Never thought I would be on this cunting thread.
Started running a few weeks back, downloaded this app. Couch to 5K I think it's called, gets you from a slob to being able to run 5K in 9 weeks. I would say it's the first proper exercise I did in about 18 months. It starts you off running for just 60 seconds at 8 separate intervals with a 90 second walk between each interval. Pathetic isn't it? When I first did it, I was absolutely fucked, took me about a week to recover. A few weeks into now and I can run over 3 miles. I feel a lot better for it. Tempted to see if I can get myself to a point where I can do the half marathon myself. Don't know why, when I'm actually running I feel like I'm about to puke up a lung.
My cousin did the Potters 'arf. His first ever half marathon and he came 4th! Fucking ridiculous, he must be adopted because the rest of the family are fat, alcoholic pigs.

Went for a run yesterday, not sure how far cos it was round Holmes Chapel with my mate, but it took us 28 minutes and were absolutely fucking dead. I reckon it was about 3.3-3.5 miles.

you guessed it, running ;D My mate Mat who was at the potters arf, was 18 stone, he's now 11 1/2 stone and ran the meridian mountain marathon in 5.30 hours a couple of weeks ago, and dragged me up heartbreak hill on Sunday. For pulling the gut back in join a pilates beginners class, maybe try a local college adults classes? It's great for the core and has loads of women in lycra  I don't mind putting the graft in but stuff like Pilates is just geared up to make me look like a complete cunt. So what's new Give it a go, but go to a beginners class, some pervs stay at the back just so they get a good view when everybody is on all fours |

So you are back then, how many pounds of burger fat have you put on About 10 lbs I reckon. Everyone said I don't look much bigger and I'm still a 32 waist so not as bad as I thought it'd be. Will hopefully drop it off in the next couple of months though. |

Nottingham Half is a good one to aim for mate - nice and flat. If you can do 3 miles now then you'll piss it. I went from nothing to that distance in about 12 weeks a few years ago. September 30th I think. |

Seeing as I last exercised in the late 90s with more than a little help from class A, I decided tonight was the night....
Can of red stripe with dinner to get in the zone.
Got dressed, white shorts, white tee, white trainers. Missus told me I looked like a cunt so got changed.
Drove to Westport lake.
Walked to a secluded bit as I didn't want to start running in public view (how the fuck are you supposed to start running without looking a twat?).
Started running, trod in ha huge shit about 200yards in.
"Hit the wall" after about 400 yards, battled through it!
Gasping for air like I'm on mars after about 800 yards, ingested about a pound of shit flies by this point.
One lap of big wesser and two laps of little wesser before collapsing by the car, 18 minutes.
Teeth hurt a lot, located my phone in case I'm required to do a 999 call.
Cleaned shit off trainers.
Sat in car with top off and ice cold air con blasting.
Calfs (back of shin for those of you not so athleticly minded as me!) totally cramped still, cannot ascend stairs.
Back for more on Thursday I think!
