Lol time always flies sadly, I think throwing away all clocks and watches should be a given!! You have bad weather also?? Oh dear its that big one!! I remember it well I kept going back to the last one, but when I did it - it was fine :) I thought what was all the fuss about lol Hope you do ok on it :)

Yes I am sure I will refer back to this too Orphia, I am doing the running on the spot, 20 sec, then rest a minute and do this 2 more times, it would be like a kata in martial arts, where the brain remembers the act and so the speed increases when you are actually doing it... I have recorded my time and hope this will…

Di[/quote] Wow, I hadn't noticed that about the Mondays. I guess either is good - rest or strength/stretch. Perhaps the main page assumes you'll be stretching after/before runs. I'm not following the plan's non-running days exactly. I do a 5.5 km walk (or more) every day I don't run, I walk about 18,000 steps a day, and I…

http://running.competitor.com/2014/09/training/3-ways-to-increase-running-cadence-for-speed_112765 Something else I did wrong was to try to sprint the last part of my run, however this article suggests a few ways to increase 'cadence' a better way to learn ways that is likely to perhaps causes less injury...interesting :)…

Hi Orphia, hope you are well and hope you are surviving your hip pain? I have done my first run as per the Hal Higdon site you mentioned, albeit with a little difficulty with my new runtastic app i downloaded disappearing behind my screensaver...so a little adjustment is necessary for Thursday run, or I will be looking at…

Thank you all I am reading this thread with interest as I have downloaded Runtastic on to my phone, however I had problems today removing the screen saver continually to read it (guess I could over ride that) but I would love a vibrate to tell me how i'm doing and when I reach my goal which will vary from day to day...I…

Hi All, I think you are all doing wonderfully and cannot thank you for all you support, i was going to add my goals, since I have finally awoken, however I just read this: If you announce your goals to others, you become less likely to achieve them because you lose motivation, studies show – As early as 1933, tests have…

Oh remembered a friend was posting on fb he uses runtastic so I am downloading it as we speak, ....yippee should be ready to 'go' tomorrow, I best not get too excited.. slow and steady :) let you know how it goes Di

Hi wow this is really informative Orphia, I have not heard a lot about orthotics!! probably not a lot of it in England? or because I do not know anyone flopsided, well I do now :wink: I actually am going to have a chat to my physio next time I see him as I had a lot done last year re teasing out the scar tissue and muscles…

Thanks very much, Di! That's a really good thing to hear, what your physio said. That may be it. I'm already trying to improve my 5K times every Saturday at parkrun. Am I doing too much by trying to run longer as well? My hip was nearly better at parkrun yesterday, but a bit sore at the end and I can feel it a bit today. I…

So right d_thomas02 to do what is right to suit each person...you are doing extremely well and I take note of your times etc and will hope to try these later when able...hope you feel better soon after your op. Hope your hip is on the mend ?? Orphia :/ Take care btw my stupid computer likes to think it knows what I want to…

Sorry that should have been intense stretching and exercise before I do any further running lol..sorry for long waffle :) happy wagging...

I too have been told off this week by my physio, I said it was a goal for me to do 10k by the summer, he said yes and although i have no problems with you doing this, what you will do is when you get to 10k you will set yourself another goal....on and on infinitum lol.... What he suggested to me is yes do 10k if you must,…

Thanks d_thomas02...I will not stop trying nice quote :) just trying to get on top ....thanks Dee for your kind words today xx

So how do you make it? the brownie? and do you eat it at night? like a treat? how many cals is it? Thanks

I will remember that...thanks for the advice :)

Excellent article thanks for sharing :)

Oh my word, Orphia...since last april??? this is amazing....:) no it is astounding!! I must get up off my bum and use this site properly!!

Yes I have read the like re metabolism, I felt really hot 1hr after taking some early, which easily could be a plesebo effect, however I am always cold...esp my feet so something else I will monitor, thanks :)

Great to hear from you, Di! I hope your knee feels better soon. It seems the older we get, the more injuries we get. You and are the same age -- hopefully, we will survive C10K. xox[/quote] I certainly hope so Dee...:) I would hate to give up now!!! Does it make any difference if I believe that I am not 58 at all but 44yrs…

Brilliant, Brilliant, there is so much use in these comments above I cannot thank you enough, I will try for a little while the use of 1 tsp of coconut oil 30mins before 2 meals and possibly put a tsp in my porridge also and I will let you know how I feel about this in the coming weeks... (I totally get MommaL2015, who…

that is interesting thanks for your replies, I have had it suggested to add it to porridge, I never thought of vegetable taking on the flavour of coconut, I think I may need to experiment.....thanks

Well I am rehabilitating too...I am having a little trouble with knee pain, I may need to do more stretching in future, when I restart, as per Dee instructions, I will listen in future :) My Mi band has not lasted very long and now no longer syncs, I may have to google help for that... I hope to be back running by maybe…

I'm in!! though may have trouble with the technology of getting the app to work...:)

Barggh humbug lol...:)

Happy Christmas to Dee as well :) sorry for using your thread Dee for practicing my computer skills lol ;)

You mean like this? Happy Christmas lol

Yes BUT!?!?!?? The whole world IS different isn't it lol....wait until we have 10k under our belts!!! All of us!! and thanks for the artistry, how did you do that lol, with the bits and bobs above?
