Its a good thing that the fat modelling phenomena will force a few women into the lifestyle of a specialist athlete, where they must exercise to maintain their skin tone and reasonably photogenic fat distribution, but they must eat an absurd diet to prevent themselves from losing the weight their career depends upon. Literally force feeding themselves and supplementing with high carb bulk up shakes, for the benefit of the average insecure fat person who doesn't make that effort but just lives a lazy lifestyle. It's a good thing those insecure fat people won't realise the difference in their lifestyles and will instead assume they must be fat for similar reasons, and just look at how happy and fit my roll models all are.

Wait, that sounds like the worst of all possible options that hurts everybody but feels good and empowering on the surface so therefore sells products.

Fat people should not run actually. They should use ellipticals or bikes to avoid further disturbing their already-dangerously-inflamed knees. But regardless they should do one of those things two to three times a week combined with a healthy diet and occasional free-weight exercises. #truthbomb

a 20 minute mile ain't really running lady. Good on you for the exercise and all, but that's a comfortable walking pace.

Also please don't tell 20+ minute milers to do marathons, it would take them nearly 9 hours and all the volunteers would get upset because everyone else had finished and they want to go home. like that Ragen lady who preaches HAES and "ran" a marathon in 12 1/2 hours (about the same speed my 65 year old mother walks up mountains) and who got pissed off that the 5k "race" that took her over an hour to walk didn't have enough XXXL shirts for her to have one for free because she was slower than the other XXXL people who actually tried to move faster than a gentle stroll.

I can't wait for her Ironman attempt. She's doing a half in less than three months.

1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, 13.1-mile run under 9 hours.

In less than 3 months. And as of now, she's unable to stop her bike without either falling or throwing herself to the side.

I don't even understand how jogging a 20 min/mi is supposed to work, and my easy runs are real slow. Most people aim for 15 min/mi when taking a brisk walk. "Jogging" at pace slower than that is just pumping your legs twice for every one step you take.

That's 3 mph or the equivalent of a moderately paced walk. I can sometimes make better time than that backpacking in rough country

To pass air assault school in the Army, you have to do a 12 mile ruck march in less than 3 hours. With a bunch of poo poo in your ruck and carrying your weapon. This person is moving slower than that, for 2 miles.

curious, how much does a ruck weigh in general? ragen chastain is probably lugging a lot more than that on her elite athletic bod.

I don't think there's all that much stuff in there, maybe 20 - 30 lbs?

Luckily, all the fatsos she's "inspiring" aren't actually going to do anything. It'd be funny if this led to a rash of big fat fatties destroying their knees though

I wonder for how long? I had myself down to a 7 minute running 5k pretty well every day one summer. I'm at 10 now which I don't mind because it's a nice pace for me and my doggy. :3:

If they had actually walked from NYC to LA, they would have burned enough calories to lose 40% of their total body weight. Of course, you would have to skip a few of the Golden Corrals along the way.

They seem to have added up all the miles for everyone on their site. They mention there are over 1500 members, and they took 10 weeks to get the 2800 miles. Which works out to 0.026 miles or 140 feet per person per day.

slight tangent but i knew a girl who would call in hit and runs when people cat called her if she could get their license plate number

that is pretty funny but probably wasted a shitload of tax dollars and court time

I see above average weight women out jogging around here quite often. I give them a ton of credit for at least giving it a go. Many are probably working off pregnancy weight post childbirth.
