Given the joint problems, but the obvious penchant for a team sport, have you considering something like water polo?

Cruel on horses that.

Desperate to try and get running again but just cannot get over a hamstring tear a couple of month back? Any tips?

Are you a member of a gym? Can strengthen with the bike and elliptical.

Done second open water swim of the year tonight, 1350 metres in 38 minutes, not quick as I’m mainly going the breast stroke as I just can’t do the front crawl for long enough. Looking at epic man half distance in a few weeks if I get the next couple of weeks swimming nailed.

Just signed up for the epic man half ironman distance........ Oh dear......... fingers crossed now.

Back to it this morning after the Bank holiday.

Squats - 75kg 5x5
OHP - 33kg 5x5
Deads - 90kg 2x5

Got some straps for the deads and definitely felt a lot better. Dropped some weight on the OHP which is disappointing but just didn't have the energy.

Been thinking of using some pre workout in a shake in the morning before gym. Seems to be various levels of belief in it from what ive read but may try it.

Trying a calorie deficit diet alongside my strength work which may be stupid but I want to try and cut a bit of this flab in the next month or so.

Breakfast of fruit, granola and some natural yogurt. Lunch of chicken breast, steamed veg and 125g rice.

Just done my longest swim, 1825 metres in 55 minutes, yes it’s slow however I now know I can do the 1.2 miles in 1 hour 15 this Sunday.

Hopefully...

More rest?

Or jogging in a flotation vest in pool.
Or gently, slowly jogging on a tread mill....if you feel the slightest twinge at all stop immediately.
It may take 6 months to get fully over this........AS I presume you are not a mid twenties footballer in your peak? With easy access to massage. Ultra sound. And cryogenic chambers.....following a tailored macro , nutrient diet?

Time,time,time..............

Would make the fruit a banana that is quite green better for gut bacteria and low in sugar.Also replace granola( contains sugar) with plain porridge oats made with water and add sea salt to it for flavour ( Himalayan pink salt is the best high nutrients. Iodine and ferrous iron? )
For your veg with chicken keep it green veg....spinach,cabbage,Spring greens....and broccoli again nutrition over carbs.
Rice ideally brown add a hot sauce like nandos to flavour it up.......very low calorie, low sugar but HIGH taste !

Well done on your lifts....

Cheers mate - no I am 43 and eat at restaurants nearly every night - mainly steak and chips and a pint - I have had access to a massage but refused the happy ending. Times it is then.
