Currently doing Dry January as I usually do after New Year’s. Maybe I’ll do it for longer now, maybe not.

I also want to train for a marathon this year. Not sure which, but it would be nice to see if I could do it. The first test will be a ten miles in april and I’ll see where it goes.

Maybe I’ll do a physical exam somewhere soon to see what’s going on in my body. I’m not having any problems but I’m curious if things will come up.

What about you?

    I am currently doing research on training programs. You should be able to train for a marathon in around 20 weeks and since most marathons are somewhere in september-october I should have time to see what I will do.

    What is sprint interval training like? I used to be able to sprint very fast but I kind of lost it in recent years. I would love to work on it again.

      Nice, u got plenty of time then.

      Sprint interval training is where instead of running for 30+ mins at like 60% , you go at max for like 15-20s, then do walk cool-down, for 2-4m. There’s some evidence that it burns more fat in less time spent overall. I look like someone running from the cops when I do it tho lol.

      Even if you’re training for a marathon, it’s supposed to be good for you (in conjunction with long distance running of course).

      Some plans and more resources on it:

        It’s a good thing to train for running away from cops.

        Anyway, thanks for the tips I’ll check em out
