    Lifestyle physical health/fitness thread

    I'm still alive and still loosely follow this thread. It fills me with nostalgia and has encouraged me to reflect. I've been on Smogon for well over 10 years now and below is a collage of the first 'fitness' picture I ever posted on these forums alongside a more recent one from a few days ago. A...

    Couple of photos in lieu of a proper update. Lots going on in the next few months - a warm weather training camp in the Canary Islands next week, a British championship race in Ireland in April and a 'sky race' in Norway this summer to look forward to.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BHCaBMhjFXs/ As the caption says, have been mostly focusing on running this past year and have only been back in the gym for a few weeks while rehabbing a calf injury. Depth is actually probably marginally insufficient as it may have been a few kilograms more than I...

    Have entered an off-road ultra-marathon (50km) in September so most of my training focus is on that at the moment. Building up mileage while not sacrificing speed work is the current challenge. I've also moved to Cardiff so hmu welsh smogonites and explain to me how I am supposed to speak a...

    Haha, its coming back to me now, I recall you were particularly jacked. I'm still training most days, flipping between powerlifting and mountain-running depending on whatever injuries I have at the time (and whatever adulthood will allow...man, fuck adulthood...I just wanna do a Goku and abandon...

    What do you spend the most spare time doing outside of gaming/forums?

    Like GotR, I also spend a lot of time debating, usually in very large groups. There's nothing quite like a good mass debate. And I find the more people involved, the better. I have a friend who has mass debated with me for years now and I must say, he is an absolute joy to watch. I would...

    Official Cross Country/ Distance Running Thread

    Oversimplifying but have found, through over a decade as a competitive runner, that the majority of overuse injuries can be treated with a handful of simple exercises. For knee pain, stretch your quadriceps religiously and begin a protocol of back squats. If squats are too painful, do eccentric...

    I think bodybuilding companies and magazines like to overcomplicate 'cutting' in order to push their products and it leads to the process becoming unnecessarily daunting. At the risk of going down the opposite route and oversimplifying things, it's just a matter of lowering your net calories...

    Winter has struck northern England with an icy vengeance which works quite well for me as I like to live by the mantra, 'Medals are won in the Winter but collected in the Summer.' Have refocused my training accordingly. Have a minor niggle that is making it difficult to run on flat ground or...

    An international team should not be determined solely on current form and you see that in a lot of the better international sides. But in England the media whips up a shitstorm as soon as any player has a few decent games and the England manager is promptly put under intense pressure by armchair...
