Trying fast exercise, instead of my weekly 10-12k run. Sprinting as fast as I can for 30 secs up a hill. Then walk.back and do it again after a short rest. Doing it 4 times. Tried first time in Saturday. I threw up afterwards. Did it again on Wednesday. Took me a good 20 mins to recover. Will give it a go again tomorrow. Some studies suggest I'll lose more weight doing this, instead of a 10k jog. Who knows? Worth a go.

You will. Sprinting and hill sprints particularly is one of the best exercises for fat loss.
99% of it comes down to diet after a certain age though.

I do the 5/2 diet as well (600 calories) twice a week. And I've seriously cut down on the booze in the last 4 weeks. Surprisingly easy, as Heineken 0.0 and Clausthaler are acceptable replacements, if they're ice cold.
I'll keep doing the hill run. Really hope it works. Quicker exercise and more efficient. Win, win.
Bringing up 50 runs tomorrow at my local ally pally. best decision ever to start running again last year. Great start to the weekend whatever disappointments follow
Finished my first ever parkrun. It was a bit windy at Victoria Dock. Great run. I really enyoed it.
Ah, I was there too! Ended up walking a fair chunk of it because it was ridiculously windy on the north side of the dock. Pleased with my 32:50, all the same.
Really tough and windy this morning in lancing. Out and back course so flying first half with wind behind, but turning back felt like running through a brick wall! Managed to squeak in below 23.
New PB for me at Danson (surprisingly, after 4 pints in the Ale House last night).....cold and windy and really hard work running in to the wind at the top of the course... Very pleased I made the effort and looking fwd to some recovery ales later after the match...

This 100%
I think you need to know what works for your body, for example, I done the crazy insanity workout program for 60 days but my diet wasn’t exactly on point, I lost about a quarter of a stone starting at around 14st - whereas this year doing dry Jan and in 5 weeks with a mix of heavy weights and mild cardio I’ve lost 1st 2lbs but also my diet has been a mix of high protein/good fats and low carb so I agree diet is a huge factor in not necessarily weight but definitely fat loss - hope this helps others in some way :-)
I've only ever lived in the Borough of Greenwich, and long before it was Royal! Born the year it changed from Woolwich to Greenwich. Really can't see me ever moving out of it.
My fellow Plumstead Runner and friend Les Pullen is running his 250th Park Run at Avery Hill on Saturday. Another milestone to go with his 172 marathons.
An amazing feat considering he was air lifted to hospital after a heart attack on his 173rd marathon about 3 years ago now!
Go say hello to him if you're there. The fella is a legend.

My first one in 6 weeks. Still not 100%, expect to be 3-4 mins off my PB but cannot wait!!
good luck everyone
