Help! Need to get fitter!

[ls28harry]

Josh, don't go down the women front (no pun intended), they're scary and can get you into all sorts of trouble

Paul's right Josh. Females are the route of all evil and will destroy your life given half a chance.

If you really want to get into training more buy a few books on the subject (or get down to the library for free). That's what I did so I know have my yearly plan worked out showing me what I need to do each week with the results I should get. Set yourself a few goals and steps on how to achieve them.

Josh,
.
Try going for a 21 mile walk. That will make you fitter, and also keep you off here a bit.

Bit rude hmm? Slightly annoying considering I did that 21 mile walk for the wounded hero's who have been saving our arses over there. Check the Help for Heros website, boom, there we are, me and my friend right on the front page of the news.

Some of them are a bit eloquent too - not a troll is he .....

Not sure MM but he likes Radox so that's a bit of a worry in itself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that was a bit of genuine advice...no need to worry your little self...

Plus, I'm not a troll, but I sure can be...

Oh yeah, it would be good to increase my chances with the ladies aswell. Not so successful with the women at the moment

Help needed. Thanks

Josh _ I think you need a high and low approach.... get some high mileage in on the bike and find yourself a low mileage lady

Josh: I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt so here's a bit of advice. It may be the naivety of your tender years but you do seem to be trying too hard to be 'one of the boys', this comes across as immaturity or deliberate trollism so be careful what you say otherwise you will continue to receive sarcastic replies. There are many cyclists on the forum with sons of your age or older, we have many years of experience and are happy to pass it on. There is a difference between being mature for your age and trying to be a smart-Alec which only gets people's backs up. Ask sensible questions and you will receive sensible answers. Remember it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

oh and it is safe to assume that the claims by your classmates about all of the women that they have slept with are lies. For the majority they will have just about managed to mumble hello to a girl before going bright red. A significant minority will have had a snog, copped a feel and lost control in their pants. And one or two might have gone a little further but both parties will have been very disappointed by the experience.

Are you speaking from experience

I do a 5 mile ride to the swimming baths then swim 25 lengths 10 mins in the sauna then 10 mile ride, then home and scoff lol, that will help josh
