A 10K will activate other muscles and improve your endurance.
What is your goal?
Overweight can mean different things to different people.
I would like to drop 20 lbs to improve my power to weight ratio and make climbing easier/faster.
Portion control and free time to ride/hike/lift are my nemesis.
What is your chief objective?
I was 305 at the beginning of February. I got down to 228 by the end of September but my weight has plateaued.
I want to get to under 200 pounds with 175 being an ultimate goal-if I can get there.
I retired in ‘20 and was a supervisor for the last several years. That was when my weight started going up. I simply wasn’t working as hard but at the end I was almost literally dragging my feet. I was exhausted.
I want to get my speed up enough that I can do some group rides, maybe a fun race.
