I had a PL like that too. He was like YOU'RE AN E5 AND CAN'T RUN LOWER THAN A 14:30?!?!?!? OR STAY IN MY 5-6 MILE RUNS @ A 7 MINUTE PACE?! It's was like "No douche. I can barely sustain a loving 2 mile doing 7 minute mile without puking my guts out. What the gently caress makes you think I can do it for loving 5 or 6?" But he could barely do 50 push ups....

So what you're basically saying is that the PL you replaced is an officer. Because officers love themselves some runnin'.

The best gains I've gotten in almost a decade in the military came from kettle bells. I was normally a runner, however, being on a lovely JCOB put a damper on it. I spent some time using kettle bells while supplementing with P-90X, and came back still scoring over a 300. Also, no more back pain, ever.

In a lovely hotel right now in Vietnam and all I have for work out equipment is the 24 KG kettle bell, 16KG kettle bell, 10 lbs and 20 lbs slam ball I brought along. My E5 should be bringing along the bowflex dumbbell that goes up to 90 lbs and the dip bars when he comes. Trying to figure out a PT plan for myself because all the teams coming back from our missions got a PT test the week after we get back. I figure if I can do 15minutes of air squats I can run my 2 miles in 15minutes right?

A cool kb workout my Marine bros and I would do involved a deck of cards. Each suit had it's own exercise such as goblet squats, one arm snatches, kb swings, and one arm over head presses. The number of the card determined the reps. Jokers were 50x push-ups. You can do some core stuff with those slam balls too like sit-up throws, and sit-up trunk twists. Squatting isn't going to help much with running dude, so I'd suggest getting a jump rope, or just going out for an actual run through the streets if you can manage it.

Um, did you eat and drink after your workout? Usually people who feel like complete rear end for long periods of time after a good run are a bit dehydrated as well as needing(needed) some carbs post workout. However, feeling like your did work is pretty much always a sign that you did something right.

For logging weightlifting/cardio, I use a small notebook and then log poo poo on fitocracy.com. Keeping a notebook of workouts triggers something in your brain to actually commit to it just a bit more. I can say that in the past 7 months I've kept one that I haven't missed a workout or haven't done most, if not all, of the poo poo I had planned to for that day.

Mapmyrun has a pretty good calorie tracking feature for all types of exercise (including weight training) and food. I believe it also adjusts calorie expenditure based upon your weight. I'm not sure what your goal is, but in the past I've had a lot of success in cutting by simply calculating BMR and adjusting caloric intake for 200 calories underneath that. By doing any additional physical activity, you're adding to the deficit.

I should have specified 'caloric intake'. I already keep track of my lifts because I'm not some scrub. Keeping track of how many calories you "burn" is retarded. I know that I'm not eating enough. The logical thing seems to be to keep track of how much I eat. To that end, I need a scale, some way to keep track of caloric intake and, most importantly, I need to develop the habit. edit: BMR is a joke. Mine says that I'm so disgustingly obese that I can't see my dick. vains fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Nov 2, 2012 |

You're confusing Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the estimate of the number of calories, adjusted by weight, you burn each day just by living, with Body Mass Index (BMI), an outdated measure of fatness.

You're already going to keep the workout log, so it makes sense to keep the calorie log with it. But to be honest, the best setup in the world isn't going to work unless you Just loving Do It.

Second that. If you do it for long enough you can almost count it in your head as you go along if you get incredibly OCD about it. The beginning kind of sucks because you gotta measure poo poo out, look it up, add it up and then you know. After a while you start to remember things such as: okay my oatmeal that contains 1C oats, 1C yogurt etc etc has exactly 450 calories. Oh, and get one of these, since it's portable and you can write poo poo down on the go. Nice and hot piss fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Nov 3, 2012 |

i got started this deployment in june as a fat POS as far as the army is concerned, running a 19min 2 mile and passing push ups by 1 coming in at 70 inches and a scale busting 205lbs of pure pound cake. but its a deployment to Kuwait which is really just like a lovely day at work anywhere else in the army so ive got nothing better to do. enter workout plan. 20 min of cardio @ 60-80% max heart rate to start every workout then i do the muscle groups like any other soldier, bis/tris one day, back/shoulders the next ect ect. i wont bore you with the counts or any of that fun stuff but ill tell you i do less weight than most but i never stop, i super set all my workouts with 15 secs in between sets. finish off with 20 more min of interval cardio and 10 min of stair stepper. supliment with you Pre work out of choice and ive gone from 205 to 170 and a 270 on the pt test in just a few months, also i eat like a fat kid, so if you have more discipline then me there you mileage may vary

I've decided that running in the cold is always terrible. Also, I hate how quickly cardiovascular fitness fades. You can go 2 or 3 weeks without lifting and jump right back into it. 2 or 3 weeks without running and it's like you've been a pack a day smoker for 5 years with a KFC addiction.
