I Tested My Cardio After 5 MONTHS Off

[@GregoryPinto-s3g]

I can't decide if you create these videos for dramatic effect or whether in fact you're suffering with mental health issues that have left you somewhat deluded regards your physical abilities. Why do you expect after five months off, (and why oh why did you take five months off?) to get even remotely close to your previous best times for various events? Those previous best times were achieved after many weeks/months or regular training. subjecting the body to such intensity without weeks or gradual increases in training workload is a sure fire way to injure yourself and demoralise yourself. Please, take a good hard look at what you are doing to yourself.

Bro, relax. Some people like to see what they're bodies can do with intense training and without. He's not doing anything dangerous or at risk of injury.

[@irfuel]

@@pak3211 Imagine deciding wanting to improve yourself and therefore doing a few baseline tests to see what your current capabilities are. The horror! Nobody would ever risk life and limb just to know how fast they can run/cycle/row at the beginning of a training program! /s

[@Real_Matt]

Mark - just wanted to let you know I did my first 10k in 18 years today. The Blackpool 10k fun run. I was really shit and slow and really, really glad I did it.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

What great day for it! 💪🌞

[@vincentcrowley5196]

Well done ive got a 10k coming up next Sunday , repeat of last year at Knole Park , Sevenoaks . Hoping to do better

[@michaelhennessy5672]

Good job! I’ve got my first half marathon in over 10 years in July. Dreading it but also pumped about it

[@michaelarmer256]

I was there well done hot today

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

Well done mate!!!

[@him050]

Did my first ever timed race today outside of Parkrun! Caerphilly 10k. I achieved my goal in doing it in under an hour with a time of 59:33. Missed out on being above average in the race by about 20 places. But then I remembered what you always say, “just doing the thing makes you above average.” 😁😁😁😁

[@MarkLewisfitness]

sub 1hr for 10k is faster than 90% of people you'd find in your high street. People at a race are a bad example of normal people (or a good example - you know what i mean!)

[@meneerpeer7653]

Ran my first 5k yesterday in 37 minutes (including a few minute walk to the woods) and I was actually impressed because i thought i could never run 5k like that. Your videos really inspire me because it shows that no matter where you start, you can train hard and achieve your goals. Thanks Mark!

[@nthopk]

"You alive? -Yeah... Did you win? -Almost" Well done! I find your videos incredibly relatable. Thank you for what you do.

[@jirdesteva]

I absolutely love your channel. I am a 55 year old survivor of 2 heart attacks. I ride my bicycle 3 times a week and do moderate exercise 2 times a week. I have certainly fallen off the wagon multiple times over the years but I have found that I get a smile on my face knowing that I'm not alone. Thank you again for your inspiration. Going for a ride best wishes.

[@square7935]

finally the big dog is back to becoming above average

[@gazfarmertattooist5861]

Couldn’t agree more with this. My year started off with the arrival of a reflux induced, sleep depriving, baby boy and fitness goals have been pushed to the side. Having little to no consistency has made me really appreciate just getting out there is what’s it’s all about, numbers are a luxury!

[@hulkthedane7542]

I think, your conclusion is a VERY good one; exercise for the joy of exercise. Be that joy the nice weather, the attention of your loving dogs or the thrill from an online race.... Take care. 👍👍☀️

[@_.alex.-]

Mark you are brilliant and an inspiration to many of us. A normal guy, no BS, good bants, transparent about all sorts of stuff which others aren't willing to do (and this builds trust!). Thanks for putting out your content. 23 minute 5k lol, I'm 42 and happpy with a 27 minute 5k! :D

[@bobbyb7018]

Didn't realise you did such a fast row, very impressive. Your 6.36 would have had you fourth in the world at the 2023 indoor world championship in the 45-49 age group!

That's what I thought! 7:50 is actually fairly decent, I cant do much better, and I am 40.

[@krusbaer11]

I'm a new subscriber since a couple of days ago. Your content is so inspirational and relatable to me. We're about the same age and I'm also a tall guy. I used to run a lot a decade ago. Did a 10k just sub 40 minutes and a half marathon just sub 1,5 hours so quite decent runner. Now I'm lucky if I can run 2 lampposts 😂. Had some health issues the last few years but now I feel better than ever. Started to do some long walks with occasional jogging for short bursts. Feels so good to just be active again and I'm very interested to see how quickly I can get back into shape. Hopefully there's some muscle memory left that speeds it up a bit. Looking forward to follow your journey back too 😊.

[@themagician7734]

This video reminds me a lot of where you were when I started watching you. You are out there, doing multiple endurance related sports and having fun. I was always impressed with your level of energy and seemingly recovery, to be able to do a Zwift race one day, a Spartan Beast the next, and then an ultra with your dog a few weeks later. And yet, never the concern for following the 'optimal' training plan.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

yep - feels like a fun return to a few years ago!

