good job Kenny - keep it up.

Another tip is to drink 0.5l/a glass water before meals - reduces appetite. Also about 70% of people are constantly dehydrated, and this can increase your food intake.

Set yourself goals and challenges - if you can turn this in to the equivalent of a few laps at Knockhill, something i've never seen you struggle for will power to do, then you are laughing.

First month will be the hardest, but track your success - it will motivate you further.

Which reminds me I'm meant to be running tonight.............

Best of luck

As for Mikeys marathon training - 10 miles is easy - wait till you hit the proper wall post 20!!

Best of luck with it Kenwood.

I used to be significantly heavier than I am now. Started hill walking for the Caley Challenge (54 miles in 24 hours) and then moved onto running. 5k, 10k, half and then a whole. Long distance running isnt that hard you just need to be stuborn. 4.10.37 to beat! :wink: :mrgreen: As per what the others said dont take on too much too fast. :thumbsup

You should join us for our Weds cycles....canal paths and country roads and crap chat :thumbsup

I'm planning on a Sunday cycle with Dom too if you're about. I'll keep you company whilst Dom shoots off into the distance!!

Oh and I hate busy road cycling too... But the routes we use are so quiet you end up thinking the roads we use are private and just for us!!

:cheers

Good luck Kenny.

Cut on your junk food and do regular workouts. I do about 7 hours of workouts a week and keep the fat % relatively low (about 7%).

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
