Mini Forklift Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi guys, Just letting you know that I'm taking a break from powerlifting as I was given an invite to race a 100miler in five months time Needless to say I am back on the roads/trails trying to get some running fitness back! My primary goal is of course to finish; secondary goal is to finish under 30hrs, but ideally I'd like to think I could get close to the 25-28hr mark. We will see... http://www.greatnasebywaterrace.co.nz/format.html http://www.greatnasebywaterrace.co.nz/images/page%20images/waterrace1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Feel free to follow my training in my journal, I still plan to keep up with the weights but obviously won't be training as heavy as I usually do. http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=27555&start=915 Will post up all my running in there though, hopefully in another couple of weeks I should be back up to 100 mile training weeks if all goes smoothly. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough! MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JubNZ Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nice video! (good touch with the slideshow haha ) What are your thoughts on the Vibram five finger shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks mate ~ Vibrams are great. Love them. I just can't justify spending a few hundred on a pair when I can walk into The Warehouse and buy a shoe for under a tenner than will do the same thing haha.

Mini Forklift Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks Lunk, sounds like that might be a good goal for you?.. Ran a very lesiurely 46.5km last week, now I have a couple of easy weeks into my legs I'm back into the 100km+ weeks starting from today. Will type up last week shortly, hope everyone had a good weekend MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
