Then the important and hardest bit, 15min sauna and steam room without farting!

Walking briskly away from cakes, choc's, pies, pasties and other fattening foods is always a good way to start.

Personally if losing weight I prefer to avoid the carbs rather than fat.

I do try but my left knee is f*cked off to see the quack tomorrow hope he doesn't recommend

Personally I find cycling supports the knee. I believe you were thinking of this? Good luck and please keep us informed.

Yes, that's why I was thinking of going for direct injection

Do you see what I did there?

Try doing sprint intervals for the running/cycling. It really pushes your cardio system:

How To Do Sprinting Intervals On A Treadmill | LIVESTRONG.COM

Six sessions of sprint interval training increases muscle oxidative potential and cycle endurance capacity in humans


I do a minute on full sprint (18kph) then a minute walking (4kph) repeated 5 times. Took me 2 months of 1 gym session a week to go from 14kph up to 18

and make sure you do plenty of squats with those weights!

So, from what you are saying, I should put my c2-5k on hold (currently doing 2k straight run in 13min 23sec, due to increase to 3km this based on a plan I have) and do 2-3 weeks of sprint training? Ditto for the bike? i.e. all the plans i have are about exercising for a time period, which then increases, as Im starting from scratch.

Reading those articles etc it seems better for me to do sprint training for 2-3 weeks and then do a couple of weeks normal program to build up the distance? Make sense? or should 1 session of the 3 a week be sprint based?

This morning, I managed a reasonable 7.4km bike (15min) 2km run (13:24) and 200m swim (I'm tulip at swimming...) plus usual upper body weight routine (strengthening shoulder!). Not bad for a 1st day, and I dont feel too bad now.

I bet you feel brilliant!

Just remember your body never wants to start exercising. But once you get going it is superb!

I was really really rubbish at swimming. Following a few lessons I have upgraded to merely rubbish.

Can either of you recommend an online training log? Asics only do running...
