Times for all the races he has entered whilst training have come down by quite big margins . Generally reckoned to be round about 2% per 3 pounds lost (assuming no muscle lost) so two stone is getting on for a 20% improvement in race times. I've always found training for a marathon brings down times across the board even without losing any weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidingPie Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Managed twice swimming this week and have replaced any biscuits/ sweets in my diet with nuts/seeds. Weight was not bad like I’d worried 98.4kg snow but steady progress. Let’s see how I do in the coming week when I’ve got a cub camp this weekend.

GeordieSaint Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I’ve been at Lydd ranges this week preparing to deploy next month. We had a Base defensive battle exercise yesterday. I ended up acting a stretcher bearer for one of the CASEVAC serials. Lydd is basically a giant pebble beach so carrying a 100kg bloke across that is hard work at the best of times. We were supposed to carry the casualty to the extraction point, which the Staff supposedly told us was 50m away. Clearly having been fighting out of a building, we were all deaf and didn’t hear that distance; so ended carrying the casualty for about 1/2 kilometre across those pebbles with the Staff knackered trying to keep up with us. Literally can’t move today... too old for this s**t! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ranges at Lydd 25 years ago were fantastic, like being at a giant fairground with other people paying for the shooting galleries for you or in a real life computer game with unlimited lives. And we got to blow stuff up. And machine gun brick walls to see what the effect of a 7.62 would be, presumably to encourage us to keep out of the way when they were in the environment. I still recall the majestic site of a Mark 4 Cortina being reduced to it's constituent parts by half a kilo of PE4 and sending the bonnet what seemed like a hundred metres into the air to land half a mile down the range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the beach at Cley next the Sea in Norfolk, after 2 miles of shingle I had a sense of humour failure whilst walking the norfolk Coast path. 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...

Bedford Roughyed Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 145.0 kgs today. My head has been the issue this week losing a bit of motivation. Weight was up at the weekend, which didn’t help. A few consistent days has got the weight going back the right way.

CanaBull Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Flirted briefly with 199lbs at the weekend but was back up to 201lbs by weigh in day yesterday. One good curry away from getting below 200lbs I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidingPie Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well I knew it was going to be a bad week and I’ve weighted in this morning at 99.0 kg so although I’ve gained it hasn’t been as bad as I’d worried. A combination of a 3 day cub camp last weekend (where the standard breakfast involves sausage and bacon) and the kids being on holiday has been the main problem although I was too tired to go swimming until Wednesday which hasn’t helped. Tasks for this week. I need to prep my meals again, so at least 2 lunches and I need to go back to my smoothies for breakfast. Fingers crossed.

CanaBull Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I had a lot of gas in the tank at the weekend and a belly full of being ###### off. Walked for longer (2.75 hours) and for further (16.5 kms) than I've done in probably a decade. Considering I was amazed at doing 5kms earlier in the year I could scarcely believe it. Just emptied the head and kept putting one foot in front of the other. Only downside was the foot I can't feel obviously got the sock bunched under it, was proper munched when i got the bracing and the shoe off! D'Oh! Still a way from where I'd like to be, but giving myself a big pat on the back for how far I've been able to come so far. Just shy of dropping 30 lbs of weight too, hopefully this week or next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 1.5kg off since I got back from Canada, which, by the way, is a fabulous place to visit. Like the USA, but populated by normal people. Back at parkrun and will be running at Amager Strandpark in Copenhagen on Saturday. 2 "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world.
