[Closed] Is it ok to go running topless at lunchtime?

As long as you have rippling abs of steel then it will be fine.

If you both do it then it's fine

A quick walk around the locality of the office yesterday, suggests that its certainly fine to go topless so long as your sporting a rolled up pair of Addidas tracky bottoms, an array of shit tattoos and a Staffy.

Helps if you're missus is equally blessed in the tattoo department (tramp stamp on muffin top), scrunchy on top of head, incredibly ill-advised neon crop-top - and is haranguing you while you walk down the street having a domestic

Yeti - is this you?

well, you'll look like an attention-seeking poser

neither good nor bad, just FACT

Jump up & down naked in front of a mirror. If it's only the naughty bits that wobble then running topless is OK.

is haranguing you while you walk down the street having a domestic

We'll probably be running and the rest of what you say is also unture.. but I'm sure I'll be coping an earful.

Why should it matter whether I've got a bit of puppyfat or not?

[i]Why should it matter whether I've got a bit of puppyfat or not?[/i]

the more bits you have flapping about the more likely it is that passers by will be splashed with flying sweat as you lumber past.

If your running along a beach it's OK, the park is boarderline, but through a town is just screaming 'LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEE'

Have you thought about some roller blades?

No, but you knew that before your attention whoring post even came to mind.

yes its fine[legal] but if you are naked you will be arrested

I would not mind either way but If I had to decide it would be your missus
HTH

they won't let you in MaccyD's afterwards.

Binners is right, there are two looks for male toplessness, Chav and 70's gay man. Purple flyaway shorts, a bandana and a medallion should accessorise the second.

Funnily enough there were some shirtless Chavs all over the cycle lane on my way in this morning (grey track suit bottoms, chinese letters tattooed across back), that was one snot bullet that hit the mark, and some good sprint training.

the Mrs ... has threatened to do the same if I do

With a threat/challenge such as this, it's a no-brainer ... topless run at lunch it is!

joao - thing is... I reckon she'd do it. Infact she'd probably do it if people sponsored her enough.

I might go for a chavvy run by the river instead. Hels - that's disgusting... I hope you get a puncture.

I didn't hit the guy with snot ! Sorry worded that badly, I snotted in the general direction, they got the point is what I mean. Although I am a very good shot.

What was your point?

That you're a bit chavvy because you snot at people? Really... ask yourself what you'd be saying if it was the other way round?
I'm even concious of snotting at cars.

Seeing as I work in the city, I believe that today is an Oakley Iridium Black day

Nothing wrong with it.

But if you're more this..

Then this..

It would probably be best to stick to a quieter route, for the kids.

Ok if you're running to Greggs for a takeaway lunch.
Not ok if you're running to the pub for a liquid lunch.

Why did you change that picture?
Did the first overweight guy not amuse you enough?

That's it, I'm putting my trackies on, borrowing a devil dog and jogging topless to the chippy at lunch.

Racists.

No - you know the answer obviously!!

Sun's out... Guns out

Well that's what shaven chested young say in my office.

Not sure you'll catch me running along embankment with them.

Too be fair, they can hold their own and are pretty quick.

[i]No - you know the answer obviously[/i]

Not quite, well, yes, may be.

TSY knows its unmanly to be in public, topless.

But, he's bored.

^^^ LOL.

Golem drives a Mod'd Nova and wears Burberry!.
😆

No - you know the answer obviously

*and wants everyone to know he's going jogging at lunch time 😉

If anyone said that in my presence, I'd punch them on general principle. For their own benefit!

LOL at Pedalhead... I might just go and lay down somewhere if I'm honest.

I don't think it's ever really acceptable in a city centre is it?

Maybe the beach, the park or your back garden.

[i]I might just go and lay down somewhere if I'm honest. [/i]

Topless ?.

LOL at Pedalhead... I might just go and lay down somewhere if I'm honest.

btw, I'm going for a ride at lunch time 😀

..with my top on

Oooh where are you going, road or off? Also... do you have an XTR crank removal tool I could borrow??

Oooh where are you going, road or off? Also... do you have an XTR crank removal tool I could borrow??

Just a short local road loop for an hour. Yes, I have one of those XTR tools

Come on Mark, you're better than this: no need for you to get drawn into this particular little game!

😉

He'd go topless if he didn't need the jersey pockets...

TSY - my but you are sensitive today, is it that time of the month ?

My point with the snot bullet was - "don't step out into the cycle lane in front of a cyclist when there is heavy traffic you ****". As I said, I think they got the idea.

I'm not the one that attempted to assault someone because they were in my way, or almost in my way... sounds a bit like [i]red[/i] mist from where I'm sat. Wink!

i got chased by a tramp about 30mins ago, i can only assume its my new haircut that made him want me so badly.

dont go running topless, unless you're in didcott then its fine

I'm in Didcot... it's like what you typed but it's missing a Tee.

Like I'm going to be...

PERVERT.

