Junkyard claims to be ill, the poor excuse maker. EXCUSES!
molly - do you remember when we rode a loop of the Twrch after my day of doing the uplift?
Nobody is inventing personalities except you Molly. The invention that you're a mtb racer to satisfy your ego and define yourself as something more than just someone who rides round on a bike trying to lose weight.
I can turn up and you can feel my engorged glands if you like 😯
You daft sod. Seriously.I used to race quite regularly, then I had kids...
Afraid. Jesus
An excuse is a reason not to do or achieve something THAT BLAMES SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR CONTROL.
Like 'my time was slow because of a headwind'.
Nothing I've said is outside of my control, is it? So they are simply factors. Should I claim that I have a great endurance physique, or should I claim that I have my whole weekends free?
You are not making sense.
lol, seriously.... i'm the daft one. an excuse is something that has to be out of the speaker of said excuses control... thats the definition is it?
"Should I claim that I have a great endurance physique, or should I claim that I have my whole weekends free?"
nobodies asking you to, you daft sod. seriously.
Junky - is that offer open to all of us? I can do a house call?
😀
Liking your motivation
I leave the thread for a few hours and we are stroking Junkyard's glands?
It was inevitable Jamie.
Well, at least something productive has come from the thread.
I'll get my fondling glove...
We're not using our hands...
Who said I wear it on my hand?

12 pages? Can someone give me a summary? And also tell me what page the Emily Batty pictures are on?
Realman - this is one of those threads you have to read yourself... you just wouldn't beleive it otherwise.
[i]5 pages of spurious advice[/i]
It's not though is it. Everyones advice has been the same. Comit to losing weight by stop eating crap, and put in the hours to train, then you'll get fast and win!!
Then we can stop this!!
Right, just got back from the BBC news filming me run - yes I really am that awesome! Celeb Big Brother awaits.
What have I missed?
emsz - my mrs thinks you're a genius. Your reappearance means she'll have to read todays nonsense too.
What have I missed?
Screw that! Why are the BBC filming you run, Ian? ...or is it part of the charter now? Will I be followed by a film crew when I go out in a few mins?
This is getting really surreal. I define myself as a racer now? Even if I did, wgaf?I honestly do not get what you ar e tryingto say about me. Do you think I am claiming to be great or something?
Phil yes, excuses are when you try to absolve yourself of responsibility when it resolution is your fault. Otherwise they are just reasons.
Yeti yes, I remember.
Emsz - yes , obvious. That it is what I do try to do. I don't succeed much, because I like cake too much and I get tired. Can you honestly find andthibg to argue about in that statement?
Only if you don't pay your licence do you get the service Jamie.
Do you think I am claiming to be great or something?
It does read like you do. I just think you're special.
Screw that! Why are the BBC filming you run, Ian?
Why?
They wanted to see if their camera was good enough to catch my awesomeness! It wasn't.
They gave me some guff that they were from BBC london and were filming a piece on the [url= http://www.endurancelife.com/realrelay/ ]Real Relay[/url], but I could see through their cover story.
I see the name Ian Munro in that list, which is nice. But how are we supposed to know it's not some big scam and you chose your user name way back in 2008 to build up our confidence in you before pulling said devilish scam? Eh? Eh?
You've foiled my plan there Don.
The Southern Yeti is set to win Olympic gold for Nepal in 6 weeks time.
All in a day's work. 😀
This is one of those threads when it would've been really nice to have had the tags back...
I used to race quite regularly, then I had kids...
If you're feeling a bit self conscious Molly, you could try this.

i cant find a single bit in any dictionary stating the excuses have to be beyond the person's control.
oh and you defined yourself as a natural sprint athlete, who says he wants to win races and used to race but is now 10kg overweight and doesn't want to get up early enough to put the work in to become a winning racer, but despite this still goes out at 10pm to 'train' for winning races, but wont give up teh sweeties.
you're an enigma.

MTFU training tip...
Excuses are like arseholes.
Everyone has one and all of them stink.

