Reviews - Featured in THE SCOTTISH SUN, who simply said, ‘AUTHOR Paul Murdoch has penned a hilarious book about trying to keep the pounds off during a pandemic – while maintaining his love of food and booze.
The 60-year-old has written a sequel to his cult 2019 self-help guide Old Bloke Goes Running after injury forced him to ditch the trainers for a pair of Speedos.’
Reilly Dufresne (Writer and Former Lifestyle Editor of the Glasgow University’s Qmunicate Magazine) says…
‘First off, I want to say congratulations on another captivating book. I finished all of it in one sitting. Some of the writing was REALLY funny. I especially liked page 87/88 when you write: ‘I slow down a bit to float face down for a few seconds to see if the lifeguard is paying attention.’ This had me laughing out loud. Later, I was in stitches when you wrote: ‘The butterfly, a stupid stroke in my opinion that must have been invented by a sadist, is best as it crunches the most calories’. As a former competitive swimmer, I couldn’t have summed the stroke up better. I also really appreciated the information on black pepper – I’ve been generously adding it to dinner preparation! Once again, congratulations on a delightful book! - Reilly Dufresne (Writer and Former Lifestyle Editor of the Glasgow University’s Qmunicate Magazine)
The follow up to Old Bloke Goes Running but also a stand alone look at swimming and all its eccentricities... another irreverent look at sport through the eyes of a reluctant participant. Some of the equipment featured in the book is listed shown below.
My Garmin 245 Forerunner - excellent swim and run watch in my opinion.
My Zoogs Preditor Flex goggles. Love them.
My Slazenger Trunks.
My Polar swim pouch. Ideal for the locker room.
