That Huel stuff he constantly bangs on about is absolutely revolting. ---

I’ve had it on and off since it came out, totally immune to it now. Have the Black version most lunches, it does help to keep the weight off. But yeah I get why people don’t like it totally. ---

My Garmin consistently rates some of the worst sleeps of my life as a solid nine hours so I think I’m OK ---

Same! Felt very mundane & simple and yet every page contained a little philosophical jewel. This thread never fails. (edit: I meant the book thread obvs) ---

Does it work for people who don’t run, perhaps favouring walking or sitting down? 🤔😝 ---

I can promise you nothing about it is likely to make you want to take up running in case you were worried about that. PS I read an astonishing book about surfing last summer called Barbarian Days, it was incredibly well written and detailed to the point of being obsessive, I loved it but remain completely uninterested in trying surfing in any way. (edit: less interested if anything) ---

One of my favorite books and can absolutely relate to the experience. I even tried to watch an old surfing movie to keep the nostalgia going and couldn’t get into it. Loved his obsession. ---

Weirdly I’m a surf obsessive but can’t get into the book, tried three times so far. ---

Wondered whether to post what’s going on with me here but, anyway, here we go… About 3/4 months back i noticed it was getting harder to walk uphill/climb stairs. gp said i was getting older - cheek, i’m 54. Asked for a 2nd opinion and resistance testing showed something wrong with my legs.. blood test on the friday, call for emergency rheumatology appt on the Monday - CK enzyme levels should between 40-300, mine 3900 (5000 would be hospitalisation) This is muscles breaking down - I have Statin Induced Autoimmune Myositis - incurable but manageable muscle-wasting illness, caused by a very rare auto-immune response to statins - as the name suggests. On lots of steroids and anti-inflammatory and physio. Had to quit the booze 6 weeks ago. Quitting the booze has been fine - even doing Margate Soul Weekend but, had to move the We Out Here tickets on - unable to walk across fields that much. You just never know what’s around the corner - 50s is, as they say, snipers’ alley! Feel pretty positive most of the time though - just frustration really - especially when i can’t pick the grandkids up. ---

Good for you for pursuing it and not letting them fob you off. Hope you find a treatment / management that helps. ---

I would direct you more in the direction of Robert M Pirsig’s musings on the subject: Zen and the Art of Arse Scratching. Edit: I’m currently tearing through Volume 2! ---
