running with weights is hell and probably not so good for the joints to be honest. Still, kudos.

:)) Wow, that's a lot of weight. 18kg?! I don't think I can move normally with that. :confused:

Everyone could, the trick is letting the cylinder rest on your hips and not your shoulders. If your tank starts hanging from your shoulders you won't have a good time.

Currently I'm running 14-18 miles a week anywhere from a 6-8 mile/hour pace. I do weightlifting 5-6 times a week in 1 hour sessions. The weightlifting includes bodybuilding, power lifting(new to me, but it was a 55 year old man that taught me with the correct form it's quite safe), CrossFit, and all things hardcore cardio.

I get out onto the judo mat once a week or so and try to keep up with the competitive kids. If you're not familiar with it, judo is like yoga... that you do to the other guy.:biggrin:

I've been running more lately too currently doing about 14 km with hills at a sub 6:00 min/km pace - which is huge for me. I've never been much of a runner, but my wife is.

I also fit in two strength-focussed workouts per week, either pure weights or P90X3.
