Ive spent many a happy time in Weymouth; white hart, Harry's and a few other pubs. I bet they've all gone now :(

I think I've nailed this look...now, where did I leave my bike?

Hampshire UK

It's the fabulous 40's - I'm enjoying it :)

Nothing else matters!!!

Always possible - knees shot, try cycling or swimming? It's low impacted so should get you back on track

Pace yourself, small goals, small targets, good music!!!

I find that I need a sporting goal to keep me motivated and something to aim for; enter a race / sportive. You may not win it but it's about beating your time, or just completing the event. Good luck and I hope it all goes well

You're welcome to add me - I was once told I needed to run around in a shower to get wet, but through time I've added some timber

Wow, I'm not too far from the New Forest and didn't know these rides existed. We'll keep a close eye on the website for future events

Hydration is very important, I set an alarm on my gps to go off every 20 minutes to remind me to drink - little and often, if you're thirsty then it's too late someone once told me?

Hiya mo_magic on garmin

mo_magic on garmin / strava please add away

I'm mid-forties and loving life, please add away. Also on garmin 'mo_magic'

I'm all garmin 'mo_magic' but if I was you I'd hold out until the garmin vivoactive HR hits the shops, soon I believe - it looks like it'll cover your every need. Wish I had held out and waited - I've a 520, vivosmart HR and garmin 225 (far too may gadgets)

Update: went to a specialist running shop, shoes are at the end of their life but no time to break in a new pair. They recommended foam heels to place inside the shoe to give more support - seems to be working, running with more confidence, and when the opportunity arises I'll break in a new pair. Thanks to all you guys…

Faithless - insomnia

mo_magic on garmin, you're welcome to add me

It's a great way to get out and explore the world, plus good for socialising

What you mean it's not all swim, surf and body beautiful - that's my holiday cancelled! ;)

South coast here...add away!!

I'm from Blighty!!!

Did a 8mile plod with strapping seemed to feel ok; I think you're right about the shoes they're getting to the end of their life, but with 2 races over the next 2 weekends it's too late to bed another pair in me thinks??

*advice even

Cheers people, good advise by all. The splint / support sounds a viable option as I don't want to forfeit the races unless I really have too

I'm off for another run tonight and I'll seehow it goes, the last few times I've been limping the following day even with a slow pace - may have to cutback on the training :(

Mo_magic if you want to add me, steps, cycling, running my thing

And not running isn't a option seeing as I've a duathlon at the weekend and a half marathon on the 24th - should I reduce my running between races???

I bought a viviosmart hr and garmin forerunner 225 just before xmas, I now wish I had held out for the vivoactive hr which'll hit the shops soon, and does everything:(

I won't send you flowers, or chocolates I'm init for the fitness and weight...
