My Forum

I used to play American football and at my "peak" weighed 22 stone and ran for 30 minutes at a time quite regularly.

Now at an anorexic 19 and a half I have just got back into running - well very slow staggering - and as long as u listen to ur body and dont overdo it u should be fine.

Nice to see some other fat blokes on the thread

Morning all

Just been out for a stagger around the local reservoir. 24 minutes!! However I bet its not longer than a mile and a half. So someone walking at a decent pace would probably keep up with me, which is kinda embarrassing but I know if I keep at it I will get quicker.

Anyway the last few mins were tough but the dog loved it - especially his paddle at the end to clean his paws.

Hope everyone else is goin well and those of us injured are getting better.

Hi all

went out this morning and instead of doing run 1 walk 1 I just set off nice and steady to see how long I could run.

20 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was tired at around 15 but wasnt too hard to keep goin for the twenty.

Let there be no misapprehensions my "running" is v v slow - i get passed by people with walking frames.

Still chuffed to have made 20 minutes.

k anne - i have a border collie x labrador - he is insatiable. He can run for hours come home lie down for 5 minutes then wants to do it again!!

Rachel - the aliens were very scary. Keep an eye out for them!!
