Chief's big fat thread of fitness

I agree with you both up to a point, I've never enjoyed it and, as I stated when I got home after last night's efforts, I'm ****ing ****e at it.

There is a point though; a challenge, both physically and mentally, and it's outdoors.

Plus, seeing gains and improvement is very good. And not doing it with pain is also a positive, when that happens.

It's not really what I enjoy but it's absolutely better than **** all. At the minute I'm limited to that, press up's and going for a walk.

Significantly, when I got home from work last night my Mrs said she wasn't going for a run as she had work to do. I jumped at the chance to go instead, which says something.

 

I've lost 5lbs in 2 days.

That **** just falls off me when I'm a fat ****.

Be more difficult when another 2 stone have come off

 

It’s all good fun when you’re losing water weight. Then three months down the line you’re doing four marathons a week and living on dust to lose half a pound.

 

I live 10 mins down the road from here.

My son keeps asking me to go on a bike ride. Cba in the snow at the mo.

There’s also some decent sections of the coast to coast in Weardale. There's a fast long downhillish part that is basically a water filled rut about 20cm wide. Drift either way and you're fuked

 

don’t see the fun in smearing my face on the floor after a big crash! These parks just look like a quick way to A&E

then again I see no danger in wearing road cycling gear and going downhill at 40-50mph

 

That looks right up my street

Would be a long cycle home afterwards though.

 

There's a good mix at Hamsterley. No need to do jumps if you don't want to. Even the runs that have big jumps have a pussy out side option which I always take. Still good fun though.

Do like the 40-50mph road think also. Can't beat working as a team to cover some serious miles at speed on the flat.

 

people on bikes..... Teams covering miles?

Had no idea Boogerman was a mincer in cycling shorts tbh

 

This is my standard.

I've got history

 

Bet you have had a cry **** after imagining him in lycra

 

^Who put 50p in the dickhead?

 

As it happens, went for my first bike ride of the year with my son this lunch time. Took a couple of photos just to prove to @Suckmyklopp that men in lycra don't look like complete ****in idiots

And out on the ride.

 

That middle picture, when's the baby due?

 

Mad how you can see his ribs but also a belly.

 

I’d have definitely stuffed a sock down mate.

 

I recognise those toenails

 

Looking at it again I'm sure that's a gimp mask he's got on too, or a balaclava?

 

he def had a pokey bum **** over those.

 

Supposed to be black and white stripes. The effect didn't work well.

 

I've got two pairs down there
