Hey all, just wondering how the average psb member goes in the line of fitness?
how to I add a poll?
I couldn't make it to the fridge without stopping for a beer
I've been known to go for a jog between blue moons
I'm reasonably fit, i compete in athletic activities and do average
I usually enter in long distance athletic events and see a good result
Doing the rotto swim next year, made it last year ahead of 99% of everyone. That swim is 90% fitness and 10% technique/speed so i'd say im pretty high on the scale.

PSB - It doesn't matter how right you are. If you aren't in with the crowd who thinks they are the in crowd because they post a lot, then you are wrong.
Not as fit as I used to be, not anywhere near as fit as I'd like to be. But working on it (slowly).
No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation to detail.

Unfit. It doesn't takeanythingmuch to distract me from going to the gym or walking the pup![]()
Fitter than your average Nanna these days. I can walk 8km in an hour. Bloody osteoarthritis stops me from running. I can swim 1km without stopping and 20km on the pushbike is easy. OK it's shameless boasting but I've worked friggin hard to get this fit and I'm proud of it.

I'd say thats pretty damn good. I think you'd be fitter than the vast majority of Australians. Especially the swim 1km without stopping bit.
I'd consider myself reasonably fit. Need to trim some excess bear belly, but I still ride the deadly regularly and swim a bit and run a couple time a week. These days my muscle strength is somewhat akin to that of a weak 5yr old, but my cardio is OK.
thank god blue moons dont happen very often![]()
Not as fitt as I should be, but after being a non-athlete as a kid, ran a marathon last year in 3 hr 36min, as a 48 year old.
When I've competed in half marathons, I finish in the top third. Did 10 kms in 44 min last year. The hardest thing about the marathon caper, is getting the time to practice....in training, a short run is 16 kms, most between 20 & 30 kms.
Im embarisingly unfit.....
I'll walk 25 min on a wednesday and skate in circles for an hour on a saturday
Sad to say the above is a big improvement on how I used to be!

After a long struggle against injury, pitiful strength and stamina I've finally reached the point where I'm running 5km three days a week.
I expect that, in another two or three weeks, it will stop being such torture.
At which point I'll think of something else to add (more speed and/or more distance) to make it hurt again![]()
Fit enough but never good enough.

I row(ergo) for an hour 3-6 times per week, I'm pushing 15 k's per session at the moment.
Despite that, I really suck at push ups, so I started the hundred push up thing a few weeks ago.. it's really making a difference.
"In all the human societies we have ever reviewed, in every age and in every state, there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots." -The Culture
Not fit enough.
Used to run Jacobs Ladder with a 15kg pack, back before i found beer, and began the daily grind.
Now i think I'd give up just walking it.
i would say i am very fit. swim 2kms in morning, weights in arvo (for tone), then run 4-5 kms on treadmill, then swim 1km again after a light dinner.

^^^ plus 10km worth of sprints per day chasing after the new recruits with a large shifting spanner and a bottle of lube...
