It looks like Saturday will NOT come too early for Palmer.

Spit - never beaten by an ostrich 🤣 but maybe by the rhinos, jeez those marines are fit and fast!! Beat Katie Price and Peter André too though 🤪

I heard Bernie Clifton and his ostrich beat you in a marathon a4e 😂😂

About 7 years ago I went from 16 stone 2 to ,12 stone 10. I'm only 5 foot 6 I looked like someone had drawn a face on a baloon. I found that cycling was the best way to lose weight because I was able to fit it in as my commute. Using that, a fitness tracker and an app called my fitness Pal. Done the Prudential Ride London twice which I'd never thought I would have done.

Hard to run a marathon carrying extra poundage - Frank “You Know What I Mean, Harry” Bruno was a regular London Marathon runner - had a quick chat with him once along the Embankment about 2 miles from the finish, how he did it was amazing with his size and weight, what a great guy!

Marathon runners are often skinny runts Kent - goes with the territory 🤣

Spit - when, in the 90s? 😂

I'm not saying I'm fat,but my Hula hoop stopped working 😂

Runners dont look healthy. Anyway when's the WUP fitness video dropping?😂

Skinny runt. That explains a lot.

Really? If that’s your choice, enjoy - not my thing at all 🤣

Kite - when I used to do a lot of long runs (10k, half marathons and marathons), I used to have to be told to eat more - the running reduced my appetite rather than increasing it, and my craving for treats was less.... probably different for hulking rugger dudes and weightlifters..... marathon runners tend to be wiry skinny runts like me 🤣

Bottomless lentil soup. Delightful!

I eat what I want when I want - no clock-watching for me 🙌

The more you burn, the more you can eat. Think of it as a profit & loss account

Sav - indeed 👍

I’ve shifted permanently to a 16:8 diet, i.e. eating in an eight-hour window between 12pm-8pm. The best thing is you can basically eat what you want in the evenings. I stuff my face.

Part of the challenge about weight loss / management is that it’s not as simple as “go to the gym” or “go for some walks” - you definitely can’t outrun a bad diet!

Nice touch ,is that you Wu in red looking like a dart player? [Link]

Alan - no thanks, I don’t like Red Bull 🤣 but I’ll have those chips, oh yes!!

A4E, you can watch tv on the treadmill eating a bag of chips, with donuts for afters, washed down with redbull for a net reduction of nil within a couple of hours at a gym....

I also believe everything the bbc tells me

Kite - true, but for some people, walking outdoors through the cold winter and wet weather just won’t happen, so they prefer the routine of a treadmill in the dry with headphones on, plus they can alternate walking and static cycling which helps the heart even if it’s not necessarily going to make them lose all the extra weight 👍

Spit - once to see if it’s open yet, then go home because you forgot your mask and your vaccine passport, and then back again..... 😂

I would love to walk to the pub twice a day 😂