TIME is the final auditor. I tell students, "Don't bother to plan what you aren't going to do." Can you fulfill expectations on 5hrs/ week?
I'm not really into training, but enjoy swimming, ridng a bike, running, skiing, mountain walking, dancing and many more activities. Call it training if you want but I just see it as enjoying myself.
I like food and enjoy eating it all the more when there's no guilt about what I'm eating.
"Training" and "diet" are words with negative connotations. "Enjoying good food" and "enjoying being active" are easier to live with long term IME. Adopt an attitude that makes it mentally easy to cope with what you set out to do.
Just eaten a pack of sweet shrimps and flying saucers. Guilt free!
Yummy yummy in my tummy.
i've got 2 catering tubs of flying saucers in my spare room, for the wedding. nommynomnomz
This thread is in danger of becoming light hearted.
Can we have an injection of self pity please?
i've lost close to 3 stone since around this time last year and now i've lost it and am exercising regularly i've started snacking on sweet things regularly... this means i'm not going to end up with a six-pack 🙁
its not my fault though.
(any good?)
its not my fault though.
I'm not so sure. Have you identified the type of muscle fibre that you are made up of?
Would you say you are a natural sprinter or couch potato?
Are you on the idave variant diet where you're allowed to ovelook certain elements that are prohibited, but it doesn't really matter, does it?
There could be a list as long as your arm that will allow you to pass the buck.
Do you have long arms?
Is one longer than the other?
It really is a jungle out there, so be careful kids and wear a helmet.
HTH.
I think that I'm too muscular to be an endurance triathlete and should instead be a mens magazine cover model or world class boxer. The problem is that not only can I not get any lighter, I couldn't be any uglier and I really don't like being hit.
I also enjoy exercise so I'm concerned that I can't really call it training. Could this be the problem? If I didn't enjoy it would that make me better at it?
[b]Have you identified the type of muscle fibre that you are made up of?[/b]
yes. i had to cut through a fair amount of white stuff that looks like marshamllow to get to it, but i can confirm its pink and bleedy.
[b]Would you say you are a natural sprinter or couch potato?[/b]
IM DIFFERENT. i'm a natural sprinter but i use recovery films to ensure i'm ok to go again the next month.
[b]Are you on the idave variant diet where you're allowed to ovelook certain elements that are prohibited, but it doesn't really matter, does it?[/b]
why yes, yes i am.... allow me to explain. i avoid processed white carbs, apart from when i'm really hungry and can't be bothered to prepare something for myself. or if i wander to tescos at lunchtime and the sandwiches look tasty. i use milk in my morning coffee but sweetener not sugar. if i'm offered pudding i'll say yes more often than not. i like to eat biscuits at work when nobodies looking. today i had 6 biscuits, 1 boiled sweet, a punnet of strawberrys, an eccles cake, a protein shake, half a tin of tuna with sweet chilli sauce and a small fudge. its what works best for me i've discovered.
[b]There could be a list as long as your arm that will allow you to pass the buck.
Do you have long arms?[/b]
yes, being taller than yeti, deadly and jamie i'm a natural long-armer.
[b]Is one longer than the other?[/b]
only when its hot.
[b]It really is a jungle out there, so be careful kids and wear a helmet.
HTH.[/b]
DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!, I'M DIFFERENT!

I'm just glad that photo isn't 3-D. 😯
it is 3d, you just haven't paid the £2.75 extra to see the 3d version, chances are you're the kinda guy who'd not put the glasses in the bin on the way out the cinema, i can tell these things
did you notice my jacket, i can remove the arms by zip.
winner winner chicken dinner.
i noticed your rather action man like frontal area?
Do you tuck it under or was nature unkind?
winner winner chicken dinner.
This expression gives me great enjoyment. Thanks.
Louisa lost 1 stone 8lbs in 3 months and never even posted on this thread.Reminds me of that "Ricky" bird of Eastenders.
doesn't want to get up early enough
Thanks for calling me lazy. Did you read the link I posted on the subject?
goes out at 10pm to 'train'
Why can't you train at 10pm?
Phil can you explain to me the difference between a reason and an excuse?
I can't fly, I have no wings. Is that an excuse?
FFS Let it go.all of you
