Anyway, around a dozen years on now, it’s me that’s too heavy unfortunately. Although I play footy once a week and go down the gym three or so times a week, I’m simply not used to the frenetic activity that five a side demands. I’d gone into it with the best intentions, done my stretches (tight groin you know), and even had pasta for lunch but short of a prolonged period on some sort of sport nutrition supplement I don’t think anything I do at 40 odd years old is going to make a huge amount of difference.
Still, I’ve got the fact I’m a mean table football player, and of course a red hot FIFA player (PS4), to fall back on, so it’s not the end of the world exactly…