*calls up the ddiiddccoott & Wallingford Community mental health team and tells them to keep an eye out for you*

I did yesterday lunchtime. Ran a mile down river, left my top and shoes there, then ran a mile back barefoot in swimming shorts, swum back down, and then ran home (via Morrisons for doughnuts obviously). None of the dog walkers I met seemed to care.

I draw the limit at running wearing just speedos (except on the beach obviously), but I don't see anything wrong with running along a country path with no top on (or biking with no top on for that matter).

In many German cities, it's common for people to head to the park and sunbathe au naturel over thei lunch hour. I didn't realise this.

So, when sauntering in to the park to tuck in to my lunchtime sandwhich, I found myself confronted with several naked bodies. All were of the variety that you wouldn't really want to see. Apart from one of my colleagues. She was of the other variety, and was rather pleasant to see.

Was very odd going to a meeting with her later that afternoon though. Couldn't help thinking, "I've seen your...."

🙂

[*]Why not get naked, carry a torch and run through the town shouting "NAKED OLYMPICS" as loud as you can?

If it's really hot I'll take my shirt off, but only if I'm out in the countryside, not round the streets. Sometimes people stare.

Kev

On a practical (and maybe boring) note. Wear a lightweight running vest to start, then whip it off when you're out of sight of work/general public*.

*Delete as lardiness dictates.

@captainflashheart

I remember being in Munich a few years ago and bursting into laughter when walking through the park, the GF asked why I was laughing then I mention the old boy with his old boy out, slightly different to the goings on in our village.

hang on a mo. Yeti? Has own pelt and does not need a shirt surely?

I don't think even Oakleys have technology that could save peoples' eyes from the glare of the sun reflecting off my belly as I appear over the horizon.

*Hums "What's that coming over the hill? Is it a Munro..."*

Sun's out... Guns out

Watch out for the guns....they're gonna get ya...

Saleem, Munich here as well! 🙂

I'm in Didcot... it's like what you typed but it's missing a Tee.

Thank you brakes... I'm here all week.

I opted for a light t-shirt for the first 500m then as soon as I hit the bridleways went skins.

This weather is flipping awesome. An hour of running without a care in the world... sun beating down on my back, got completely lost... Awesome!!!

[i]I hit the bridalways[/i]

[i]An hour of running [b]without a care in the world[/b][/i]

So, errr, this thread is just a friggment of my sunbaked brain cell.
😯

I hope you used some bog roll and washed your hands afterwards.

Anyway !, peh !.
I whizz on your one hour run.

I did a two hour session in the gym today, and I was in the gym before YOU !.

8)

What time did you get down there? My toes were just dipping into the lake at 6:55 this morning.

[i]What time did you get down there? My toes were just dipping into the lake at 6:55 this morning. [/i]

That wasn't the gym, that was the lake.

I was in the gym around 11:20am.

Lightweight.

I stopped off at the gym on my way to work... 8am 😛

Loser.

06:30 i was at the gym, both of you bow down to me

TSY - I'd be really interested in knowing what your daily routine is regarding exercise and maintaining weight loss.

Do you think its made you a happier person, more secure and more confident? Are you happy with your current physic and if not, how much longer do you think it'll be before you achieve this?

From what I've read on your threads, you sound pretty buff already. Do you think you'll reach your desired goals or its it unachievable?

flange - I don't do it for the physique although I don't deny it's a pleasing side effect.

Exercise wise I average towards 3 hours a day. A mix of swimming, cycling, running, yoga and freeweights.

I eat healthily, in broad keeping with the iDiet, but top up with a lot of simple carbs and fruit. I reckon that when I'm exercising a lot not getting enough bread or cake has the opposite impact on my weight to what you'd imagine. Essentially I eat whatever the **** I like, whenever the hell I want.

Does exercising and eating make me happy... definitely. I love the buzz of exercise and feeling knackered at the end of the day... that feeling when you finally get to bed... ahhhh bliss.

sorry.

Just been out to cruise the Campus and treat all the girlies to a bit of eye damage as I saunter through the Campus, to Costa and back....

[i]I stopped off at the gym on my way to work... 8am

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
For I was already on my bike by then.

How d'ya like them Apples !.

I love the feeling of being thin, can't stand any wobble around the middle. Lately I've been eating like a horse, possible combination of added work (but easy close off) and a bit of RnR (eg; Beer'idge) and less stress. I got into a size 30 waist pair of Rapha shorts a couple of weeks ago, they're a bit tight on me now.. Normally stick around a 32 waist, any larger (very rarely go larger) and I feel like the guy in the photo on Page1.
More biking for me this week and next and the week after will trim me right back again. Always been lean and lythe.

Spotted a Mate who I'd not seen in a year last Sat, fit as a butchers wooofda he was, says he's been living on chips since he left his Mrs... hmmm yeah right.

[i]06:30 i was at the gym, both of you bow down to me[/i]

[img] [/img]

[i]hmmm yeah right[/i]

Actually, I reckon you can eat [i]rubbish[/i] and stay thin.

If thats what you like.

By the sounds of it, TSY is lean, but probably totes a good P2W ratio.
Ees a competitor, innit.

TSY

Papped...
