I'd be wreck after 10 minutes of that. Sailing around 10-11kmph for an hour is my absolute limit, unless I want to truly knacker my knees. If you can run 5km in 23 minutes I salute you. That's professional running and then some. Curious what age are you?"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I would like to think I could still break 20 mins for a 5k if I got to race weight.Comment

It has been absolutely brilliant. Eating and drinking like Henry 8th.
Now I have lost a stone and a bit and eat probably half the calories I did before, and exercise most days, I find that reverting to my old lifestyle for a week can put on 5lb!
