Think it's bad now with groupies? Wait till the paparazzi get in on the scene.
Best invest in a home gym before things go all to hell. You will be sneaking along in the dark timber with the smell of Elk in your nose and bam!!!! Camera flash!!!! Elk gone and all that working out for naught.
Ahhh, the price of fame and pride.
Addition: Last leg workout I posted ended up with a total of 114 reverse leg lunges on each leg. I'm still walking like a duck two days later. The groupies don't even give me a second look.
Finally got my 2 mile interval run pace under 11 minutes at 10:57. Next goal = 10:30. Surprising since we've been on shutdown at work since Friday so not-so-easy 12hr days are the norm.

How much can you deadlift? Can you do a box jump on a 24in box? How many pullups ya got?
hey Coach, chill out. You're talking to a recovering cancer survivor.
That is great news, it also probably means he needs a "coach" even more, as elevated cortisol feeds cancer about like sugar, and about the best way to jack up cortisol levels, short of SFAS or Ranger School, is to run too much.
Can you swim 500 yds, bike 17mi, run 3.1 mi with no break? I can't yet, but I will in August.
You betcha, though my time wouldn't impress you. I wouldn't be crippled the next day though.
About the best training advice anyone can ever offer you is this, if you desire to be truly fit, and everyone should, then whatever you suck at, whatever you dread the most, is what you should be doing. If you can't do one box jump on a two-foot box, that should be what is known as a "clue".
Skinny guys can run, skinny guys, some of them anyway, can do pullups like you (and good for you that you can), but skinny guys dread a heavy barbell, and that is what most of them desperately need.
No-necks who can lift pickups, dread running and doing any sort of real metabolic conditioning. Guess what they need to be doing?
I'm not an advocate of bodybuilding per se, but a lot of the old time greats, who didn't over do steroids and take the Lyle Alzedo route, like Frank Zane for example, still look like studs today as old men.
As for endurance athletes and aging, have you seen Marcus Allen lately? He looks like a meth-head.
Don't run another step, for now. Buy and read Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength". Find a coach for the lifts. Then find a Crossfit box and join up and do that for a while. Then add in Crossfit Endurance programming to your training. Your time on a sprint-tri will probably be about the same, but you'll be twice as strong and a better person, husband, and parent.
Oh, BTW, endurance athletes incur several cancers at a MUCH higher rate than even non-exercisers, ask Lance about it. There is a reason for that.
You know what, you don't know me or my workouts or my goals yet you've got all the answers. Never mind all the docs have been telling me about my training, you know better.

So now you're an expert oncologist giving medical advice online.
Do us all a favor. Rack your brain and try to recall what the subject of this thread is. Then, don't read any books by Mark Rippetoe, or anyone else for that matter. Go backpack hunting, kill a big animal, and tote it out on your back a good distance.
