I did yesterday lunchtime. Ran a mile down river, left my top and shoes there, then ran a mile back barefoot in swimming shorts, swum back down, and then ran home (via Morrisons for doughnuts obviously). None of the dog walkers I met seemed to care.
I draw the limit at running wearing just speedos (except on the beach obviously), but I don't see anything wrong with running along a country path with no top on (or biking with no top on for that matter).
In many German cities, it's common for people to head to the park and sunbathe au naturel over thei lunch hour. I didn't realise this.
So, when sauntering in to the park to tuck in to my lunchtime sandwhich, I found myself confronted with several naked bodies. All were of the variety that you wouldn't really want to see. Apart from one of my colleagues. She was of the other variety, and was rather pleasant to see.
Was very odd going to a meeting with her later that afternoon though. Couldn't help thinking, "I've seen your...."

[*]Why not get naked, carry a torch and run through the town shouting "NAKED OLYMPICS" as loud as you can?
If it's really hot I'll take my shirt off, but only if I'm out in the countryside, not round the streets. Sometimes people stare.
Kev
On a practical (and maybe boring) note. Wear a lightweight running vest to start, then whip it off when you're out of sight of work/general public*.
*Delete as lardiness dictates.
I remember being in Munich a few years ago and bursting into laughter when walking through the park, the GF asked why I was laughing then I mention the old boy with his old boy out, slightly different to the goings on in our village.
hang on a mo. Yeti? Has own pelt and does not need a shirt surely?

I don't think even Oakleys have technology that could save peoples' eyes from the glare of the sun reflecting off my belly as I appear over the horizon.
*Hums "What's that coming over the hill? Is it a Munro..."*
Sun's out... Guns out
Watch out for the guns....they're gonna get ya...

Thank you brakes... I'm here all week.
I opted for a light t-shirt for the first 500m then as soon as I hit the bridleways went skins.
This weather is flipping awesome. An hour of running without a care in the world... sun beating down on my back, got completely lost... Awesome!!!

That wasn't the gym, that was the lake.
I was in the gym around 11:20am.

Lightweight.
I stopped off at the gym on my way to work... 8am 😛
Loser.
06:30 i was at the gym, both of you bow down to me
TSY - I'd be really interested in knowing what your daily routine is regarding exercise and maintaining weight loss.
Do you think its made you a happier person, more secure and more confident? Are you happy with your current physic and if not, how much longer do you think it'll be before you achieve this?
From what I've read on your threads, you sound pretty buff already. Do you think you'll reach your desired goals or its it unachievable?
flange - I don't do it for the physique although I don't deny it's a pleasing side effect.
Exercise wise I average towards 3 hours a day. A mix of swimming, cycling, running, yoga and freeweights.
I eat healthily, in broad keeping with the iDiet, but top up with a lot of simple carbs and fruit. I reckon that when I'm exercising a lot not getting enough bread or cake has the opposite impact on my weight to what you'd imagine. Essentially I eat whatever the **** I like, whenever the hell I want.
Does exercising and eating make me happy... definitely. I love the buzz of exercise and feeling knackered at the end of the day... that feeling when you finally get to bed... ahhhh bliss.
sorry.
Just been out to cruise the Campus and treat all the girlies to a bit of eye damage as I saunter through the Campus, to Costa and back....

I love the feeling of being thin, can't stand any wobble around the middle. Lately I've been eating like a horse, possible combination of added work (but easy close off) and a bit of RnR (eg; Beer'idge) and less stress. I got into a size 30 waist pair of Rapha shorts a couple of weeks ago, they're a bit tight on me now.. Normally stick around a 32 waist, any larger (very rarely go larger) and I feel like the guy in the photo on Page1.
More biking for me this week and next and the week after will trim me right back again. Always been lean and lythe.
Spotted a Mate who I'd not seen in a year last Sat, fit as a butchers wooofda he was, says he's been living on chips since he left his Mrs... hmmm yeah right.

[i]hmmm yeah right[/i]
Actually, I reckon you can eat [i]rubbish[/i] and stay thin.
If thats what you like.
By the sounds of it, TSY is lean, but probably totes a good P2W ratio.
Ees a competitor, innit.

You don't have to be thin to be happy. I got that from Ch4 last night.

😆 what a funny thread, definitely cheering me up.
As for Channel 4 last night - words fail me. 😯
By 5am I'd finished my 10km run to the station, hilly Sussex route, 8kg pack. 49 minutes dead - not spectacular timewise but good enough...
Do I win?
(oh, and wearing top - rucksack straps + bare shoulders don't go)

Not for me it wasn't 8)
Okay so I tried this at lunchtime; mainly to get rip of the tan lines I got doing a marathon+ a couple of weeks ago.......and to get rid of a bit of pasteyness.
I drove 2 miles to an FC car park and kept it all off road; lunch time run and ascent is a focus at the moment.
Observations:
1. If you wear a cap and don't spot a low hanging branch you may run into it; no problem.
2. If running into the low hanging branch causes it to snap and give you a laceration extending from the forehead to the ear you have absolutely nothing to wipe the blood from your face.
3. Not only did I look like as I was topless, I also looked liked an absute beserker with blood pouring down my face.
I'd ditched carrying toilet roll to now that there's plenty of foliage about.
