Broken Toe
Hello All, I have been a bit lax in keeping the thread alive lately, so I apologize. The start of 2016 has not been a good one on my end, with the dealings of 'runners knee' which has required physio, and then the breaking of a toe. Basically my running has come to a screeching halt. With all of that said, there is light…
Strava??
Hi All, If anyone is interested, I could set up a club within Strava, so you can see everyone's progress. If not, and everyone would prefer to keep the group motivation here, that is fine as well. Let me know your thoughts, and I will do whatever the general consensus is between us all. Andy

Running/fitness related Christmas Gift Wish List
What are you asking for (or getting for yourself) this Christmas that is running or fitness related? I find it very hard to ask for things as most of them I'd like to try on/pick out for myself like shoes and new workout clothes.

Do a 2-3k warm up & cool down. Fartlek= means varying the pace of your run as you see fit-this is a 'feel' run. Go @ sprint pace, followed…
