My back has been ****ed for weeks. Unfortunately, on and off, it always will be, as will my knee. So I haven't been able to train as much as I'd like for a while as I've needed too many rest days (I like to run every day with maybe a Saturday or Sunday off so I can feast in the morning and drink in the afternoon). Fingers crossed the back has been OK for a few days and I had a decent run today. I'd like to get properly fit again as I'm running out of time.

I gave up on being fit many years ago, I have to many injury problems. I just try to walk often and eat health now and then.
I ran at county level, played footy at a good standard and enjoyed it all so I don't feel like I missed out.
Footy in the forces at the level I played at is considered a duty. I'd go into work and a fax would arrive telling me I'm required for a training camp or tournament and off I'd go instead of working.
Did that for any 5 years, superb.

Good thread Spurlock 
I'm in the process of getting back into my fitness routine, so might have something to add over the coming weeks.
A good soundtrack is vital for me, and a mentality to not just turn up and move weight from a to b, but to get the most out of what is usually 25 minutes of hell.

Does my nut in when people mention going to the gym for a couple of hours, like it means more. If you train hard for that length of time, you are doing way to much.
If I have a free run of the gym, I do either 5 or 6 exercises, with 3 sets of 12 reps for each exercise. I have a break of 45 seconds between each set of 12 and a 2 minute break when I change exercise. I can be done in 20-30minutes.
I usually take longer. But then I'm older.
Usually about an hour of free weights & machines. Then 20 mins running or rowing.

Nice to see you round these ends Tel.
We defo need some good music....anyone who says Eye of the Tiger is a legend.
My workouts are always short and intense mate.
You can train hard or you can train long, you can't do both.
Two of my favourite tracks for the gym, a must on any of my playlists.
