Unfit People Who Can't Run for ****

Fukuyama

Just seen that ad again on TV about the 'epidemic' of tubbiness we're experiencing in Ireland.

I'd say a good 75% of this country wouldn't be up for running more than a few kilometers before coughing up a lung and dying on the pavement.

I'm not into traditional sports (football, gaa, rugby etc..) but make an effort to get out running. If I lived by the sea I'd be in it as much as possible.

We all seem to have bellies on us. I'm not saying we're all fat (although many of us are disgustingly overweight) but I'd say many people in Ireland would be fcuked if a time came when they had to run for more than ten minutes or swim a couple of k.

The Flora Womens Mini Marathon is tomorrow (I'm not singling out women here...just it's tomorrow so) and the amount of people I know who have backed out of it because they didn't bother training (shouldn't need to train to job 10k really) or those who have a defeatist attitude to walk it with their friends...

We're shadows of our ancestors in terms of physical fitness.

You should be able to at least do a couple of pull-ups, run for twenty minutes and know how to swim or somthing.

Jaysus i could hardly run up a hill without loosing my breath and collapsing, too much porter and food.

Hate running... When I goto the gym, I get so bored doing it that I just stop and do something else. I don't think I've ever reached point where I need to stop.. I acknowledge that people like it but for the life of me, I don't know how.

Obviously not enough people have seen Zombieland. Rule number 1: cardio.

I thought the title was about people who can't run for ****?
I hate those people who are barely running/jogging who won't move over on the path while myself and the hound are out walking.
Or the gabby wemon covered in lycra walking 3 across taking up the whole place forcing you out onto the road.
January is the worst time of year for it.

Consider the following example from another thread

Lets eat Grandpa
Lets eat, Grandpa

In one of those situations Grandpa dies as a result of poor punctuation.

And the grammar Nazi inside of me dies a little at the lack of an ' in "Lets"!!:pac:

Of course you would, the C25K programme that you mentioned is training in itself (I've done it as well). If you're not used to jogging then I'd doubt one could complete 10k on their first try, regardless of fitness level.

I f**king HATE fat people. lazy F**KS

Get out and RUN fatties,
Stop eating cheap sh1tty food,
Your eating habbits and personal hygene make me want to VOMIT,
If you insist of being fat, stay indoors and dont venture out untill after i've gone to bed, and only in suitably large clothes.

And as for people who can't climb trees;
WTF is with that? Most people i know wouldn't get futher than about 10feet, grow up you gravity fearing douchbags, what if your life depended on it?

also...
Theres no point learning to swim unless you learn to swim UNDER water.
its AMAZING how many people can only hold their breath for 20 seconds.. USELESS, what if you were trapped in a sinking ship and you had to swim submerged for up to a minute?.... what would you do then? drown i suppose, you useless gasping soggy apprentice corpse.

also..
You should be able to drive and have passed your test by the age of 20 at the latest, it really pisses me off how many people i know who cant drive, asking me for f**king lifts everwhere, and then dont pay for petrol.. freeloaders!

I could go on but i dont have time.. in short could everyone at least TRY to be a bit more like me and do what i do, its not that F**king hard.

I'm pretty sure you posted this rant almost word for word before. Get some new material.

Your wisdom on tree climbing and underwater swimming are profound, I know of some 10 year old's in need of training if your interested.
also..
I would pay serious money to see you force fed greasy fast food until your a fat blubbering mess, you could then get assertiveness training so you could ask for the petrol money you think you deserve from the freeloaders.
