@Essexyellows is a big Park RunnerInteresting to hear about running from others. I’m 49 and started for the first time (since school cross country getting ankle-tapped by twats) about 18 months ago to make sure my daughter (now 15) was getting some exercise. My son (now 10) loved it and so we’ve been running at least weekly. A few months ago we started doing parkrun. Have a google. It is a 5 km timed run in a Saturday morning pretty much anywhere in the world. We usually run in Perth, but last week I was in Krakow with billy so we rocked up to the krakow parkrun. I’m not competitive but I like the community vibe (although it can be a tad churchy evangelical at times) and that my time gets recorded and I run faster at parkrun than I do in my own.
Parkrun is brilliant, such a great idea. The Bicester parkrun is always well attended. I've never actually taken part, Saturday morning is when I do my long run, but have passed the people out doing it, fantastic to see so many people involved on a regular basis.Interesting to hear about running from others.

I find that I can keep my weight relatively stable if I do approximately 9k steps per day. So that's a 20 minute walk to and from the train station before sitting on my a**e during the working day.
I drink about 4 pints in the week with one glass of wine, and I eat what I like but try to keep it broadly to 3 meals a day (with a few biscuits in the evening). 1 takeaway per fortnight.
Furious masturbation is my only exercise and I do that about 4 times a week.
Stick to those principles and you'll be dropping lbs in no time.
Someone recommended Yoga and Pilates to me a long time ago and I took both up properly 4 or 5 years ago . Since doing it, I have regained flexibility that I thought had long since gone and after a day sitting at a desk, my body doesn't feel stiff as a board.Without wishing to derail this thread I’m also a convert to Pilates (I never thought I’d say that!) it’s not weight related but Pilates has really helped with me with Sciatica and Patella Femoral issues, and general well being.

It can be an ego buster when you think you are flexible and see people of all shapes and sizes bend down and put their hands under their feet as the are so flexible. ?

Is it coincidental that that's how often you contribute to the Brexit thread?
That's the reason why it's 'furious' [emoji23]
