Bedford Roughyed Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 149.1 Had an iffy couple of weeks, but slowly back on track. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxed mens wear should be a tweed three piece suit, a stout pair of brogues and a cap. In times of extreme physical effort it is acceptable to remove the cap, jacket and tie, in absolute extremis the shirt collar may also be loosened or removed entirely. fig [1] a chap, ready for some physical exertion Am currently looking out for a smartly dressed chap sauntering around London on the TV.

Wiltshire Rhino Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Fell off the fitness wagon over the last few weeks. Life, eh? Anyway, up early today and back out walking. Weight is up but I'm back on it. 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Entered the ballot for the London Marathon Which, I think, means I’ve effectively run it. In the real world, there’s a 10k in Robertsbridge in late June and doing that is now my focus. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Copa Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 After three months recovering from surgery I’m now permitted to return to the gym. In one week I’ve done 3 high impact interval training (HIIT) classes and scaled 110 floors on a stair climber. The delayed onset muscle soreness I feel as a result of all of this is substantial. I’ve lost a lot of fitness and strength over those 3 months doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance of getting into London through the lottery is about 1 in 10 now. Brighton sells out pretty quickly IIRC. I did Boston (Lincs) at the start of April. £30 entry, including a very nice t-shirt. Flat, extremely well-organised and supported. You can enter within a few days of the race - none of this lottery nonsense. Admittedly, it's 26 miles round the turnip fields of England's dullest county and there's a wind off the north sea throughout. I did Barcelona marathon a few years back (also in April) having worked out that it was cheaper and nicer than doing Manchester marathon the same day.

RidingPie Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Just started swimming 3 times a week. I do love the pool more than the gym. Been a tough last 12 months but getting back on the horse so to speak. I need to get more veggies in the diet as well. Small steps though. This week I’ve started swimming. Next week I’ve set my self the target of prepping my lunch meals for the week on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 So 8kgs off since week one. I didn't really start for a few week to be honest, so roughly hitting 1 kg a week so far. 3 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

RidingPie Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Well I’ve hit my target this week of 3x1km morning swims. Weighed myself and went ouch, although it’s the first time in a year so I knew it wasn’t going to be fun. 100.2kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 5.9k run along the seafront yesterday. Felt comfortable. Had to keep telling myself to not try and beat any records and that just doing the run is enough. And so, as a reward, I've entered the Hastings Race for Life in June. It's 10k now and they've let blokes in. I can walk to the start line so seems rude not to. 2 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Bedford Roughyed Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 146.6 Kgs Despite the turn in the weather, managed to get some miles in.

CanaBull Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Another pound gone, now at 204lbs and officially 25lbs gone! Now on a sit-up challenge for May, increasing 5 per day up to 140 by month end. Do mine on the inversion table so is easy to do the obliques and reverse at the same time. If it doesn’t lose me any weight it’ll get some definition and flexibility back at least!
