“Leave Brittany alone!”
I have known some stocky runners. They are a distinct minority.
Fat runners are rare.
>>What ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ Gets Wrong About Running While Fat
“Running in marathons is no guaranty that you’ll actually lose weight.”
If you’re a fat runner for a long time, it means you have absolutely NO BRAINS AT ALL about how to eat.
What? She did not carb load on some veggie burger so she could puke at the finish line?
I’ve watched my son do a few Half Ironman Triathlons (swim 1 mile, bike 50 miles, run 13 miles). There are overweight participants. I don’t know how anyone can train for a triathlon and not lose weight.
I’m 61 and 5.6 tall, 150 pounds. I have never been anything other than skinny but in the last several years I’ve put on about 10 pounds, most of it (the extra 10 pounds) is in my gut.
So I wanted to trim up a bit. In the past I have practiced martial arts and rode bicycles. I was the kid in 8th grade that was a bicycle nut.
In my mid 20s to mid 30s I did a lot of bike riding and was doing about 6 or 7 half and metric centuries (50 or 64 mile) rides/year. Gave it up when we started family life that was when I began martial arts. I have rank in two martial arts.
I haven’t exercised on a regular basis for 15 years. So to get back in shape I started bike riding last fall. I’ve trained a lot and ridden several organized rides, the longest a 65 mile charity ride. As a side comment, my feet are a train wreck so running is out for me.
All this to say I’m really enjoying being back on the bike but the sport is overrun with liberals that know everything and PC to the max. It seems every aspect of the sport is liberal infested.
But as I always say every black cloud has a silver lining and the silver lining here is that the libs as a rule have little personal staying power, this puts good high quality little used 10 year old bicycles out on the used market. I picked up just such a machine, a 12 year old Cannondale road bike for $300 This bike when new was $1500
I think getting triggered by innocuous comments from trainers and store clerks is over the top PC stuff. But she should have smacked the a$$hole heckler.
All of this has caused her to dig in. I think attention to her size has caused her to adopt an attitude of defiance. If she wasn’t triggered by every word and everyone kept their mouths shut, she probably would lose weight.
Running is good for you, but it will not help you lose much weight, unless you are running a whole heck of a lot every day. I burn about 300 calories in my regular 2.3 mile jog. One small sweet snack will put those calories and more right back in you.
I have lost 15 lbs recently simply by not having any sweets all week except for Saturday and eating a small lunch every day. I am back to my high school weight.
LOL. This is a COMEDY. Don’t. Take. Srsly.
