I am running the london marathon on Sunday; 1st one ever at the age of 53 !!

Kipchoge hasn't got to be concerned about his new record

Awesome - good luck and try to enjoy the occasion - I've always wanted to do a London Marathon! I've done 6 now - did my 1st at 46 - its addictive but also a killer physically on the body - hoping to do a final one next year for my 60th but its getting harder to get all the k's in months after month without niggling injuries. Cheers

Eliud Kipchoge pulverised his world record in the marathon this morning in Berlin. Worth a mention you know.

Going to start running again this week now Ive dropped a bit of weight. I did it before but my body was breaking down on me slowly each time. Knee and muscle pain after every run.

I changed my trainers back then and it helped, but the 50lb less on my frame will be a big help.

Are you pear shaped then?

Not even close to being pear shaped with a 50 to 52 inch chest

I'm pretty thin now though compared to how I used to look given I have lost a few stone of muscle the past few years.

What height are you Jaco? I'm only 5'10" and I'm tubby. 34" waist is where I look best, I don't want a cyclist's body

A smidge over 6'3 barefoot

Funny how self perspectives go at times.

I have worked my way back up to about 14.5 stone, maybe a litle more, with a 36 inch waist like yourself and I feel like I am hugely underweight/undersized and still cannot get used to how I look in the mirror.

Put on one of my old compression tops yesterday and it now fits like a regular tshirt instead of clinging to my chest and shoulders.

Weighed myself today for the first time in a couple of months and I've lost about 5kg without really noticing. I've not exercised for ages and so it must be cutting out booze coupled with getting lots more sleep. I might even start running again soon and see if it's easier. I'm still well over weight at 14st and a size 36" waist but I have noticed very slightly that my clothes aren't as tight

She is the smaller of my two sisters....

Jokes aside, one of my sisters was 17st and is only 5'. She became an injecting diabetic and ended up have bariatric surgery. She was told she'd never be able to eat big meals again but tested that daily and now eats **** without putting on any weight.

Lazy cow does no exercise and thinks that being diabetes free is the winner here. Such a shame
