The non drinking thread

Fixed that for you

Thanks. But I'm not the one telling all and sundry that I fancy a pint or could murder a fag!

Some people have it, others don't.

How am I disputing this? Come down off the soap box. This is about total abstainance versus glass ceiling approach I think.

Hmmm an article that paid scant regard to the laws of physics then...

Wrong. I walk at 5+ miles / hour (being six feet four helps here.)

To quote:

The study was conducted by the Washington University School of Medicine for the purpose of investigating the energy expenditure and perceived exertion levels of walking and running at various speeds. The subjects each walked for 5 minutes at various paces ranging from 4 to 10.4 kilometers per hour and ran for 5 minutes at paces from 7.2 to 10.4 kilometers per hour. This study concluded that walking burns more calories than running at speeds greater than 8 kilometers per hour (5 miles per hour). The study also showed that walking felt harder than running at speeds over 5 miles per hour. (J Sports Med Phys Fitness. 2000 Dec;40(4):297-302).


And...

...when walking at increasing paces you eventually reach a point at which the walking becomes more difficult than running. That point is called the preferred walk-run transition speed (PTS). It is at this point that walking begins to burn more calories than running. The study from Washington University showed that this point occurs at approximately 5 MPH.

You should CMs little legs when I walk at (my)normal speed...

That's conclusive proof then thanks - I'm convinced

[DS23]

still off the sauce?

Correct. Much more "conclusive" than your claim of people simply "breaking the laws of Physics". Still, if you can point me in the direction of a peer-reviewed scientific paper substantiating your claims, I'd be more than glad to consult it (Nature Physics or Nature Medicine would be ideal.)

Oh, you're one of those blokes. I hate trotting along 5 paces behind

[Zippy]

I wonder if I could have a 2 fag a day limit? Still off them btw.

I wouldn't try it - most people can't restrict themselves. If you are still off the fags you are doing well, so why screw it up now?
