You could tell him that he can belly ache and complain only when he's put in the kind of training you've been doing.
Oh trust me. I don't make him train. I offer up for him to come along with me... but if he says no... I drop the subject. I don't harp on him to join me. He can not train if he wants to.

And... sometimes, I rather like training alone. Not to mention, I like doing distances on the bike and he doesn't. When he does go with me to bike rallies, he gets rather grumpy half way through it. Although, he does his best to hide it from me.

I tolerate his attitude as best I can. I try to ignore it pretty much. When I do point out that he doesn't really train... he says that he has been training, or he thinks that he should be fast even though he doesn't train.
