WINTER LARD IS COMING! PROTECT YOURSELF!

Jason steps back from moaning about everything for a change to deliver a bit of inspirational fitness speak.

It’s the start of winter – a time when most of us probably ride our bikes less and possibly eat just as much as we do in the summer, perhaps a bit more. Body fat can come in handy for insulation I suppose, but that’s of little consequence if your spouse has turned the central heating up to full blast anyway. I think body fat could be useful if you were kidnapped and locked in a shed for a few weeks without food or if you’re walking to the North Pole, but other than that you should probably think about how you’re going to survive until spring without turning yourself into a blimp. This isn’t a winter training and nutrition guide. I’m not here to tell you how you’re going to get ripped abdominal muscles or how you’re going to have The Best Year Ever next year. Not without charging you money for it anyway.
