Yes @rb3551, I thought it was strange when my 9.5 mile run last Friday showed in my diary as 'jogging' when I ran an average pace of 9:03 min per mile. But I tend to ignore the detail of the running data in MFP. I have MFP linked to Garmin Connect and my pace doesn't show correctly in MFP (it was showing 10 min per mile!)…

Thank you @AnnPT77. I'll come back in a couple of weeks to update my thread, as I'm sure I'll learn a lot more during the next few weeks of continuing monitoring my intake.

Weighed 122 lbs (8 stone 10 lbs) today which is my goal weight. Very happy with this. It's really has been an eye opener since I've started logging my food intake from 11th March. Watching what I eat, along with daily exercise is allowing me to eat a minimum of 1,450 calories a day and lose weight. Now that I have reached…

Straight arm planks: 2 x 30 seconds Forearm planks: 2 x 30 seconds Press ups: 3 x 5 reps

1 hour Rebounding workout, including planks. 9.5 mile run, average pace 9:03 min per mile. 1.5 mile walk.

9.5 miles today - longest multi-terrain run wearing my 'barefoot' minimalist shoes. No knee problems and I think (apart from the mountain trails where I use my trail shoes which are comfortable) I'm going to switch to these for the time being. They really are helping to stop my knees from hurting. April cumulative: 14/100…

I have a Rebounder/mini trampoline at home and I love it! Had it for around 4 years and I bounce on it daily, but do a proper 45 minute workout on it 3 times a week. I don't follow a particular routine (there are plenty online though), but I do general bouncing around, running on the spot, single leg hopping, jumping side…

1.5 mile walk - lunchtime 4.5 mile run - late afternoon 8 min isometric exercise workout, followed by 2 x 45 second straight arm planks - early evening

Hello, I'm new to this thread and looking forward to taking part in this challenge. I also run and am hoping these exercises will help with my running, increase strength and help prevent injuries. I don't have a specific goal in terms of how many planks I'll do this month, as I'm new to this, but I hope to do some planks…

Started off the month with a 4.5 mile road/trail run, with 419 feet of elevation. I ran in my barefoot minimalist shoes as my knee has been hurting since getting new Mizuno trainers in January. I don't know why, but a short run in minimalist shoes tends to sort out any aches/pains - perhaps I should do it more often? Going…

Hello, I'm new to the MFP community but not new to running. Been running for 4 years and I mostly run trail/mountain. Mileage goal for April is 100 miles (did 98 miles in March) and elevation goal is 10,000 feet (did 9,366 feet in March).

Hello, I'm new to the MFP community and just came across this group and this type of exercise is something I'd really like to get into. Will there be an April challenge which I could join?

I follow 16:8 and have a small lunch at 1pm, followed by my main meal around 8pm. When I run during the week, it's in the evening after work and my lunch would have been something small like an apple, Yogurt and a few olives. But during the weekend, my longer runs are almost always run in a fasted state. I will only tend…

Thank you for the above information. I have adjusted the rate of weight loss per week to 0.5 lbs and this has given me an increase of 250 calories a day. Daily calorie goal is now 1,450 which according to my Garmin watch is slightly under my RMR. I think this is much more do-able than a calorie goal of 1,200. I'm not…

Thank you for all the information and advice @AnnPT77 :) . I'm definitely going to work more on strength and conditioning workouts, plus core exercises as it helps with my running. Having done some reading on body recomposition, I see lots about doing squats, pull-ups, press-ups etc but nothing about sit-ups? I would have…

Thank you both for the welcome and your weightloss is amazing! I tend to fast 16:8 and have been doing this for a couple of years. I don't have breakfast, have a small lunch at 1pm and main meal around 8pm. I'm quite active and exercise daily: run around 20-25 miles a week, do rebounding sessions 3-4 times a week, walking…

I used to weigh myself daily, but for the last fortnight I've been weighing on a Wednesday and Saturday only. My weight fluctuates by a couple of pounds so it makes sense for me to not weigh daily, also I think it gives me a better idea of how to manage my weight for the next weigh-in.
