Only the best third.. !Tiggertoo wrote: ↑6 May 2022, 3:14pmDoes that mean a third of you is now in the denims? I am wondering what third that might be.
I am holding steady at 100 miles a week, but not a lot of climbing in these routes - maybe 2,000 feet. I need to ramp that up but temps are now hitting 90F, so necessitating early morning rides don't allow for much above those miles.

I have to say that putting on weight is a good deal easier than taking it off. You have to give up all pastries, sweets, chocolates and only reasonable pieces of bread. It's the end of life as we knew it.
60 miles today and 92F. Much too hot! If this goes on - and the forecast says it will get much hotter - 98F this weekend - I will have to do my rides during the night.

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
Personally speaking, I don't give up anything when trying to lose weight. I just eat less of the things that I know are highly calorific, and more of the things which are very low calorie: green vegetables, cauliflower, fish and white meat. I can lose a stone quite easily in a month. My secret is not to eat after 6pm on the days I'm putting in the miles, and to water fast all the way into the next day around 10am. That's 16 hours where the body has absolutely no choice but to metabolise body fat as it's only source of fuel. I try to weigh myself only once a week, any more than that and you just get disillusioned.
Try it, I guarantee you'll be surprised at the results!

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
Hi,
Up to 12 miles a day for last ten weeks
Over 14 / day for the last month.
Managed to venture up on to dart moor last friday evening, a short run flat out with a tailwind and numb below the waist, stupid descending back to flat lands as it was dark, and struggled home.
3h 20 mins and despite taking two water bottles did not drink a drop (to chilly) and stopped for about ten seconds to tighten my lid, one kilo light after ride. Cadence was up to 50.............avg........

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
Nice for some - I can't put on weight for the life of me. I'm eating a ludicrous amount these days (including crappy food), but with 2x 6.5-7mi commute rides per day, sometimes longer in the morning if I have time on my hands, my metabolism has been turned up to 11.Tiggertoo wrote: ↑7 May 2022, 1:28am I have to say that putting on weight is a good deal easier than taking it off.

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
Hi,
Unless you have a medical condition?
Then it's probably just your habit which means you can't put on weight, I'm not criticising just saying that when they have the programs on TV, people couldn't lose weight and people couldn't put weight on, the ones who couldn't put weight on just had to change their eating habits, same said for people who can't lose weight.
It would be interesting to hear exactly what you eat?
I'm quite happy to say what I eat and my weight is stable although I could probably do with losing a stone like everybody else.
When I've been doing 12 and 24 hour endurance ride on my own I couldn't eat enough on the bike and had to stop and stuff my face full 10 to 15 minutes before I can carry on because I was using too much energy.

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
59Kg is 130lbs in real money, so that is almost anorexic! Actually, rather like pro racers, so you are down there with the best.Currently weighing around the 59kg mark at around 5'11"...
With a recent headline saying half of all Brits are obese (which means the rest must be getting there), being so light must set you apart. Not a bad way to be, really. Keep it down!
Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
I'm trying to put on a little bit but I'm not concerned about my weight. I'm healthy enough and get to eat what I want without repercussion so that's nice!Tiggertoo wrote: ↑20 May 2022, 3:35pm59Kg is 130lbs in real money, so that is almost anorexic!

Not sure I appreciate the 'almost anorexic' comment on the other hand...
Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
That’s a BMI of around 18. You must be virtually skeletal. I thought I was skinny, as do my friends and family at 1.86M and 69K, a BMI of 20.Benz3ne wrote: ↑24 May 2022, 8:42amI'm trying to put on a little bit but I'm not concerned about my weight.

I'm skinny but not 'skeletal'. I do need to put on a little weight but I'm not unhealthy imo.David2504 wrote: ↑26 May 2022, 8:22amThat’s a BMI of around 18. You must be virtually skeletal.

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
Well you can have some of my kg if you want! i'm 5'10" and the last time i was as light as you i was about 12! I weigh @ 87kg atm give or take, my skinny racing weight was 76kg and i looked a rake at that. I'd prefer to be closer to 80kg but even riding quite briskly for a couple of hundred miles every week doesn't make any real impact even if i starve myself.Benz3ne wrote: ↑26 May 2022, 9:34amI'm skinny but not 'skeletal'.

Re: 10 Miles per Day 2022
Interesting! I've always been slim. The most I've weighed is when I was playing rugby and going to the gym during university. I was just shy of 70kg but had an 85kg bench, 105kg squat and 140kg deadlift...foxyrider wrote: ↑26 May 2022, 7:03pmWell you can have some of my kg if you want! i'm 5'10" and the last time i was as light as you i was about 12!
