I broken the 10 mile mark and made it to 20k this morning. I thought the route I’d chosen who be half marathon length and considered running around the back of the estate to make up the difference but I was too knackered to pick myself back up and start going again once the momentum was draining. It the original route had made the distance by itself I’m pretty sure I’d have handled it. I know that feeling. Having to run half a mile past my own front door to make the full distance. Fair enough if you sacked it off, it's a big mental hill to have to climb when all you really want to do is sit down and die |

Well, since our chats about intermittent fasting a few months ago, I’m still finding it very difficult to sustain, and keep falling off the wagon.
But, the night before last, I ate a load of proper crap, really late, just before going to bed (Peperami, crisps, chocolate biscuits and cheesecake) and it nearly chuffing killed me.
Pains throughout the night, acid reflux, felt horrible the next day until mid afternoon.
I haven’t had an alcoholic drink in about a month, but went around calling it a “food hangover”.
I felt absolutely terrible.
So, the 20:00 alarm is back on the phone again!
I’m not going to avoid breakfast this time; just try not to eat after eight pm.

I felt absolutely terrible. So, the 20:00 alarm is back on the phone again! I’m not going to avoid breakfast this time; just try not to eat after eight pm. I'm starting on a 5:2 diet (800 cals two days a week) from next week, and plan to do 16/8 IF every day including the fast days. So that does mean skipping breakfast for me, and like you not eating after 8pm (that bit's easy, that's our normal dinner time anyway). I've done this successfully before, I've found weekday mornings are ok as I just get stuck into work and, along with plenty of water, find that concentrating on something gets me through to lunch ok. It's the weekends and school holidays that are killer as the kids get on my tits from 6am onwards and I end up hiding in the kitchen snacking! |

Witnessed an interesting exchange at the gym on Thursday:
Girl is doing face pulls at the machine next to me. I didn't notice at the time but she had positioned her phone on the ground to film herself. Anyway, just as she starts, some guy comes up to her and asks if she wants him to film her (with her phone). She accepts as it's hard to get the right angle.
She starts her workout and the guy basically pans around her encouraging her and commenting on the good form etc.
When she's done, she mentions it's for Instagram and her name is "something fitness" (didn't catch the name), he says he's also on Insta, and his name is "blahblah fitness" (again didn't catch it).
Then "I'll follow you, and you follow me", and they do some stuff on their phones and part ways.
Was just kinda intrigued by it all. I'm getting old.
PS while they were in decent shape, I definitely wouldn't class them as "fitness influencers", although I suppose they could be at the start of their journey (/shudder).

Every fucker under the age of 30 wants to be an influencer these days (Stu). But only about 0.001% have the drive and attributes required to do it successfully. Gymfluencers are the worst of the lot, followed by the sexy hikers.

I don't know how i would cope with a situation like sport's. Stifling the guffaw would probably be tough.
I still get cheesed off with gangs of young peeps all using the same equipment for ages, so seeing wannabe influencers would probably tip me over the edge...

Sexy hikers you say? Go on... They're basically like normal hikers but have realised that by posting photos of their hikes AND their various body parts during said hikes results in lots of follows from thirsty men. Whereas as a purist I feel out detracts from the countryside 😄 |

I was introduced to "thirst traps" on TikTok the other day. Apparently if you set "gaming" and "technology" as your interests when you sign up, it's basically all you get. lol

"Appenzell is a deeply devout and conservative canton - it only granted women the right to vote in 1990" I think that's a bigger story than some bloke walking around the Alps with his wang hanging out to be honest.

"Appenzell is a deeply devout and conservative canton - it only granted women the right to vote in 1990" I think that's a bigger story than some bloke walking around the Alps with his wang hanging out to be honest. It's even worse. While the Swiss (men) voted in 1971 to grant women the right to vote, this then needed to be implemented in the cantons. A few already had women's suffrage prior to 1971, most implemented it in the following 2 years. Except Appenzell, which are actually two half cantons. Appenzell Ausserrhoden finally voted on giving women the right to vote in 1989, while Appenzell Innerrhoden voted against it in 1990 but was made to implement it by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court a half year later. |

I feel like I’m falling off the wagon. I’m exercising but I can’t stop eating I too feel like I’m having a bit of a horrendous time. Despite repeatedly telling myself not to, I keep eating too close to bedtime. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been having stomach pains and bloating throughout night and day, a feeling of tiredness, bouts of acid/indigestion type stuff, and other bits and bobs. It’s almost getting to the point of me going to see the doctor on a “just don’t feel right” basis. If I’d experienced a sudden loss in weight, I would have done so by now, if you know what I mean… I really don’t quite feel myself at all, but have the idea, as stated on another thread, that it might be fallout from COVID. |

It seems there are also a lot of stomach bugs going around - half my kids school are off with it. I think we're seeing a spike in "classic" infections at the moment

Worth getting checked. It could be easy to treat. |

Easy to be wise when you're giving advice to someone else. Maybe I'll get my dodgy knee I've been ignoring for months checked too.

Can anyone recommend a three dumbbell set? Like the kind they have in the gym. I'm looking on Amazon and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Ideally ones where I can buy other weights and add them later.

Argos are good for no frills weightlifting stuff I agree. I haven’t got them anymore, but I got a nice little dumbbell set from them a few years ago that didn’t cost much at all. |

OMFG I have bad DOMS from tuesday's gym session.
Stupid weak legs.
It will likely be a painful zwift session tonight. Which I think may well be shorter than planned.
Easy session at the gym tomorrow night for sure!
