303abuser Nice one 303!
Sports you play as an adult
Along_the_Wire Cheers. Just wish I’d started this in my 20s.
Have we covered Stunt Canoeing yet?
If Zacko isn’t olympic skill level at rollerblading, i will eat my imaginary hat…
Anyone on here do bodybuilding?
Thinks Amps used to.
Now he’s just a one man stream of Twitter bilge, Tory hate and awful bants.
Does he also have gynecomastia.. if so does anyone have pics? Asking for a friend..
303abuser I’ve read that taking turmeric supplements helps in that regard. Worth a shot.
Morty-C-137 Yeah I take turmeric and a bunch of other daily. It’s just carb inflammation, if I stay strict keto, I have almost no joint pain.
So what are everyone’s sporting plans for 2023? Any big races or events lined up?
Planning on doing some triathlons here with the long term vision of doing an iron distance race, but the Ultra running is still tickling my fancy. Not sure whether to have another go at 100 miler (3rd time lucky) or not
Hursty I’ve got 5 trail races (13-22 km) scheduled from may through october and a 50k in September for my A race. Doing base building now and start a 26 week block at the end of march. The ultra scares the shit out of me, so should make for good motivation.
What’s the major hurdles you’ve had with the 100 milers? Is it a fitness or nutrition thing, just tough days? That’s a distance I still don’t comprehend.
303abuser Nice one, sounds like a solid plan for the year, you’ll be fine for the 50k in September after that much training
Ultras are definitely more mental and physical, if you can overcome that voice which wants you to quit the more it hurts you’ll be fine. For me, I would say its mainly mental, I usually blame nutrition, dizziness, heat, physical condition, but fundamentally I could have carried on each time (binned 2 around 80 miles), just at a much slower pace which annoys me.
My mate said to me, the ultra game is all about finish lines, not finish times, which is so true, and I need to take that advice this year. Always have a time in mind and when I drop off the pace it gnaws away big style
Officially 2 stone heavier since moving to cyprus, I am participating in “meating”
ain’t seen my willy in 2 years!

Hursty It’s so difficult to shut that voice off. It’s one of the reasons I want to try longer distances, I’m curious as to how it feels and to see how mentally strong I really am. It’s so tough to not start too fast, get the hydration and nutrition right, being physically prepared, then to deal with pain and self doubt while executing a plan. It’s a really interesting puzzle to try to solve.
