Almost back to Peak Physical Condition

[blazed]

As most know I am a competitive racer. Competing on Strava I am a professional amateur winning KOM's in the 200lb+ category.

I did recently let myself go, my weight ballooned to 16st and i was struggling for motivation. I was not sure how I allowed it to happen. But I overcame it. I stopped cycling and started running, I needed a break from two wheels. These past 3 weeks have been strict diet and exercise regime. Whilst being on a serious calorie defecit I have still maintained muscle mass with a high protein intake and heavy weight lifting.
This was my weight this morning

A stone and half weight loss in 3 weeks, now just a few lbs off 200. The ideal weight for a climber combining the maximum blend of power and nimbleness.

The moral of the story is even at your lowest, never give up.

He doesn't mean running, he means he's had the runs.

If I weighed over 14 stone I'd give up completely, it's bad enough hauling my under 13 stone weight, over 6ft, up hills.

Ermmm. You can't be a professional amateur!

7lb a week weight loss is extreme and not a healthy option. If you have lost this much then this will not just be fat that has been lost.

Really? You've not come across Blazed before? He's either a hilarious daffodil or a truly annoying and obnoxious one depending how much of your thought processing time you're prepared to give him.

great to know that our resident 200lb+-pro-am-comp-racer is back on top form... never actually racing but always winning!

A hiding to nothing?

This kid thought he would beat me up the road today, what do they know these youngsters today.
"Hey old man I'm a competitive racer," the cheeky little blighter said.
I wasn't having that so I gave it everything, my heart rate was maxing out at 130 but I won. Yay me!
He came up later, huffing and puffing. "I won" he said
"Yeah but, I was here first" I said.
"Not according to my little friend Strava you weren't"
