New 10km personal best, and feeling great.

And getting closer... 10km 1hr Su Su.

A day of upper-body between 10km running days makes a big difference.

^ But he died happy, with his life-partner by his side. RIP LuLu and Manny.

30 minutes cycling in mild temperatures.
Should have done more really, might be motivated tomorrow.

Good going lulu, green on the way.

Cheers mate. Just finished 8 sets of abs, delts, triceps and back. Legs rested for tomorrow's 10km.


The aim:

UFC285.

Thank you, thank you.

What's the goal lulu, 10k in under an hour?
At your rate of progress it's a possibility this year.

Yup.

First was 5km in 30 mins, then was 8km in 60 mins, next to smashed is 10km in 60 mins, hopefully by the end of Feb.

My first time on this thread!

Starting last week... 42 lengths a day (takes around 17 minutes), followed by 20 minutes on the cross-trainer and then some weights and stuff. An hour in total.

The lengths in the pool are quite relaxing. The dogs walk alongside, up and down, looking bemused. The daughter joins me for 20.



Then the cross-trainer and weights. The daughter is on board for this also... though I wish she'd leave my coloured weights alone!



With a sensible diet I'm hoping to lose 20 kg eventually. I've already lost two of the five kilos I put on over Christmas in less than a week.

And I'll be doing this around 5pm, Sunday to Thursday, once I get in routine. The aim is to replace that 'evening Leo time'.

Who knows, maybe a treadmill and kit out a proper open air gym in the future... if I get into it. I'm too heavy to run just now.

That's the way Mendip!
It's a gradual process, last thing you want is to get injuries from the off.
Keeping a log at first is a great way to see your progress.

Excellent Mendip, good luck.
Remember to cut down on the Beer, white rice, white bread and anything cake/biscuit/sugar related, especially soft drinks and believe it or not fruit juice.

Good stuff Mendy.

Push on for Fitness, umm, Person of the year 2020.


20kg is a lot, but could do that relatively healthily in the next 12 months depending on your weight and size now.

I've lost 9-10kg in 18 months in a very healthy manner. 85.xkg down to around 75.7kg at 5 foot 9. The most important part of which is daily cardio exercise. Getting out walking/jogging, then running for at least an hour everyday.

My diet has completely changed quite naturally. Have completely gone off stodge, no toast/hash brown/beans with breakfast. Just an omelette and some type of meat (Tom Kah Gai this morning).


Don't make it hell on yourself. Slow and steady. cut down on stodge and beer, get out walking for an hour every day. That soon becomes jogging, then running. Enjoy it, don't make it a chore that you don't enjoy. I'm kind of in training for an upcoming running race, after that I'm picking up a mountain bike and part of my exercise will be heading off to a jungle hill and braining meself off a tree twice/trice a week.

Go for it Lu... after that I'm picking up a mountain bike and heading up to Doi Suthep...

Watched the Italians practice for their bike race up Vesuvio - their thighs were bigger round than my chest

Thanks for the encouragement... again!

When I put my mind to it I can easily lose 5 or 6 kg over 2 or 3 weeks, but then at some point I just think 'bollox', and it all goes back on.

I know myself well enough not to try and completely cut everything out, that's just not sustainable for me. I need to but cut back on things and get more active. Generally white bread, cake, biscuits, chocolate are no problem, I don't eat them. I like potatoes and brown bread, so will cut them down. As for sugary drinks, cokes and stuff, I just never touch them. Fruit juices I need to cut down on, but it just seems wrong to cut down on fruit, but I accept it is full of sugar so will limit my intake.

My real problem are those habitual evening Leos... that is why having my gym session in the early evening should hopefully kill two birds with one stone.

42 lengths of the pool is half a kilometre (42 x 12 = 504m) which seemed like a good figure to start on, but I see no reason why that shouldn't be a full kilometre in the very near future. I certainly have the time. I've just discovered Spotify (yeah... late to the party...) and got meself some fancy Bluetooth speakers, so the swimming is actually quite enjoyable as I rediscover a lot of long forgotten about music. The daughter joining me for 20 or so lengths also breaks the monotony!

I do a mile or so dog walk every morning, but with 4 dogs on leads it's not exactly fast paced... I spend more time untangling the leads than actually walking. But hopefully if i keep it going and start to lose weight I'll do a second walk with the two young dogs who would probably enjoy a slow jog, and could certainly use the discipline.

So, it's all easy really! I've just got to do it. Basically, I'm just sick of being overweight.

It's going to be a difficult week though... I have to meet up with an old mate/work colleague on Sukhumvit on Wednesday afternoon... and I appreciate that just because you meet up at lunch time there is no reason you should still be drinking at 2am... but that's just the way things seem to turn out!

Like I say, I'm not going to cut out everything... I just want to change my general routines and take it from there.

Yeah, those fookers have some serious leg power.

• 6:37/km

1: 06:12, which included "3rd best estimated 5k effort (31:46)" and is a new personal best, down from 1: 09:xx last week.




: 06: and : 09: becomes a fokin' smiley face when done without a gap. -_-

Got a sub 30 minute 5 k in last night.


Then again this morning.



This morning's run doesn't show the untimed 3 k run back.

Time to start pushing it out to 10 k I reckon.

^ Damn good times.

Bicep, back, and 4 hands oil massage day today.


Hit the scales at 75.5kg this morning and starting to be seriously chiseled. *gheyyyy*

Time to get back on the horse


Did the first minute of that
It will be a few Months before i'll be inviting Batty and Snubby over to On Nut Fight Club


This is much better than walking around uneven parks with rabbid soi dogs in 40 degree heat





I tried to run the last km at 9kmh but got to 4.5k before nearly falling off and putting it back at 6.5kmh. I'll try and do that twice a day now

Time to do my post Xmas weight check

Not too bad
