Hi There! I'm Dave, 30, single, originally from West Yorkshire and living in Cambridge.

I joined this a few months ago as I have been trying to drop some serious pounds to get into running and am planning on running my first 10K in London at the end of May.

Feel free to add me - I need all the motivation I can get and am always looking to meet new people :-)

    Hi Dave, congrats on your decision to run a 10k! How fun! I hope you enjoy running as much as I do. It was a real life changer :)

    Hi and welcome Dave.

    Good plan, I've learnt from bitter experience running alone doesn't make you miraculously lose weight (myself and a bunch of friends all put on weight training for a marathon). I need to lose at least 2 stone to get back to my fighting weight. I've got a 5K, 5 miler and 10K planned this year.

    Hi Dave..... I have recently got up to running 10k...not a race - just for myself..but for a 62 year old who has just been running for 7 months I am chuffed to bits with myself! Loving running!

    I'm from West Yorkshire too so good luck to a fellow Tyke
