    @NTA pretty much the spirit of one of @mariner4life posts earlier this week. Although he also swam and cycled... and maybe ran just a few more kms 😂😂

    @Paekakboyz could manage 2.5km at 6:15. Christ it is a long way back.

        Yeah running is shit unless it's a short sprint. Even then it's shit.

        Focus on being a power athlete, do something amazing briefly as opposed to something mundane for ages.

        This also applies to ones sex life.

            Do strong things......briefly........

            Then fuck off for a beer/feed.

            I'm not sure what your issue is.

              Which reminds me: the lady wife is in a bit of a pickle as her yoga instructor is off popping out a brat. So she's looking for options, and the conversation went something like this:

              Her: "Maybe we should go do some hardcore cardio together?"
              Me: "Well let's go to the gym that [friend of the family] owns an-."
              Her: "Woah no way!"
              Me: "-d get some muscle tone with weight work".
              Her: Blank stare
              Me: "Well, let's see what they say"

                    @MN5 exactly. I think - based on what she's done for fitness to date (Mum's dancing class, Zumba, Yoga) - that it is more about the setting and the company, than any kind of effort.

                    In effect, she doesn't want to look bad in front of people younger than her.

                          I've also started doing pushups, chinups, and other body weight like squats and lunges to get a bit of tone back.

                          All of this sucks equally compared to the running. But it has to be done.

                                  3km in just under 19 minutes. Everything from minute 2 onward sucked.

                                    Had dreams of running 5km but settled for 3km after getting to 2km nearly wrecked me. Again the time is well out, but I'm 104kg so naturally it is going to suck.

                                    I'm starting back at the gym this week in order to force myself to get into a workout space - $17/week includes one group session which I'll make something weights-related. In between body weight 1-2 times a week at home, running 2-3 times per week and some heavier gym sessions I should start to see some tone.

                                    Still - need to get the eating back under control but shit its hard in winter.

                                      Winter is a pretty relative term where you're from.

                                      Personally I go hard out with the fasting that others on here do cos the fact is I'm on the road quite a bit with work and completely lack the organisational skills to actually make lunch so find myself having a kebab/sushi every now and again. Also given work pays for a meal more often than not this is steak and chips.

                                      104kg is hardly disastrous for a former prop though is it ?

                                        Regularly goes negative in my part of Western Sydney which is wintry enough. Not the -8C seen in parts of the Waikato recently, but there is no ocean out here to stabilise things.

                                        I'm not dead, but it does make it hard to get back into running. I started the original weight loss @ 116kg back in 2011 (August), and it feels a lot tougher this time. Being older definitely doesn't help.
