Youri McAnespie Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 3 hours ago, QFPants said: No I was just interested. My Garmin had me at 565 calories for a 10k yesterday and I was wondering how accurate that was and how many beers I’d earned. I did a 10.29km a couple of weeks ago and my 'MapMy' app reckoned 1056kcal burned... I ain't having it that it's inaccurate to the tune of almost double. I'm not particularly arsed as I'll get there anyway and always take my average km/min times as more indicative of improvement, but I may change app if it's that much out. Anyhow, back to topic. These Desperados or Amigos or whatever, I'm sure our friends at Home Bargains do giant bottles of one or t'other for about two quid. Never mentioned it before as I assumed only wimmin drank it.

Ha ha! 😂 Yes a home bargains special! Just about to crack the first open! As my avatar suggests I’m into a bit of the tequila infused lager, nice and refreshing (just after another 10k - 886 calories 😉) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big Desperado. She says it's for the 'taste', I suspect it's to make up for lost drinking time (as they're about 6%). Anyhow, it sounds like you've earned it, and 886 calories for 10km sounds much more plausible to me. 565? No chance, get some new kit, QFPants...

I've thought about it and maybe 1000+ for 10km is overegging it, I'd do 10km on the treadmill at the gym and it'd just about reach four figures calorie-wise but the whole run I'd do on incline. I think once I mentally noted "That's Scafell Pike..." on reading 'metres climbed' but I may have dreamt that... Now then, intermittent fasting, does drinking a can of 'Lynx' lager two hours before fast end count? I might get 'gone' off it, having not eaten fourteen hours already... I might drink it through a straw, or does that only work with cider? I remember when we were kids a lad heard that and tried to drink a full 2L of Strongbow through one of those tiny red Vimto cup straws...

Was 44 minutes something I think, to be fair I only weigh about 61kgs so I’m not that arsed about calories, was just curious how it worked out. Now to crack open a Big Drop pale ale just for @Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Today has been the first day where I’ve seriously expected to put a decent amount of ale away, yet I’ve only had two 500ml 1664, four 660ml Keo and two 500ml Aldi Pilsner so about eight pints by my reckoning. Fuck all really given it was spread over 11 hours. Maybe it’s the difference in sitting on the couch versus drinking on the train and then racing from pub to pub?

Moderators Zico Posted April 3, 2021 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2021 Regardless of price, TIPA just don't do it for me That strong they don't taste hoppy anymore A few DIPA push the boundaries of being an enjoyable booze Sweet Spot for me is 6.5-7% That said, had Soylent Green from Pomona yesterday, 5.7% pale, was lavely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
