I am so unfit I had to slow down on the return leg of a fun road that was only 15 kilometres long.I might take up swimming and walk before work.

 

Does anyone else get tired when they are driving?

hmmm that dont sound too good.

 

I dont get tired when driving fast/hard cornering for long durations, and its not like i have powersteering or anything.

Do you have low blood pressure by chance? maybe that could be it when you going around the corners, could be G-Forces messing you about?

but i'm no doctor lol!

 

Hope you see some results with working on getting fitter though, u just gonna do some runs in the mornings or somthing?

I am just unfit from standing behind a till all day at work.I used to move things around at work and go for a 20 minute walk before work started.

 

I got pretty tired a couple of weeks ago and did no exercise.And then I got sick.

 

I am sure I will come right if I stick to a plan.If I can drive a 100km at a good rate of speed without deteriorating too much I will be happy.I can drive hundreds of kays slowly.

I get tired at about 2 hours into a drive... I stop for 5 mins, stretch my legs and I'm alright again! :)

Honestly i'm reasonably fit, i jog 3.5km at least couple times a week.... but less than an hour of driving and my eyes begin getting prickly and tired (could be because i leave the air temperature setting over to hot) LOL otherwise i'm clueless!

Your not the only one no doubt ^_^

Wayne here,Andrew.It is good to hear you have a job.

 

I hope you can get your blood pressure down .In 2009 whilst I was asleep I had a blood pressure of about 168/120.I am on medication for it now.

I drove Mt Tiger sweet Monday.
