This morning, at about 6.30, I went running. It was the first real cardiovascular exercise I've had in nearly 6 months.
Oh my god, you get unfit really quickly!
After 4 minutes I started to feel sick. After 5 it was gone again. On the home stretch, 20 minutes in, it came back and I really thought I was going to puke.
And my legs have felt feeble and weak all day.
How long does it take to get back into shape?
I'd guess I was going 8-10 mph (though I'm really not sure), for 20 minutes.
To be fair, most of it didn't hurt (or make me fear for my stomach lining), but I used to be much fitter than this!
Still, I feel great for having done it.
Not sure whether I could keep up the early mornings though - but even in nice areas I've found that you can expect to get crap from random a**holes when you go running. Where I live now you're just asking for trouble.
To be fair, it probably wouldn't be the kind of crap mentioned in my other thread ('How far...') - well, at least that'd probably be rare.
But it's not nice to deal with any of that sort of stuff, and I'd much rather avoid it.
And I'm a poor student, so no gym for me either.
Thinking about it, it's really messed up when you can't go running in any populated area without expecting to get crap from strangers.
Are there any nice areas of the UK, where you can expect everyone will at least treat people with respect?
Anyway, got off topic a bit. How long does it take to get back to non-puking levels of fitness?

Left in Jan with the long-term view of going into the Fire service. I'm filling in time now.

Not Harlow, Old Harlow it's next to Harlow just it's not populated with morons and chavs. Mostly middle aged people and OAPs but it's pleasent enough.
Walk down the street early morning (as i often do) and random people smile or say 'Good morning'.
Say good morning to someone in harlow and they will assume your talking the pi$h and probably try to knife you. Or if it's monkey_man he will try to steal your pants.

Muscle is pretty heavy, you could be surrised.
Or maybe you just need a haircut :^P
Harlow? Nice? I've never been there, but I'd heard the reputation.

I remember walking into town with friends one evening, and one of our group started being obnoxious to a random jogger.
That guy was an a**-hole. We didn't get on well after that. Guess there are some things you don't learn at university.

Back home in Old Harlow i often see joggers when i travel around, never seen anyone getting stick though, most of the time people just try to make sure they are not going to get in their way, everyones quite pleasent really.
I cycle alot when i am at home and never have a problem when am travelling to the next town.
I'd say do exercise 2-3 times a week for 30 mins and you should start to notice a difference in a few weeks.
While i am at uni i most just do weights, i walk to uni which is about a mile and a half each way so thats not too bad for just normal daily activity should probably do a bit more though.

It's muscle, just not 2 stones of it. Must be the hair or earwax.
I read about that pole inside a dick thing, utterly gross. Still, curiosity is what makes us human.

Heh, I guess you can tell for yourself whether it's muscle or not.
(Sort of) on the subject, did anyone see cosmetic surgery tonight?
That guy getting his face peeled off was incredible, the kind of thing you only see in movie special effects.
It just peeled back like he was zipping out od a man suit!
As I see it, that's exactly what you want from television, to see incredible things you could never otherwise experience.
But people sticking a pole inside someone's d***, maybe not quite the same entertainment value...
I guess it's pretty subjective.

2 stones of muscles in 3 months? Seems unlikely.
2-3 times is good enough too, as long as you keep the heart active and "sweat out" during exercise it's good.
