Go for it Mark, if my dad can do it then you won't have a problem. He does trail running and park runs with a few local running clubs and is really into it, and counts calories and makes sure he has less than is recommended for a day.
Are you going to do a miles challenge again for the year? I really want to beat Iain this time
Despite my post above I was passing Edinburgh on my way home yesterday, and went into Decathlon and bought a turbo trainer. When I figure out the instructions will hopefully do quite a bit on it over the winter whilst awaiting decent weatherIf the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

It seems like once you get that fat around the waist it's the hardest thing to get rid of!
For me exercise leads to actually liking healthier foods, so it all helps. I've accepted that I might not be able to get back to the shape I was in when younger, but that's ok with me. When I was that in shape I got paid to work out on the clock (military) so it's really not fair to think I can make enough time to do it now with a job that doesn't give me much exercise.
It sounds like you had some fun with your exercise, and that makes it much more interesting. Part of me says don't worry about miles, etc, but at the same time I need to know what kind of calorie burn I am getting to figure in what it takes to loose weight. In my case I can be my own worst enemy at times. I get a good hard ride in, then come back craving salad or something healthy. But while in recovery mode later in the day, I eat the stuff I know I shouldn't eat.

Nice one. I'm hoping to do about 20-30 minutes per day on the excercise bike if it turns out to be any good. Turbo is a great way to go when it's cold and icy outside. Maybe if you get the training miles in we can actually go for a ride once it's nice enough for your road bike to venture out

I've set myself the goal of getting to 12stone (76kg) by the time the clocks go back at the end of March which is 12 weeks from today. That would mean losing 1.5 pounds per week. Hard but not impossible.
I've done myself a spreadsheet with graphs etc, but the last time I used that I failed miserably!Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Maybe we should set up some other challenges on Endo or something? That opens up more possibilities. If you guys do miles challenges I will join and get soundly beat, but that's fine with me! It's a given that anyone that mountain bikes will suffer a disadvantage compared to the road bike crew, but calories challenges might even things out some for those that do things other than bike.
