TheSkaFish said:Ran my fastest 5K time since taking a 2 month break (26:36), so I'm almost back to where I was before that.
It was also the second-fastest time I've run since high school. After that I followed up with push-ups, sit-ups and other ab exercises.
I feel better, and I'm getting faster, but I only notice a slight change in my looks, even though I was running a fair amount through most of last year. My main goal isn't even to go fast, I just try to work harder because it burns more calories. I just want to get rid of this stomach fat once and for all.
I thought I read somewhere that lifting was actually better than running for losing weight, but covid shut the gyms down, and I can't afford it, so I run because it's all I can do and even if it's not the best solution, it's better than nothing. I just hope this is actually doing something though.
That's really great! Way to go!
There's a lot of free, online virtual 5K marathons, that you can do on your own. If you ever want more motivation.
