I'm 5' 5" and a half you slag!   

I'm taller than katz sans wig.

Cardio has improved everything across the board.  Everything.

But as Jims' posts over the last 2 years attest to:  he has been injured more than he should've been.  Weight needs to be carried and no-one is made of steel, there are weak links across our bodies.  I'm being fair aren't I Jim, you've hurt yourself too much - is that an abjective statement?  Both Jim and I drink like fish.

I must point out that I doubt my injuries can be attributed to my weight, perhaps too many sessions on the bachar ladder.
I also need to point out that Nige is one of the most injured people I (or anyone else who knows him) know and is in desperately in need of a good steak dinner or 20

ww, you say you "tried" to incorporate cv work-  how long did you try for?  It does take a couple of weeks of regular running (or alternative) before you get used to it, and you do feel tired initially.  But once you get going your energy levels, core etc are far better.

Houd- people only say "and a half" when they are reet short.

I've never denied my magnitude, GCW.

Got those insoles yet?

I'm sure Houd would tell you that half an inch makes all the difference.

I went for cuban heels in the end.

im at least 6'1 and weigh 10 st, i imagine if i was climbing with one and a half me's then it wouldn't help! if you want to improve just get out on the crag every weekend at least and you'll be cranking out font 7's in no time! getting out bouldering way more this winter helped me improve loads - from 6c to 7c in about 6 months - but i'm injured now so make sure you take rest when you need it, climbing through pain is silly . . .

Not surprised your injured 6c to 7c in 6 months.

what a jump!!!

Are you a beanpole? I'm more or less your height, and I wouldn't call myself overweight, but am a good 3 stone heavier.

Just as a bit of an update - went climbing yesterday for the first time in about a month (work and DIY and christening's in the last few weeks).

In the meantime have been running at least twice a week (4 miles) if not 3 times at lunchtime and also training on my rock rings. Have lost 6 pounds since the start of this thread and felt very strong yesterday. Quickly nailed most of the V3/V4's at Awesome Walls and also got my first flapper....

Can't wait to go again now.
