What sport or exercise do you enjoy doing?

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.

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

Yummy.

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. I just wanted to run. Maybe to test my limits?

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.

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.

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.

That's something!

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.

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.
