Weight / Fat loss

You are doing it way quicker than me dude; my metabolism was (is?) not as good as many people.

Long journey yes but the payoff is good! Do you have a target? Mine was 7 mins up box hill or something daft ..

as soon as my sore calf is better (will see when i run this weekend) I have a shit ton of miles to do up until april and beyond. most of which are meant to be done at 9.5/10 min/mile pace, you're always welcome to get involved.

having someone to talk to helps me keep it at the prescribed easy/conversational pace as well and not speed up.

100 kg - I can treat myself to my favourite sandwich from Pronto Cafe, the New Yorker
92 kg - I can have a pizza
76 kg - I can treat myself to hiut jeans
67 kg (22 BMI) - I finally ask you out.

I also want to do this super awesome secret fun activity I had planned a couple of years ago but have procrastinated. Am aiming to do it April 17 if I get light enough.

You can talk while you run. Are you some sort of wizard?

"Fuck... Running... sucks... massive... arse... bus.... driver.... fuck.... you.... bet..ter..... wait.... fuck!"

I also want to stop being embarrased when I go to meetings. My job involves organising cycle races and a lot stakeholders have a certain disbelief when I tell them that I'm really into cycling.

Clearly not enough Rapha

Also what!?

fwiw when i went from 135kg to ~87kg back in 2010 I did almost all of it through running, when I then felt skinny enough to get a bike and I joined the forum and got into cycling I dropped maybe the last stone cycling and running but once I switched to just cycling I mostly just maintained my weight (and then ballooned when the cunting van driver drove into me and I was off the bike for nearly 6 months) but I also used to drink a metric fucktone of booze as cycling also meant I could get to the pub easier. thing is I wasn't training for a race I was just doing lots of 5-10k runs and maybe a hill session once a week/fortnight.

tldr; running helped me lose weight better than cycling but I did mostly just cycle to the pub.

Do you run down the CS7 route? I could join you for some of it (south from oval) sometimes.

That's so rude. Tell them you're twice the man Chris Froome is.

I do. most likely will be on mondays, thursdays & possibly fridays.

Ok cool, let's arrange it. I've only been doing this commute for a few weeks and I'm already bored.

I got up Box Hill in under 7 mins when I was 86kg......it's not all about weight.

Fair.

86 kilo? When was that? 2010?

then you sir are better-er

I got up Box Hill in under 7 minutes when I was 96kg... it's all about weight... muscle weight.

BEEFCAKE!!!

Yeah pre-Grupetto days

You basically flattened the hill.

Actually, that was like 7 fucking years ago! I need to go back and fix that slow-ass 6min time.

So it should be faster now.

Steam-roll the motherfucker!
