The faces behind the words.....

In keeping with the TA theme, this picture was taken of me in Berlin. I had spent the day with my brothers at a beer garden. We were having a few more beers outside our apartment when a cute girl asked us if we'd mind moving to the side, as they were about to do a photo shoot. As you can see that photo shoot was of the x-rated variety. Just so happens I was wearing a Leafs shirt.

Thank you kindly, sir. Try to run a bare minimum of 15-20 miles per week. Anything more is just too hard on the knee joints.

15-20 is still pushing it (for my knees at least). Although I guess we're still young enough we can get away with those kinds of things.

When I lived in Washington I did about 5 miles/day 4-5 times a week, but it didn't take long for my knees to start getting upset. Now I'm down to 12-15 miles over 3-4 runs with a couple swims mixed in (although as good as swimming is for you, the ****ing chlorine takes away a good deal of the benefit).

How many times a week do you run?

I try to do between three and four. I'll do a half mile run as a warm-up before a resistance and weights work-out most days at the gym followed by 30-45 minutes on the treadmill at a healthy clip (I try to average at least 7 miles per hour) with rapidly changing inclines. That gets me between 4 and 6 miles most times.

In the summer it's obviously preferable to go for long runs at nights but the cold weather and snow/ice makes that a non-starter for winter if you want to sustain any decent speed or intensity. What about yourself? I always recommend people push themselves rather than rest on their laurels; you always want to challenge your body.

When I was at my peak I would just go pretty hard for about 30-35 minutes; I was able to average about 7:45 minute miles over the course of the run, and I'd do it Monday-Thursday after work. That was all on a treadmill, mostly cause the neighbourhood I lived in in DC wasn't exactly the type of place you would want to go for a late night jog.

I much prefer being outside though, when I worked out in BC for a couple months running out in the mountains was simply amazing... fresh clean air and unbelievably difficult hills. But obviously living in Canada you can't be outside year round, and I hate running on pavement too.

Now I've been doing a combination of weights and a run, still building my endurance back up after a summer mostly off. Try for ~25-30 minutes on the treadmill and about the same with weights. Still trying to get myself back under 8 minute miles, once I get going I can do it but the first mile is much slower. I totally relate to trying to push yourself as well, I enjoy a workout a lot more if it's a challenge rather than something you breeze through.

Through high school I always played sports that required cardio, and after a couple years in uni of being a bum realized I like having good cardio. Great stress relief too I find.
 
Absolutely the best stress relief I know of.

Hurt my back two weeks ago, hadn't been able to do anything for a while. I noticed I was really bummed, but as soon as I got back in the gym I felt better.
 
I do eleptical machine 4.5mil for about 4-5 days a week. (takes me about 40 to 45mins to do that much) It's the best workout. It's a whole body workout if you do it right..there is no better machine imo.

Are you on the left or right?
 
Haha... some lovely pics and comments up in this shiz. Good thing I have enough narcissism to get it sparked up every so often.

My Movember stache is made of beer. I think I've posted this one before, but it still looks pretty much like this.
