You should come ;) It's very beautiful here. Thank you now I get it. We call it ice coffee and have entire shopping isles dedicated to flavoured milks especially the coffee variety. I actually shouldn't have posted, just couldn't help myself and ask.

I would win

I'm from the other side of the world (Australia) but I have to know...what is coffee milk?!?

I just want to say a massive thank you to all of those people who offer to become mentors to complete strangers. Your time, knowledge and support is such an important gift that has the potential to completely change someone's life. I've found my mentor who is absolutely amazing. I feel humbled by and so proud of this…

That looks like superhero outfit to me ;)

Unfortunately, looks like the number of noobs out weigh the number of mentors. No pun intended.

I'm going to make this short a sweet. Noob: yes. I would love the support of a mentor to reclaim my body. I want to hear your experiences and am happy to share the ups and downs of mine in Australia. I'm currently on the tail end of the couch to 5k. I would like to drop 10kg but my focus is on athleticism rather than a…

Holy smokes batman: DON'T punish yourself. Drop one word and that sentence has a whole new meaning!!!

I rolled my ankle recently and gave it two weeks for the swelling to go down. Even though i got to week 7, i went back in the program to week 5 to ease myself into running again. I would also suggest if it still hurts you should see a physio. He/she may suggest some strengthening exercises and some form of strapping. You…

Hi Ravenferrel3612 I can't comment on any of the other apps but I can recommend Strava. I use it to tack my runs as well as bike rides. It can feed into my fitness pal as well as tracks the route I've taken, elevation (I live in a hilly place) and pace. Although, I'm sure all of these kinds of apps have similar functions.…

I'm loving all of this wonderful advice and I am totally investing in some of this stuff!

Thank you indegoSue! I will try this and see if it helps. It's just so hot here at the moment. :neutral_face: Good on you Jess! Seriously I think it's never too late to start and never too hard to pick up again. You may suffer set backs (or not!!!) just don't feel under pressure to complete it in the 9 weeks. Go at your…

Jess how long ago did you start running? I'm secretly hoping the same thing about it just being a matter of fitness but let's face it, my chances are low lol. I actually have a number of other hurdles I have to deal with apart from becoming red and sweaty. Because it is so hot here I can't run without leggings on otherwise…

IndigoSue any and all advice is totally welcome here with me. I used an ankle brace on my run which was very comfortable during the run but not so for walking. I am so greatful to have found a c25k community with people that are trying and those that have succeeded and kind enough to be so supportive. This should make you…

The old ankle is not too bad. The swelling has gone down and I managed to go for a run this afternoon. My strategy was to go back to week 5 and build up again from there. Good news: I didn't fall over! I was so grumpy today. The run has put me in a much better mood. It's the first time in my life that I have acknowledged…

You are awesome PaytraB! I really appreciate your words of wisdom and love the fact you are a veteran c25k offering support :smile: I have two small children and taking our dog for a run is a luxury as it is time that is purely for me. Each time I get back home from a run i am a darling lobster red colour, completely…

PaytraB thank you for your kind words and solid advice. Lucky you stepped in, otherwise I was just going to keep jibber jabbing to myself! How are you going in the c25k?

How are you going today? Just checking in to make sure you stay nice a positive! Love Sidonie

Australia (particularly western australia) is ablaze at the moment so I can't thank people in your profession enough. What aspect of the app do you like most?

One step at a time Sidonie. Nice and steady wins the race. Love Sidonie
