I LOVE cardio, my running is everything to me. Weights on the other hand, i do them every now and then. If you find the motivation mojo let me know.

Hi Ya! I started running in 2009, I competitively rowed Surf Boats for 10years & when the season finished in 2009, was asked if I wanted to run a 1/2 marathon, I was up for the challenge, i have since run 3 1/2's my best time 1hr 39min, and last year completed my first marathon, was on track to complete in Sub 4hrs but…

@BroDave, i will start training for my 2nd Marathon in march the race being in July. have you run distance before ? i love the freedom running gives me. do you have a training program or do you just get out and run? sorry for all the questions l am interested in how others train.

@mcctin Dont wait around for someone else to do it with you! Grab the bull by the Horns and go for it! I am sure once you get to the event there will be plenty of people in the same position. Give it a go it's going to be so much fun!

i usually set the goal in stone by entering a race (i run long distance), this year i have entered a Warrior Dash 5km of obsitcals and a full marathon in July, also thinking about a half marathon in September. too much more than that & i dont' know if my body would cope i am already averaging running 40km per week which…

setting goals to achieve throughout the year are what keep me motivated. though sometimes i do find the road a long and lonely journey, but i guess these are just speed humps to keep us pushing forward and stronger in the long run.

i think we all have similar breakfast options. I love Uncle Toby's protein plus with soy or 30g of oats topped with 1/2 stewed apple and a tablespoon of low fat greek yoghurt which i let sit until the oats have soaked up all the water from the apple then eat. YUM

Your stunning love that smile. Everyones photos are so fun and beautiful

Now that takes talent! what a great pic, shows just how active you are.

Thats awesome! i am going to attempt my 2nd marathon in July this year, i hurt my calf in the last km of my first and so this year train a little smarter taking my long run to about 35km to 38km about 4weeks out from race day. and i also have the goal to go under 4hrs! i love the way finishing wither the 21km or the 42km…

I found it really interesting. Great information. I saved the link to favourites so i can really read and re read..:smile:

i have a garmin forerunner 110, love keeping track, uploading and seeing my routes on the computer.

have you tried health food stores? they sometimes have peanut butter that has no additives just peanuts, i use the woolworths home brang light about 160cal for 30g, which is still high but i love my peanut butter!!!!

i completed a beautiful 10k on bush tracks yesterday morning, even copped a bit of rain, but the smells of the bush are totally amazing, i love running outside. will be running again this afternoon will either do 7 or 12 km, not sure yet depending on the weather as if it does turn nasty i will head indoors to do a…

My first half marathon i put on 6kg, i relised that i was eating the wrong foods, muesli bars, too much dried fruit and nuts etc, i lost the 6kg plus another 7kg when i cut out all the so called healthy stuff.

nothing left on the agenday for 2011, but want to do my first triathalon in april and have already booked in for my second marathon in July.. Goal is sub 4hrs!

Breakfast is so important, if you dont have to cook breakfast buy a low fat cereal, set it out before you go to bed, then just add milk in the morning and eat, if you are rushing out to work, put it in a container and take it with you, either eat it on your way or when you get to work by adding milk then. If you have to…
