Fat people can run. Usually fatter people have a much higher metabolism than slimmer and larger muscle mass, which they've got by carrying much more weight.
Anyway, if he was coming to get me in a shark attack, I'd be glad for his presence. The shark might bow out down to the presence of stiff competition. Incidentally, during an interview, I once asked an extremely obese interviewer if the company kept a 'keep fit' programme. I didn't get the job. :rofl: Aye...and some chap did complete I think the LA marathon who weighed in at 400 pounds, but he was a sumo wrestler....took him 9 odd hours so fair play to him :D |

"What would happen if you were a fitness freak i.e. swimming, gym, running, aerobics etc, but you also ate 10 burgers a day and a ton of other crap" We discussed it for ages, obviously over a few beers ourselves, and the most rational answer we came up with was: You would end up as one of those huge defensive backers in an American football team - Incredibly fit and strong and incredibly overweight Thats not a joke either. What would happen to someone who stuffs their face but also excersises to excess? JTL |

When I've run in races, I've seen all sorts of people running. Fat, thin, chubby, porcine, and micro-thin. |
