Members Rudy Posted January 20, 2020 Members Share Posted January 20, 2020 49 minutes ago, Not in Crawley said: I'm still a bit baffled by this. Expend more than you put in your mouth. I run three times a week, mix of 5km - 15km, not training for anything at the moment so generally 5km three times a week. I drink more than I should, and eat cheese more than I should. When I was properly training went down to 12 stone, which at 6 ft 2 with a looooong face wasn't the best look. Now at 12/13 stone and feel good, running not as quick but enjoying it. I think the trick is, not doing fads, but finding something you can fit into your life and except than things change depending on where you are in life. I couldn't function without a run at least twice a week. Other people are different, find your own way. Think if you’ve got an active lifestyle and active job it’s easier to maintain than if you’re sat down all day. But the theory is right work more than what you eat and you’ll keep it off. Harder to do the older you get that’s just the way it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itv is true - I took up running three years ago as I am sat down most of the day and you do end up putting the pounds on really easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Some great weight losses being registered!! Keep it up. I finally succumbed to the scales last Tuesday. Clocked in over 13st 7lb. A bit of a shock. Was around 12st 4lb when I got wed 3 years back. Immediately cranked up the exercise - mainly gym, running and walking(!!!!!) and started logging my food and watching those calories. Been smashing well over 3,400 calories per day whilst my intake has been averaging 1,750. Weighed in this morning at just under 13st 2lb. So roughly a 5-6lb loss in the week. The downside was no alcohol last Friday. And then over the course of Sat/Sun only a bottle Peroni Libera 0% (pre-match), half a bottle of red, a pint of some local golden ale and a small glass of Amaretto.

VO2 max is coming in at 47 according to this smart watch Flatlined for three days straight at 106.2kg though, need to keep going (those RENPHO smart scales are great btw) Reading some of the reviews, is it true you need to have the app actually open to record the results(via Bluetooth)? I want to step on them every morning, still half asleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arsed about the speed - reading about recovery times and soreness after running and both are drastically reduced - which would be a big winner for me. Price is a bit way out there though.

Not in Crawley Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Getting rid of fat? Long slow runs with some uphills. Already slim? 5k x 3 a week, it’s always the hardest run getting under 23, but it suits my lifestyle. Miss long slow runs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haigh Hall seems like it would be a bit tough though. You mean the resistance bands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
