Flying makes you Fat……….Fact

Marathon J

9 flights in just under 2 weeks, average flying time 3.5 hours

4lb’s body weight put on
1.5% body fat increase (now a flabby 17.5%)
1.5% body water decrease (down to 57%)

Proof if needed that flying makes you fat!

Whilst reviewing Hilton gyms I can add the following
Hilton Santo Domingo
Only one running machine working, air-conditioning broken, after 45 minutes on the running machine I nearly fainted with heat exhaustion. Marathon B would be ashamed of me.

Hilton in Kingston
Several running machines, air-conditioning non existent, after 35 minutes I had to give up. Marathon B is probably not talking to me now :-(

Jersey
Sunday 16th, St Saviour to St Lawrence dash, managed to squeeze in 4 miles, initially I was running too fast but I think that was the shock of running in the cold, after about 5 minutes settled into a steady pace, the last mile, as ever, left me wondering why my house was on to of a hill. That said I had sufficient energy to sprint the last 800m although I ran out of sprint after 400m, but at least I thought I had sufficient energy!
