How NOT to train for a Half Marathon -- 10kg Weight Gain

[@spingirl4855]

Great job on your race🎉

[@RyanCondon]

Welcome back to the UK Jarrod! Great to see that you're a fellow Essex runner. #Braintreerunning
Congrats on your sub 2 hour half, not bad for someone who's "lost fitness". Great work!

[@JMower]

Cheers! Being back in the UK is definitely some reverse culture shock, but it's very nice to be home!
I didn't realise you were so close, we should collab at some point!!

So many simelairIties in achievements and goals! Good that you are back at it again, half a marathon under 2 is very nice.

Good to see you again, J!

[@JMower]

Thanks! Hopefully a lot more videos coming out soon!

Nice work, way better than I could do. Don't think you could pay me to want to run that far 😄

Hi Jarrod..... good to see you back on youtube! i know adjusting to a country change is tricky especially with as big climate / cultural difference between China and UK. You look fine, weather is gonna be improving rapidly (ha ha!) in England so .....give it the max over next 6months and you'll make big strides, for sure. regards, Brian.

100%, can't wait for the summer weather!

Great effort 👌

[@fergusdenoon1255]

not sure if your watch it out by that much, a measured race isn't necessarily the distance you go, weaving in and out of people etc can add a large amount of distance and you run further than the official distance.

[@JMower]

Yeah that's true. It was with my older smartwatch though, a garmin fenix 5. I think my new instinct 2x is a lot better

[@JitinMisra]

How much do you think exercise influences weight loss ?

[@JMower]

A lot! When I was 120kg I got tired even running for 5 minutes. Ever extra kg you carry makes everything far more difficult

[@JitinMisra]

Are you in England ?

[@JMower]

Yep, moved back to england in feb

[@mjokffsgfjs]

Do you miss the prices of items on Taobao? 😂

[@JMower]

100%, amazon is way more expensive! Although aliexpress is pretty good too!

[@mjokffsgfjs]

@@JMower AliExpress is 'foreigner' price after anyone had 'tasted' Taobao.
