Running 5 times a week :shock:

I'd rather cycle all that running can't be good for the bones

But on a serious note, you're quite right Nidge, too many drivers are walking health scares.

I know times are tough and working hours have gone up, but everyone can spare half an hour for a run / walk / cycle / swim a few times a week, and no one is forced to eat fried food or kebabs as a staple diet.

I cycle, I used to race and even now as a 'vet' (Over 40) I still compete on audax rides when I can. It means a lot to me and is great for stress relief after 10 hours in the cab, to do an hour or two on the saddle of a bike.

No health, no living, and that would be tough.

Running is fine for the bones as long you wear decent trainers with a decent air cushion in the soles. I run about 15 mile a day and I smoke ciggies to (not while running) :evil:

I always find it hurts my shins and I've tried all kinds of trainers. I'm not what you would say delicate on my feet though

Get the top half well tied down this will stop you running from side to side and being unbalanced, :oops:

take smaller strides

Heart attack at 34. FFS. There will be a few more of those given the current recession and increase in drivers hours.

Lost a driver at 34 to pancreatis a few years ago and a 33 yr old operator to cancer about 15 yrs back, age isn't a factor anymore. RIP Ian.

Your right there mate, many drivers are heart attacks waiting to happen with their lifestyles behind the wheel, many are parked up outside the local kebab shop or in MacDonald's car park eating their way into a wooden overcoat. 20-30 minutes exercise a day 3 times a week is not going to hurt anyone. I went for a medical the other week, the doctor said to me do you smoke?? I said yes I do, he looked at me gone out. He said Mmmmm your blood pressure is bang on and your heart beat is like that of super fit athlete, at resting I got my heart rate down to 40 beats per minute, the doctor asked me how many I smoked a day? I said about 10-15 depending on what sort of day I'm having, he said well you should be thinking about packing them in because they aren't good for you. I said I'll tell you what I'll put a sticker on the side of the car saying working for a living will kill you therefor you must pack in working. He laughed and said get out before I punch you one in the gob.
