CavemanLynn Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 It's simple conditioning. You walk loads, your body gets good at it; you don't cycle so much, so it takes longer to adapt. Quote
Wideload90 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Been told by my consultant that exercise will cure my ailments (stress mainly). I'm struggling to find time with work and a new addition to the family but know that I need to do something. At this stage I'm ruling out running (I regularly experience gout - yay for Tudor diets) and live near too many of my students... Cycling is a no go for my inability to ride properly. Any suggestions for exercises that can reduce stress whilst also being time efficient would be greatly appreciated. Quote

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted November 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 19, 2018 Anybody ever done any hiking/walking challenges? Got a few mates interested in tacking some next year but would like to hear some stories before I fully commit. Quote
Paid Members waters44 Posted November 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Are you talking about the ultra challenges? Ive not done one but it’s my aim to have a crack at a 25km one next year to see what it’s like. Have a look at their website, there is lots of info on there https://www.ultrachallenge.com/the-events Edited November 19, 2018 by waters44 Quote
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted November 20, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 20, 2018 Yeah, definitely something along those lines. We were looking at https://oxfamapps.org/trailwalker/ However, my friends and colleagues are mostly tight as fuck so it will be difficult for us to raise the £350 required to enter. Seems like there's some decent options on the website you posted - thanks! Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 21, 2018 Moderators Posted November 21, 2018 I've just started exercising again for the first time since my daughter was born in Feb. Signed up to a local gym and alternating evenings with my wife after the little one has gone to bed. It means we have a bit less alone time together which sucks, as that is scarce as it is, but I feel really good for it. My body has been a wreck lately and I've been feeling it. Quote
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted November 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 21, 2018 Since getting back into trick skating again and becoming obsessed, I've decided that I want to spend sometime out in nature and on the trails exercising. I'm in the process of putting together a new skate for this purpose. Got myself some hard boots and a massive Tri frame with 110mm wheels which are twice the size of what I'm used to. A few of the people I skate with are already into this so I'm looking forward to getting Winter over with so I can get some miles outside under my belt. Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 21, 2018 This was me on 15th March. Ashamed to admit - 24st 2lbs. This is now. 17st 2lbs. Still a long way to go but I'm up for the challenge! Quote
D@mm Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 What did you do to lose all that weight Rick, fair play to you. Quote

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 21, 2018 Moderators Posted November 21, 2018 I have no idea how you can lose weight whilst getting into baking. That's some willpower... Quote
