Fitnesstypes. I've been taking your advice.

I'm far from convinced anyone actually feels any better, until you run for a bus, or walk up a hill, and realise that you wouldn't have managed it 12 months previously...

You should feel better after every workout, as the endorphins kick in.

If Pat isn't feeling any better he isn't doing it properly. Or he's over-compensating in some other, less healthy, manner.
