lhamilton1807’s Super Game Prep fitness log

This is post supergame but I spent three months before supergame working out for two hours a night 5x a week.
I started off dying running a mile and out of shape after a three year break for powerlifting. Now I set a PR of 6.5 miles for my longest run, I'm running 2-4 miles a night and on my way to bench 225 for the first time (gave up close to it 3 years ago as college was hectic). After supergame was over I still felt like I could've played another day if I wanted so I definitely got the results I wanted in the short term.

Dude that's AWESOME. I've only been jogging again since February/March and I haven't broken the 4.5mi Mark yet. I got close at 4.3, but I have more work to do. So 6.5 is incredible.

I realized it's way harder to go for longer than 4 miles on a treadmill when you have nothing to think about but it's easier to keep a faster pace for me. When I run on a trail I'm constantly occupied with foot placement, etc so I'm not bored and it's easier to just keep going.

I completely agree. I also think I get a better workout when jogging the trails. It's like the treadmill assists too much, and I don't get the same good workout fatigue as foot-on-earth.

100% agree. I get bored after 2 miles on a track. Most of my running is on a paved trail that follows a local creek through town. I take detours through parks and neighborhoods from time to time to mix it up.

Just weighed in at 184 AFTER dinner. Good results, feeling great!

Didn’t do a good job of keeping up with exercise over the summer, but I’ve been running a lot the last 6 weeks or so. I’m up to 11 miles/wk (2/3/4/2 miles per day) and the last two runs of 3 and 4 miles this week were at a pace of 8’21” and 8’17” respectively. I’ve not been able to get any runs below 8’40” on average so this is a big breakthrough. Still around 185 lbs, but I feel leaner and meaner.

I hear you man, my exercise schedule crapped out this summer, but has been improving. Keep it up!
