Hi, my story is that I am accidentally on OMAD - but I think/hope it might be here for the long term. I had a chest infection for a couple of weeks and I was coughing so hard I couldnt keep food down so only had soup once per day. I got better a couple of weeks ago so reverted onto solid food but still small portions…

September Slow recovery run as legs heavy. Had some beer, vodka, lots and lots of tapas (and with delicious evoo) and nutty toffee cheesecake last night so felt happy to just be able to run today. 1. 1/9 7.6m 2. 3/9 5.5m 3. 4/9 6.5m 3/14 19.6m

September Legs sore, right foot sore so took it easy on park run today. Not fun at all. Hopefully be ok for my harder run tomorrow. 1. 1/9 7.6m 2. 3/9 5.5m 2/14 13.1m

I have a 2 week beach holiday this month :smiley: then my 10k 6 days after I get home. I am therefore going to challenge myself to a number of runs rather than miles to make me do something no matter how short on holiday even if conditions are as hot and humid as expected. So goal is 14 runs - my normal scheduled 6 until I…

In the UK park runs are weekly timed events in local public parks mostly 5k but some longer. They are entirely run by volunteers and are free to everyone. Can be from 20 to 500(+) participants.

Great run @mbaker566 ! Well done!

Wow sounds like lots of people having great runs with just a few toughies. @Virkati I am also striving for a 10 minute mile over more than 1 mile, I have lost lots of weight but it still eludes me. Hopefully soon it will come for us both. I believe in the science that it must happen. @mbaker566 it is tough to get motivated…

Made it out of bed at 5.30am but moved in slo mo so took me until nearer 6 to get out the house - normally takes 10min lol.…

Hope it's not hurting you to sit down on a rest day :blush:

Grrrr when are all these miles…

I hope you enjoy the club @louubelle16 . I joined one about 6 weeks ago and it helped me increase my miles and dedication - I was guilty of missing one of my midweek runs if I finished work late but the club is keeping me running 4x per week consistently 2 midweek with club, 1 with new friends made at club and my own…

Might have been that I got soaked with rain in first 2 miles.

Was good fun, I came in 10…

Again I failed to rise early so faced the heat. Started fine but each mile got slower and slower.…

Was tough as the folk I run with are faster and I struggle to keep up ( they slow down enough to keep me with them whilst pushing me as much as they can). My…

The wine would likey have been dehydrating you giving you a lower weight reading than properly hydrated you would be. You say "moderate food tracking" - if this means you are not weighing and logging everything then you may be eating healthier but consuming more calories than you realise. Count every calorie you consume…

August 2Aug - 7m 4Aug - 8m 6Aug - 5m 7Aug - 6.4m 26.6/100miles Did a 10k route this morning. All hills. Felt like my lungs could have taken me further but my legs were rebelling half way through. Apparently "hills are our friends, hills make us stronger"..... Welcome @luluinca the folk on here are great, I have learned…

I always set to sedentary and add workouts manually. Otherwise you may be double counting and eating too much. I also only eat up to a maximum of workout calories, even less if it was a really big burn e.g. If I did a long run (70-90mins) that burned 700-800 kcals I would be unlikely to eat back more than 300 unless it was…

@ereck44 at 38 "you are so young" made my day! Yeah I broke a variety of bones in a short space of time so got a sent for a dexa scan. Other than "try not to fall and get as much naturally occurring calcium" as possible it doesn't affect me at all. Been told it will likely become osteoporosis in 10-20 years so I will worry…

August 2Aug - 7m 4Aug - 8m 6Aug - 5m 20/100miles Had a few drinks last night so my run was a couple of hours later this morning. Delighted to have made it out even if it was hot - the previous version of me would never have exercised after drinking. This is definitely my crowd, self professed geeks, no coordination at…

August 2Aug - 7m 4Aug - 8m 15/100miles New longest run! Was supposed to be 7.5m but got a tiny bit lost and had to backtrack a little :blush: Followed the written directions I was sent by running club but have now been told these are not always the best. Too tired to catch up on the mammoth amount of posts, need my bed,…

I know many of you have a running gear habit so I have a question about shoes. I currently run in Nike dual fusion and know that it is neutral/cushioned shoes that I need. I have been told by lots of people now that Nike are not really the best for running. I have broad feet and tried new balance and they were too narrow.…

August 2Aug - 7m 7/100miles Intervals in the rain tonight. First time I have done this properly by myself and it was really tough but interesting. Was pleased with having done 7miles but now I see it as 7 of 100 it seems like I have given myself a tough month! Huge number of posts, looks like everyone off to a great start.…
