Watch out Mo Farah, Rachie is gonna chase you down.

Looking good shuffler.

Start yesterday. The sooner you start, the sooner you will reap the benefits.

Well done, inspirational

Look up the book "Convict Conditioning" it is all about building strength using body weight exercises. No power rack needed for that, just a body.

I reckon you'll beat him in four rounds as he tires.

You must feel like you've been run over by a train. Chuffed to bits. :-)

Great progress. Keep doing what you are doing, 'cos what you are doing is doing it fine.

Thanks folks. It feels great.

Looking great. Well done.

Still doing Parkrun. New PB today. Stronglifts 5X5 helping.

Don't worry about it. I started the Stronglifts 5X5 and felt really self conscious when I was starting with an empty Olympic bar. I thought everyone was looking at me. Nobody was, they were focussed on their own workout. Starting with low weights helps you develop good form. This is essential before you move up to "Heavy".…

I'm after motivation ans support too. Plateaued at the moment, but I know I will crack it. Add me please.

Step away from the Smith machine. Use an Olympic bar and learn proper technique, it uses more of your body and ultimately gets better results.

Find your local ParkRun. Timed, but non-competitive, 5km every Saturday morning. Great way to monitor progress. www.parkrun.com

Great job. It is only your best run ever until your next one, you will get better and better.

Remember guys. Squat. Because somewhere out there, a woman is warming up with your max.

Great work. I'm also an awkward Brit and my current objective is to get under 17st. Been plateaued at 17 2 for nearly two months but I will get there. I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5 so even though the weight isn't dropping I'm changing shape. Weight is just one of the numbers and I'm not exclusively focussed on that. Any tips…

Superb effort.

Still doing Parkrun every Saturday morning. Weight stable but times improving. Next target for me is to break 30 mins for my 5k.

Excellent story, happy anniversary. Helps keep my eye on the prize.

Great job.

You look great. Now go and make your bed. :-)

50 and always looking for more friends.

Our local run today had a fancy dress theme as one of the regulars was starting here Hen Party with a 5k run. I was lapped by one "bridesmaid", but managed to keep ahead of the main bridal party.

I think cc is great, especially if you are strapped for cash. No gym fees, you are already equipped with all the equipment you need.

Lancashire, but Mackem by birth. Happy to be added. FTM
