Need to work up to 8 miles by the 25th and have to put in a good performance as I am running the leg against my boss and he is a machine and very competitive. If he beats me by miles I will never hear the end of it.
That's some good motivation, just don't beat him by too much or you might suffer!
Still stuck around the same weight and have lost my appetite. May just take it easy for a bit then go on a muscle kick after my birthday in a few weeks.
Was inspired to go for a run last night and managed a 5 mile run in 41 mins so I might not die in this marathon relay after all. Got to run 8 next Sunday. Aiming to run 6 sometime mid week then maybe 7 on monday and that should do it.
Been debating trying to shift the flab now as it is too hot to eat loads and I have hit a wall but I will persevere.

Jock I don't get that if you are trying to bulk why ur doing a marathon/lots of CV? Do you ever take a week break every 6 or so weeks?
eta: seen your reply to fenix, but surly this won't help that plateau?

All taken out of context.
I hit the plateau before I started running so that did not cause it but I have been running since and am sustaining the same weight.
I am trying to bulk yes but I also have a marathon relay in a couple of weeks so I can't get away with no training. I have only run 3 times so far though. I also think there is no point being massive and unable to run a few miles. You can do both!
So I am bulking and the runnning is more of a side project. I will be doing a half marathon in sept so it will also be helpful to build up my fitness in advance of that - unlike last time!
I don't see why you can't consoldate bulking and cardio. Some people think it helps keep the fat off. I appreciate it means a greater calorie expenditure which just means eat more to compensate.

I do partially agree, though I think it is down more to the genetics of each person, but there was certainly a massive lad at my gym who shocked me when he told me he had just run the London marathon.

Urgh, I hate people like that!
*puts jock on hate list*
I know what you mean about appetite, I really can't be bothered to eat a lot at the moment in this heat

I can! pussies! :-D
Ha ha! I'm trying to eat about 4000 cals a day. It is a bit of a struggle! Then again, footballers etc during the world cup were eating 8000 a day.
I'm sure I can stuff down a few more steaks.
Finding the gym a bit lack lustre at the moment too. Time to power through.
My bros fiance asked if I was taking *assistance* as she hadn't seen me for a few months. I took that as a complement. Another stone to go though.
