What's that chinese proverb about a journey of a thousand miles starting with s ingle step - you've taken it, so look out world.<br />

So does the journey to the pub, and the pie shop...

So you've been going hard out for three months now. Are you still a fat fluffybunny or what?

Fuckin oath.

Yeah, but that then fucks you up because you have to wait after turning. Isn't the best idea to turn and push off in one movement? <br />

At the higher beeps yes, but you don't need to for the early ones. Get in front, take any breather you can. Push off from the start do the first few steps quick, then you can slow down. And slowing down is beneficial for you on the later beeps as it makes it easier to turn, you'll bugger your knee or ankle trying to do the turns at full pace.

Get and stay in front of the beeps, [/quote]<br />

Er, you're not allowed to leave before the beep...<br />
[/quote]<br />
No, but you can finish before them. People who tried to pace themselves at the same rate as the beeps came a cropper, but getting ahead of them and getting a rhythm worked.

Maybe, but it's going to be hard to put on too much weight eating stri-fried vegies and some meat. The Chinese don't have any creamy sauces, although some of their dishes can have a lot of sugar and a bit of batter. And ginger's good for your digestion system.

We did the beep test at my club in HK. It's irrelevant by itself as a measure of anything save the ability to turn and run. Used in a combination of press-ups, sit-ups/crunches and 3k runs it may sometimes come in useful. I got to level 14 before being pulled for missing the mark twice. It's not difficult, it's about pacing yourself and finding a rhythm. Get and stay in front of the beeps, once they start catching up with you, then you have to start pushing yourself, if you try to keep with the beeps you're fucked. The only thing you can practice for them is your turns, hitting your front leg, propping off it while turning and trying to use your momentum as a bonus rather than a hindrance.

Eat all the [quote name='Hooroo']<br />
Thanks to Phooey, I tried his 'Don't smoke until a certain time' and I set it at 8pm (We went out at 7)  It worked!!!!  In fact at 8pm I pushed the boat out to 9pm and then didn't end up smoke at all.  Although when I got dropped off, I was tempted to have a wee puff on the car exhaust.  Cravings suck, but the mind is stronger!<br />

Bad day for food.  All you can eat Chinese!!!  6 plates full.<br />

Have to burn it off at Squash tonight<br />

Eat all the Chinese you want, just don't have the rice or noodles.
