Amps go download (and buy it if you like it obviously) insanity max 30. you’ve never worked that hard in your life, i promise. i do hill/stair sprints at least twice a week too, it’s phenomenal exercise.

Yup. Insanity lives up to its name. It’s basically HIIT but very intense intervals. I popped my achilles doing that halfway through a basketball season. Bastards.

Millsy that’s a brutal injury. you can definitely get hurt doing it if you’re not prepared and careful. in 2011 i did og insanity twice through in 18 straight weeks. got into pretty good shape, but i promptly got sick at the end as i was so run down. wouldn’t do that again, two or three times a week enough. during month two i was eating 4000 calories a day while losing weight.

I’ve had a little doubt about the Oxford results, that I’d like to see explained. Nothing sinister, there’s just a jumble of info around effectiveness / dosing that’s not totally been answered since results were published.

UK approval is only for the full / full dose, not the ½ / full that was miraculously better.

This article posts some of those questions, no answers yet though…..

Lads do what I do, a gentle 40 minute run 3-5 times a week and 2 meals a day.

Also use a good face wash (Kiehl’s) and a good moisturiser and, like your ole mucka OLB, you’ll look 25 4 ever.

Hursty

Smallman1 Can’t argue with the running or 2 meals a day, solid advice.

Do you space your meals out much, or in a narrow window?

Amps

Smallman1 a gentle 40 minute run

Need to raise my resting metabolism, little else works for me, so interval training is a must.

Breakfast and lunch, no supper.

The result?

I’ve done 200kms this week on the bike - two of them stricter interval sessions. Today I’m got some VO2 Max intervals which I’m not looking forward too. Put in 4kgs since my op, birthdays and Christmas.

Fuckin lols!

Amps when you’re as fit as mr, Amps, it takes a long time and a lot of hard work to lose that sort of weight. And it’s essential for racing.

I put on 4kgs in salted caramel profiteroles yesterday.

Interesting that they are now saying 12 weeks to get second vaccine dose rather than 3-5 weeks. I think this could be a smart move given how little actual vaccine we have. We were promised 100m doses but obviously we donlt actually have it and now that the government hav to actually deliver on their promises they are backtracking.

Got my first one this morning

Which one did you get. My father who’s 76 and still works full time for the NHS is getting his next week.

benson

Dubman Pfizer. Our hospital is starting next week but Oxford, as the regional hub, let me have it a bit earlier, but now have a 12 week wait. Things are getting really serious. I think things are going to get a lot worse over the next couple of weeks before they start to calm down. I am back on night shifts again. But not doing covid, just keeping the normal services running. We completely stopped last time and we can’t do that again, we have to remain open for other business.

Sadly the wrong people die from these things

alistair you don’t fancy the early morning freezing cold run?

On reflection, because I can barely get off the couch at the moment, this might have to become an option.

First run. Nearly killed me. So cold I could barely breathe. Legs are now fucked from trying to carry the gut. Can’t wait to do it again tomorrow.

I think my dad’s getting the Pfizer jab as well. We are very lucky living down on the south coast in Worthing. We are in Tier 4 but that’s due to other towns in Sussex. I still reckon it’ll be summer before where back to some normality.
