Ok then hello all. A returning runner looking for the latest thoughts.
Primarily, running for my personal pleasure and for fitness.
In the interim since I last ran, I have gathered a lot of me in fact there is 18 and a half stones of me now. I want to be down to a reasonable weight quickly but not so quick that I get injured and or fed up of running. Also, I have a big muscle bulk as a residual from my days ( many moons since) as a racing cyclist. I am fully well aware that exercise alone will not reduce my bulk. I would also like to say that when I was last running I got down to my apparently correct weight. This was around 12 stones. Fraankly everyone thought I was auditioning for a role in a holocaust movie. I really did look ill.
If it helps I'm 6'1" tall and have as I said a very big physique.
All help gratefully received. I intend to see how I go and then maybe enter something or other next year.
Cheers
Bear
