With races all postponed I've just set up a challenge on Runkeeper of running 400km by the end of August. Need something to keep me motivated.
 
Plan is to get out of work early, get a run in and then sit back and enjoy some water, hops, barley & yeast.

How can you get so triggered on a football forum?  Calm down. I'm not going on like anything! It's harmless fun on a trivial medium. 
I laughed at something you said and because you can only be funny unintentionally, you got all upset and are still getting upset, although I really don't know why.
Go out and get some of that 78% nitrogen I was talking about and breath it in slowly.

Had signed up to the limerick marathon which was due to be this weekend. With that being postponed and picking up a slight injury at the end of Feb I'd lost all motivation. Weighed myself and I'd put on 3 quarters of a stone since I've stopped. Back training again the past 2 weeks. Supposed to be doing the Dublin marathon in October so hopefully that's still going ahead. 

Got a garmin at the start of the year. If you're running with a purpose they're good for keeping track. 
I used to use Nike run club app on the phone. Found that good for splits and history but once or twice the gps was all over the place. Also using map on the phone and music really drains the battery. Annoying when you're out on a long run and the battery dies at 21k and you're still miles from home.

Have ran 72 miles since this lockdown started over 18 runs.
Haven't done any other exercise and have been eating poorly with chocolate/crisps/biscuits most nights, so would be surprised if I haven't put on weight.

same here. Can't see it going ahead. 30,000 people on the streets together plus an awful lot more spectators. not a hope.

I picked up a knock running about a month ago and it's not improving much so I've been limited to body weight exercise in the house or garden.

Once the day starts, its harder to make time and then the general "can't be arsed" feeling sets in later in the evening. I'm reasonably content that I'm just maintaining my weight level. I do miss the routine of having football training sessions that are set in stone twice a week with the game on Saturday. 

I've organised a weekly Zoom HIIT session for my team which have gone pretty well so far. It's decent for motivation but it's not the same without the bit of craic in the dressing room. 
There's no chance that this season will be completed at junior level so some lads have lost interest understandably. 



Doing the same twice a week with our team. As you said, it's excellent for motivation because it can be very difficult to train by yourself, especially in the evenings.

I have a 40 mins program consisting of:
- 5 min dynamic warm up 

- 3 x sets of exercise. 

- each set is a 9 min workout with a 1 min rest at the end. That’s comprised of 9 separate drills which the lads do flat out for 40 seconds and then break for 20 seconds.

- You can mix the drills up but they are generally push ups, mountain climbers, burpees, squats or jump squats, variations on types of sit ups or ab work, planks, 3 yard shuttle runs, knee pumps and river jumps.

Our format changes each week but similar ideas, mainly whole body workouts consisting of a lot of what MCH has said there.

As for the motivation thing, I had 2 heavy sessions last Thursday and Friday, so would not have exercised at all on the Sunday if it hadn't been for that zoom session. So definitely a worthwhile idea, even amongst a group of mates.

Down around 4lbs in the last 3 or 4 weeks. Very happy as it is mainly just diet and walking. And i won't eat after 8 o'clock. 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

How much is a Garmin 235 forerunner worth? Have one here and it has been used once. Might try flog online if anybody has an idea of asking price? Box and all.
