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.

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
January 21, 20206 yr 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!

January 23, 20206 yr Looks like we’ve all been doing It wrong, you just need to buy some faster trainers! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7918135/Would-pay-240-magic-shoe-DAVID-LEAFE-tries-out.html Edited January 23, 20206 yr by royal white

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.

January 24, 20206 yr 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

January 24, 20206 yr Addicted to porridge in the morning Oats so Simple. Ace. But I know it’s not good Keep trying to make my own with a bag of oats but fuck it up every time and revert to the Oats so Simple Simple way of measuring oats and milk to microwave please?

Put in less milk, zap it, if it’s too thick add more milk. Went to culinary school me.

Haigh Hall seems like it would be a bit tough though. You mean the resistance bands?
