Are you leveling up outside of EQ? (fitness thread)

So what's new with Swish since the last thread?

Last session in the gym I managed to hit 12.8km/h for 35 minutes with no breaks, hitting the milestone of 13km/h today...again probably not at the first attempt but we'll see.

Get yourselves down to the gym, out on the streets or wherever and burn some calories. If you're not sweating, you're not working hard enough!

See if you can burn more calories than the plat you earn on elf sim tonight ^^

Last Thursday I successfully ran 13.2km/h for 35 minutes, and have been working at 13.4km/h for the same duration, no breaks, no stopping, no water.

Didn't manage it today but the beauty of the gym is it's always there and after a rest day tomorrow I'll be trying again on Wednesday!

Today's session total: 811 calories burnt (with other equipment)

Smashed 13.4km/h for 35 minutes today after having a rather shit attempt at it when the thread opened lol.

Amid a guy doing walking handstands (for fitness, right?), off duty PTs walking around flexing while saying hello to the gym rats and other general gym etiquette I sweated to videos on the wall including Da Rude - Sandstorm (spotted a couple of 19-20yr old Twitch nerds react when that came on) and some shit Janet Jackson song from 1998.

Main thing is it's progress, and attempting 13.6km/h next session. I set a target of clearing 14.0 by Christmas but it feels like a big leap ^^

Hope y'all are getting out there, or even grinding out some sets/reps while on the elf sim <3

I rarely do the gym 2 days in a row but with a pal wanting to go again, I went again lol...didn't plan to do 13.6 the first time out but somehow managed it, the treadmill was showing about an 8km run which is nice to see and if I could keep that pace for ~90 minutes (note, I can't and would struggle!) I'd clear a half marathon in that time... my best half marathon time is 1 hour 50 minutes almost on the dot.

So 13.8km/h next session, it's the fastest I ever cleared on a treadmill before I took a break. 14 would be a brave new world (8.7mph) and I might have to consider going up in .1's instead of .2's :/

Sidenote: No dickheads doing attention whore walking handstands across the mat area today but when you're on the end of a row of 5 treadmills and there's nobody else there...then a guy gets on the one next to you just after you start, you wonder why... like "dude, I'm gonna be sweating here" lol
