Walking, not marching, will improve your stamina more than any invented sports agenda
Sleep is just as important
Nutrition is also important
Working in a bar is not important
Hiking for example?I cant read what is posted... but...

Agree with the LPC, just get out there and start walking. I've found a FitBit to be surprisingly useful in my advanced years . Got one back in May and set it at 14,000 steps a day. I just going walking, hiking and occasionally jogging and have dropped 7kg in four months. No backpacks, just walking. Nutrition is also important, try and cut down on the carbs, especially from processed food, sodas, candy etc. (not easy working in a pub I suspect but make the effort).Just walk, one step in front of the other is the only technic...forget heavy loads in sacks

He's already looking for a job on a building site, there's nothing to stop him working in the evening on the weekends in the pub.(not easy working in a pub I suspect
Some of them had managed to manoeuvre into some amazing roles, well fair play to them better than walking round with a clip board or a brush less energy pulling beer!His already looking for a job on a building site, there's nothing to stop him working in the evening on the weekends in the pub.
that reminds, when we were in Djibouti, there was a Caporal Chef who (from what we could gather) only used to draw glasses of beer in the foyer. We used to describe him as the best paid barman in the world.
But I am sure they work long evenings too. Someone has to clean up and make sure everything is working, pumps changing kegs..etc.Some of them had managed to manoeuvre into some amazing roles, well fair play to them better than walking round with a clip board or a brush less energy pulling beer!
I think your advise is spot on but please remember it’s the Legion and a Army you are looking at joining sometimes I think we are looking at advise well to advanced and more for semi or pro athletes.Hi Anglophone,
1. For endurance; do long, easy runs. Of course what qualities as 'long' and 'easy' is dependent on your current level of fitness. The basic idea is to run at a pace wherein you can hold a small conversation without stopping.
Once you've build a good base or 'mileage', you can throw in some faster runs and maybe even sprints. If possible, try to run barefoot once or twice a week on sand or grass. It will help strengthen your feet and get a good callus going.
Running technique and the right shoes are extremely important. If you can, read up on proper foot strikes and the benefits of minimalist shoes.
2. For strength; do not reject the gym. I understand a lot of peole will tell you that it's unimportant, but weight training, using the right exercises, improves functional strength and will even aid in your running.
You'll only be able to focus on one at a time, though, since your body needs to recover. If you focus on running, dial back in the weights...and vice versa.
Personally, I weight train in the morning and run in the evenings...though sometimes I'll do only one a day, if my body is fatigued.
Cheers
Are you joking?But I am sure they work long evenings too. Someone has to clean up and make sure everything is working, pumps changing kegs..etc.
No please explain?Are you joking?
