Yesterday, on a whim, I extended my run (my long run on a weekend is usually 15km, and my longest ever was 16km) and ran a full non-stop 21km - that's half marathon distance!!! I started running with the C25K programme about 10 months ago and was completely convinced at the time that I would never be able to run a full…

In June I ran in my first ever 'race'. I wore a tank top while most of the other runners were in thermals (it's winter here). I have multiple sclerosis and overheating triggers my symptoms.

Muldactus, number 2, with the headphones - you look like you'd be fun to be around.

Thanks. I realise that the HRM takes measurements at regular intervals, but was worried that my heart rate would still be up for a while after I'd stopped working so hard. I guess in the greater scheme of things it won't make too much difference, and I think you're right - if I eat back half the exercise calories that…

Great, thanks for the reply. Perhaps I was overthinking it :)
