Thanks for your reply. It didn't seem to match up with what I had read online, though I'm no expert as you can probably tell!

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

I hadn't thought of that-I will give it a go today. Thanks for the tip and shaking up my conventional "running/gym=exercise" mentality

Hi everyone thanks for all your tips. Unfortunately the hotel chain doesn't have fridges/toasters/microwaves but its a great idea to use grocery shops. Sometimes we're with clients for dinner, but for nights I'm not I will definitely make that transition!

Thanks everyone-some great suggestions which I will definitely put to good use starting today! :smile: Great to know I can still keep up my fitness and hopefully improve upon it!

Thank you! I will give that a go tonight as I've got a ground floor room so wont keep them up with any burpees haha!

Thank you for these tips-they are very realistic and achievable! I will be travelling by train :)

Yep it was that one! Thank you all the for the suggestions :smile:

Hi All, Thanks for the feedback :) much appreciated. I will continue the distance and, whilst we don't have hills round us as it's very flat I will see where I can go to try this out on weekends.

Hi Meanderingmammal I started running 5 months ago with a walk/run programme building up to 10k, as before I couldn’t run more than a few metres without getting out of breath. I can run this comfortably (though like anyone I have harder days) 3-4 times a week. Usually I will aim to do 2-3 10ks in evenings and one 5k in the…

Thanks, when you say shorter faster runs. Would you run for example 20 minutes at fast speed, or 20 minutes fast with recovery time in?

thanks all :smile: glad to know theres light at the end of the tunnel hopefully!

I make mine- freeze bananas in slices and then blizz them wit frozen berries, vanilla essence and a tablespoon of soy milk :)

Try substituting it with dried or medjool dates as they're quite sugary but natural sugar. That way you still feel like getting a treat

Thanks everyone, it's good to get some feedback on your experiences. I will try the next couple of times and if I am still feeling rubbish I will mix it up and try a light snack such as half a banana 30 mins before Clare-good point I had an unusually salty dinner so it could have been a hydration issue. I hadn't thought of…

I am exactly the same-lost 25lbs and fell off the wagon post wedding! My advice would be to analyse your eating patern-is there a particular time of day you tend to eat more? Personally I am good until after dinner then over eat on snacks in the evening. So I now keep all snacks out of the house and keep myself busy with…

I could only run for about 15 seconds then started using the C25K app by zenlabs. You start off with 30 seconds light jogging then 1 1/2 minutes walking and repeat this x amount of times. It built up my stamina and confidence at the same time. I know what you mean about people seeing you-I go out at 0600 in the morning…
