New Years joggers

[Spare tyre]

Who’s got em then, we live on a road that seems to attract em for a week or so around the 1st
Always makes me chuckle how weak their willpower is

[borcy]

Nope, none here. I didn't know it was a thing. There's always people that go swimming i think that's a bit more traditional?

[PSB1]

Joggers or doggers?

People who sit and criticise are equally laughable

This is of course very true, but I’m unable to fit out the front door you see

We just have one jogger, activity level increases, outfits change, gives the impression of hordes.

Swarms of pre spring cyclists expected.

I will but I need to argue with people on the internet about things first

When I commuted to work by bike, immediately after the Tour de France there would be several more cycling commuters for a few days. None of then kept at it for more than a couple of weeks.

I am one of them - just downloaded the couch-5k ap.

I need to drop a stone by May, wife and Dr says so

Piece of piss, just knock the carbs on the head and you'll see the weight drop off

Not critical. Calorie deficit (aided by exercise and the weight will come off). Track via myfitness pal.

My wife's gym club block new memberships in January as every year they get a lot of new people who clog up everything for a month for the regulars but are never seen again.

When I used to be a regular gym goer, it would piss me off no end to go to the gym in the New Year and it would be rammed with people I'd never seen before, I'd struggle to get on any of the machines or get to use the weights and by mid Feb, they wouldn't be seen again.

Like the local on Christmas Day. A pub is not just for Christmas.

I don't mind them, as long as they pick up the poo.

I went to the beach yesterday to walk the dogs. Normally at this time of year, there is a maximum of ten cars there. The car park was full (I think it holds 175 cars) and while there were a few with their dogs, it seemed to mainly be the 'crazy' ones who wanted to show the world of social media that they went for a New Years Day surf (there was very little surf, about knee height) despite them not being surfers (hire boards and wetsuits, I don't think anyone in the water had surfed before). Plenty of GoPros and phones recording it.

We have them on the sea front & they are an amusing sight.
In skin-tight & rarely flattering Lycra, although I'm sure they think they look wonderful, with earnest expressions they run up & down with wires in their ears & supping from a water bottle.
The funniest are the young matchstick mums with their long hair flapping about or a pig-tail swinging from side to side in unison as they run, whilst with one hand steering a child in a trolley/buggy thing.
Most look as if they are from new smart executive estates rather than council sink estates.

Much like the "swarms" of drivers at almost any time of year then?

[J4CKO]

People going out doing some exercise, surely can only be a positive thing ?