[@shaunc7369]

Yeah I really enjoyed it for the same reason

[@TimWhild]

Your wife is much more supportive than mine Mark...I come back from kickboxing knackered and with a cracked rib to "twat!" rather than "did you win"? 🤣. Thing is we lose fitness a lot quicker at this age but it doesn't take much to top the cardio tank back up. You'll be there in no time.

Precisely what I got when I trapped my thoracic nerve at kickboxing.

[@RMILLSMMA]

[@andrewzach1921]

I lose fitness so quickly, had a bad month with two different bugs. One being 'the virus' thankfully being in pretty good shape before allowed me to shake both off but getting back to the gym noticed a decrease in both strength and cardio. All you can do is get back on the horse and start working again. Thankfully i enjoy the process and it's fun to see the numbers improve again. Thanks for the video Mark

[@renferal5290]

I just discovered you and I think you are absolutely brilliant. I love your dogs!! I'm soon to be 64 and have been working out for over 40 years. I used to do a lot of running but now I mostly do Stair Master/Step Mill and Assault bike.

[@richardwells4370]

I love watching this guy , I’ve started rowing on water and on land , so I do have sympathy, more please 👍👍👍

[@kebabimpaler]

Very relatable topic this. I think one of the hardest parts about coming back to reasonable levels of fitness after falling off (or being pushed off) the wagon is just how distant your previous PBs now appear. I personally find it best just starting again and forgetting about them and building up the same as I did last time instead of risk injury / setbacks chasing previous form before my body is actually ready.

[@PaulCombs]

This video legitimately brought a smile to my face thanks to the message at the end. It's fun to watch the numbers go up and see our improvement, but ultimately it's important to remember that being active is just fun.

[@acerld519]

8:00 is still very respectable for rowing. Definitely helps to be tall, but for most average-sized men, 8:00 2k is a solid fitness goal!

[@paulgerald1985]

Congrats on getting back to it Mark. I recently started my fitness journey a little over a month ago myself after taking about 12 years off. Watching you makes me want to get back on my bike and do another session after I've already put in my work for the day!

[@PorkPoncho92]

Its inspiring to see that even someone who has achieved as much as you has drops/time off etc and can handle them well. I've always wondered, if you could go back and start that journey again at the same point in time but now with all the knowledge, what would you do different? I'm 31 and bipolar disorder (no excuse) has lead to me not caring about my fitness anywhere near as much as I should, now circumstances means I need to try and get substantially fitter faster and i'm a bit overwhelmed at where to begin.

I bet it is going to be great working towards the goals you set, and satisfaction overload when you reach them. Good luck. Have a blast.

[@IainThacker]

I had 6 weeks off running last October - Plantar Fascitits, followed by 4 weeks slowly reintroducing running while phasing out the bike - Zwift is a lot of fun! Realising how much fitness has gone despite working hard on the bike was a bit demoralising but it all came back and then some. Working to get back to where you were is fun in itself and definitely easier second time around!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

I was feeling down this morning, so a Mark Lewis video was exactly what I needed. Glad I didn't watch it yesterday. Thanks.

[@markojarvenpaa2486]

Welcome back on the saddle! You've inspired me to start Zwifting as well. I'm starting my 5th week of zwifting next week - and so far it's great fun. Pretty much in endurance building phase still, but done couple of races already.

[@DarenC]

Zwift races are why I first tuned in back when you were on about 16k subs. I used your technique of sprinting through FTS segments then cruising the rest to recover. :D Glad to see they're back on the menu! As for the rower, I did a sub-7 once in 2004. Closer to 9 minutes now 😂😂

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Sprints on Zwift are coming soon 😂 But not yet!

[@duncandixon6203]

It would be interesting to see how quickly you get back or close to your previous fitness after your break. I find hearing about your journey makes me want to do well. I have been pushing myself from not being able to run 100 meters, to now running 18km in 2 hours. You give me motivation to destroy my past self.

[@thomassinikangas]

Zwift races are so much fun! But man they're frustrating too! Always feel good in the beginning, then end up using too much energy to stay with the front group. Then in the end having to fight my way to the finish lin on my own. Oh, and of course always joining the races five minutes before they start, so no warmup whatsoever :D

[@chrisratcliffe5860]

Legend. At your best you encouraged people to get out there and have a crack. At your... current condition... you still encourage people to get out there and have a crack. You'll get back there mate, keep making the great vids

[@AMP593]

Great video. I flogged myself on Zwift and got to B, but I burned out and lost the enjoyment-so much so that I stopped riding. After 6 months off, I got back on my bike. I now train less but still race C competitively and enjoy it more by racing tactfully in the bunch. Rather than having to be on the front in every race (which got me to B), My goals shift to getting a workout and an odd podium finish. I am now happier and healthier in mind and body and enjoy my Zwifting much more.

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

Another great video Mark! I have learned recently that at my current fitness riding more than 90 miles just isn't happening. The sit bones, back and neck say "no thanks". The legs are fine but the pain, at 56 yrs old, is just to much at my current fitness level.

