    cheers zulu, are you a motivational speaker?

    my 1st year results suggest im doing better than ok, its a graduate medicine course so we condense 1st and 2nd year of a 5 year course into 1 year. Start clinical phase in March and when we graduate, well it gets pretty hardcore

    EDIT:

    Don’t lay in even when tired, getup with very little variance.

    yeah been trying that today and yesterday, i think you’re right seemed to work yest. fingers crossed for tonight

    Get a manual job and stop mincing around at school. That’ll sort the sleep problem out.

    i do have a manual job, just 2 days ago I had my fingers up an arse*

    yeah crikey i thought thats what you were suggesting (and cheers for the sweeping generalisation) but tbh I it’s the mental toll that keeps me awake, Im in my 2nd year and I’m doing work 6 or 7 days a week. It only gets more intense then we graduate and it gets more intense. I’ll do exercise twice in a day and still not sleep because the brain keeps ticking over, in fact when I’ve done manual labour work in the past it didn’t help because my head was empty from a day of monotonous work.

    cheers guys i shall start implementing routines and see how i go

    don’t worry samuri my step dad had migraines i wouldn’t wish them on anyone, im not a insomniac and I don;t have the flu (thats my personal peeve)

    *prosthetic (this time…)

    awwwwww draw ok yeah. I used that back in the day but not now wouldn’t go down too well tbh

    i believe crikey may be hinting that im a layabout stoodent, the truth is far more worrying

    yeah its getting off to sleep, once im out im generally not too bad

    ill confess not really understanding crikey (and still affected me when i was working annoyingly)

    don’t drink that much caffeine, although i guess could cut down on my tea intake

    don’t worry about it & the sleep will come

    yeah i think you’re right becomes a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy but as you say hard to actually do

    that means 3 tub tyres, even more money!

    but that makes sense i guess although it should be pointed out i won’t really be ‘racing’

    starting to lean towards tubs if can find some cheap road tyres…

    it’s good fun? and while you pretend it’s cheaper than a geared bike you spunk the same amount of cash but on flashier bits -everyone’s a winner 😀

    yeah i havent had a geared bike in years so don’t have any cogs that small 🙁 i did think about chucking on one of the cheapo thin cogs for a similar effect, hmmmm

    fontmoss

    yeah i meant to get familiar with the bike rather than actual fitness

    cool looks like i’ll be pissing £15 against a wall to inflict some serious pain on myself 🙂

    Really? I see loads of roadies riding fixed in the winter.

    ok fair point but there doesn’t seem to be the same fervour outside workhorse kit like mtb

    not worried at all what others do simply whether there are any hurdles or issues people have encountered

    fontmoss

    tools and gods are words I often associate with roadies

    fontmoss
    Free Member

    Yeah but maybe it’s more to with being able to accommodate lots of flats and lots of climbs? 52 and 39 can cope with quite a range of terrain and roadies don’t seem that keen on ss either

    someone will be along shortly to tell us it’s so they can blast themselves regardless of what’s in front of them like the divine immortals they are

    weird fedex is wayy cheaper than others but mainly because they use actual weight rather than volume, there must be a catch somewhere never seen international delivery not use volume?
