hahahahaha on the gummy bears :)

diet fizzy drinks are the only reason I am able to give up drinking beer and wine.

How much milk are people using in this, using an actual measurement? Have just not managed to get mine to "fluff" Last lot was 100ml of skimmed milk, 1 frozen banana, 45g of protein powder. 50ml just looks like nothing?

So time to start working on the blueberrie, peanut butter, red wine and dark chocolate protein shake.

Being honest, if you are just running an hour a day your not going to need a rest day. The time relaxing on a run is probably more of a rest than it would be if you were indoors not running :)

*kitten* em, *kitten* em all. There are too many people in this world looking to get your down, to put their rubbish on you, to say what you can and can't do. Well *kitten* em. You are here only once, we have a limited time to make our mark on this world. Enjoy you time here. Find people who make you happy, those who…

This is my view on it, because to do otherwise is to put yourself down, to minimise your own achievements.

I ran the Thames Path challenge last month, that's a 100km. Took me 15 hours to complete it. Firstly, you need to get outside. Try and walk / run on ground that is similar to what your going to be doing on the actual walk. I think that L2B run is run by the same people who did the TPC. On the TPC site there were links to…

if you can master licking your eyebrows and breathing through your ears then women won't care what your body looks like.

Seeing a picture of me during a 50km run, I thought that I was fit and looking good leading up to that run, then I say a picture of a fat bloke, which a double chin, who looked like he was going to die any minute. Realised that you need to step back and have a true look at yourself. Be truthful.

I'm going to be signing up for a Tough Mudder April 30th next year. Send me an invite. It will be my first OCR, so would be interested in what training you did to get ready for it.

I would go for maybe good? Depending on what else you do in a day, the recommended steps, 10k amounts to roughly 5 miles a day. Your gym sessions on a daily basis are netting you 3 miles, so you still need to get in another 2 miles a day, just to be getting the "recommended" number of steps or exercise. Running is…

This 100%.

increase your speed and incline on the treadmill, until you are actually working out enough that you don't have time to watch a TV show.

Firstly, every single person is a runner. It is part of our genes, just because we have access to cars etc doesn't stop us being runners. How often do you hear parents shouting to their kids "slow down!" When we were kids we did everything at break neck speed. You never walked when you could run. So it doesn't matter where…

As for the original post: 1. Get down to around 15% BF. I have set myself a 6 month target for this 2. Increase my lifting every couple of weeks until I'm down to 15% BF. 3. Get ready for my next ultramarathon - April 30 2016

Start running now, never leave it till another day, jog for as long as you can and then walk till you get your breath back and then jog some more, rinse and repeat. Start out with maybe a 10 min walk/jog. Keep trying to add a few more steps or an extra second or two to your job portion. Get out there and enjoy it!

Spag bol with cheese :)

That is the only thing you need to think about when considering running. What happens if your probably not fully healed injury gets injured worse this time....?

Do both, yes cardio is generally better for weight loss because you will burn more calories doing cardio but you will want to also do strength training to make sure that you minimise the chance of losing muscle while losing weight.

Thought I would bump this, but add a question. When you have a "whoosh" weight loss do you log it straight away or give it a few days to see if you settle around there. In my case, I way myself every morning and only bother to update MFP when the weight changes. I track daily stuff outside of MFP where I can see trend…

because estimating calorie burn through lifting is extremely hard. It's not like cardio when you normally have a constant raised HR. Look for strength work / lifting under cardio section of exercise.

You have a few options. 1. Eat what she has made, but eat a much smaller portion 2. Take your own food and suck up the comments 3. Tell your mum that is she doesn't stop making an issue over this then you will just stop coming around 4. Just don't eat anything while you are there.

Totally anecdotal evidence. I recently finished a 100k race, during my training I didn't do any speed work at all. I was just focused on getting as much road time as possible. Towards the end of my training I did two speed runs, 5k and 10k. Both on hilly trails. My 5k time was 22:40ish, down from around 28:00 My 10 time…

Are you a beginner? As in how long have you been lifting? If you are a beginner, haven't lifted constantly for a couple of years then just look up "starting strength" It's a good basic routine to help build the core strength needed for things later on.

eat more, you have your weight loss set on the max, which is giving you the minimum amount of calories to get by on. Also having a quick look through your diary there are quite a few days in the last week were you only ate 1k calories. Personally I would adjust the weekly loss down to 1lb a week and make sure I ate the…

Run more and then after that, run a bit more.

£15.99 a month , Fitness4Less, just around the corner from my office. Big open gym with a decent weights section, with at least 2 squat racks. So much better than the £34.99 a month I was paying for a fitnessfirst, which had a rubbish weights section.

When lifting any heavy objects outside of the gym, it is very unlikely you are going to be lifting using the curling movement. You are more likely using a combination of squat and deadlift, unless you want to do yourself an injury lifting heavy objects.