[@85parrot]

I'm in a similar place to you right now. 38F, previous very decent base fitness from daily run or bike commuting plus a load of running and cycling in various forms and distances. 5k 20mins without having trained for it. I got run over by a car when cycle commuting last December, literally run over - it parked on top of me. Amazingly i wasn't killed, no broken bones, but lots of soft tissue injuries. Now i'm trying to start from what feels like scratch again, but also with a glass back, hip cartilage tear, bursitis etc etc, and of course a good few kg heavier. I am enjoying being out and about again, but im pretty down about where ive dropped to. I need to adjust my thinking. No point in being miserable, i am where i am i guess. But it is difficult at times. Watch out for those cars guys. They're certainly not watching out for you.

[@EEDIR-DK]

It is probably your adaption that has gone with the wind during these months off. You are likely to improve fast within the first 2 months when hitting a regular training loop. May I ask how you got in over training? It could be a nice video topic, as it is something that can take a long time to recover from depending how deep you got in to it. But nice to see you back in training again, I enjoy your videos and hope you get back in to a good stride.

[@owenbatham6743]

I totally feel your pain - im now 56 and havent done a 2k row for ages (previous PB is 7.36) but i jumped on the rower recently and it was horrendous

[@Draw2quit]

I stopped running over 10 years ago because of IT band problems. I couldn't get my head around building up slowly, it was all or nothing so I chose nothing. I used to do 5k in sub 17 minute and now, at 47 I have no illusions of ever hitting that sort of pace but thanks to your example, I'm going to hopefully keep at it. Lets go.

Hey Mark, I'm pretty much in the same position as you (minus about 25 years)and I've been inactive for over 6 months from climbing/calisthenics. Noticed a similar massive drop in performance, what used to be really easy such as pull-ups where I'd fly above the bar now I could only do 3 bodyweight pull-ups and that was a struggle. Feels a bit shit but watching your videos inspire me to get back into it as I am now. Currently on 7 BW pull-ups after 3 weeks, and gonna be consistent from here on 💪. Good luck to you as well on the fitness journey.

I was off running just over a month, due to sickness, moving flats, work, shitty weather and other family excuses. Had Helsinki City Running Day yesterday where I felt like shit, but was happy that I got there, my FIRST event ever... Garmin didn't waste a ticket on me :D Had to walk max 20m in the last km and still broke my old 5k record by 32sec... Would have been faster if I didn't start from the back of the fast group... Didn't trust myself enough, so I had to avoid running over ppl for the first km, wasting alot of time and energy :D Today bought a ticket to the next 5k event in Helsinki Half Marathon next month. I don't know where I´m going with this rant, but I´m happy that I´m finally back and happy that I have recovered so well from my slipped diskS (knock on wood)... And YOU are one of the few ppl that have kept me on track to become better and fitter! If ever our paths cross by some weird coincidence, I´ll offer you a pint or two.

It’s great to see you’re back on it💪 I had slump caused purely by over training. It’s the route of all injuries, doesn’t matter how much I try to think otherwise 😂

[@xXZeroSynDromeXx]

There is this idea that once you are in great shape with good strength and conditioning, you are basically peaking…you’ve built up a solid concrete foundation, but then stacked a bit of scaffolding on top. When you stop, the scaffolding quickly erodes, but the concrete sticks around for much longer. Eventually it will erode too, but much slower. And when you begin training again, you quickly build that scaffolding back on top of your concrete foundation. So, it would be interesting to see how quickly you regain some of that lost ground and to see where you are at in a month or two. You might discover that you can very quickly get close to your old best. And that only a little bit of the concrete is gone. I would very much like to see that video. How fast can you regain that strength and conditioning? I bet most of it will come back much quicker than when you were first building that foundation. You’re in a perfect place to show us that when you fall off the plan and have a set back, don’t fret. You have kept a lot of your hard work and just a bit of effort will get you right back where you were!

[@andywotjuno9954]

I’m 64 and even a couple of weeks away from cardio indoor rowing( 30 mins = 7875m SB so far) when I go back I see around 10% drop off from previous results against my current timings. However I can have months away from swimming and hardly notice any of loss of fitness and timings are pretty constant. I can only think it’s due to technique as opposed to just using brute strength to get you over the line.

[@julianpenfold1638]

Great idea to do the bike race. I make slow steady gains with "fitness training", which I measure, but these days the way I measure "achievement" in the skill-based sports I am passionate about is - did I manage to spend time doing them and was it enjoyable? I still take them seriously, but try not to make it into sef-torment.

[@Kalkstajn]

Will be running a 5K with my cousin in 10 days. Im not a runner anymore. In my teens I could to 10K sub 40. But that was a looong time ago. Now I usually stick to Power Walking (8K in 60 min) and going to the Gym. Still enjoying the occasionally run here and there. But then its more like slow running, with an average pace around 5:40. I probably could push it to sub 5, but where is the fun in that? If im running with my cousin, im running with him, not away from him :) The plan is us doing a 10K later this summer :) Endurance part isnt a problem, more like pain everywhere in the legs/knees etc.
