I think I need a 12 step plan - can I run those steps

Will we all be found wandering the corners of Marlborough street after our marathons, crutch in one hand (shin splints) and a lucozade sport in a brown paper bag lookin' for a few odds for a carb gel.

Very true. I always thought that exercise and excessive exercise could be
addictive, like many other things and when you miss a day or two, it
can play on your mind and affect you.

I think a 12-step plan might be counterproductive

the problem with those type of crap stories is they don't define anything in them. Excessive is meaningless when just thrown about, thats the kind of story that has people
thinking that a 40 min run a day is like being on drugs as it sounds a lot to them. Not realising that they are barely getting their daily exercise needs.

Who would have though that someting that makes you feel good and keeps you healthy could be adictive.... What about Football , need to get people to cut back on sky sports I think they maybe playing and watching too much football too..
