  • Hi Jon Did you get gait measured for your trainers? It sounds like a common runners problem (check out http://www.webmd.boots.com/fitness-exercise/guide/runners-knee for a quick overview). Despite me having measured shoes I have sometimes suffered as well, I suggest doing more core work and foam rolling your IT band and if…
  • This is the one I've got....haven't noticed it adding steps when I drive (used to drive 50 miles a day) http://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Wireless-Activity-Tracker-Charcoal/dp/B0095PZHZE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1396050091&sr=8-4&keywords=fitbit
  • It's not an app per say but me and my wife both use a Fitbit, the lower end only cost about £30. They then synch with your phone and you can even set it up to talk to MFP. We love them so much I even managed to get my mum using one.
  • My wife and myself both run and my (soon to be) 4 year old has asked us to enter him into a race, so whilst I run the MK Marathon my wife and the little one will be racing in the 1.5m Super Hero Race!!!! Does that prove the point?
  • Voted....and way to go, your looking trim compared to the other pic!
  • Sign up! I did London in 2012 unfortunately hurt my leg at mile 8 so had a rubbish time, but it was a TIME not a DNF so now it's time to get me a decent time!
  • Thanks for the replies guys, but like the impatient imp I am I didn't wait, just went ahead and booked it! 9 months to get back in shape...... I can do it......I hope.....
  • I just used cheap but good socks by karimore and found that they worked fine. I tried the Nike dry fits but found them to thin, I was wearing the thicker karimoress when I brought my trainers. They retail in the UK for about a fiver in sports soccer

  • Its a common problem, Runners trots. There is alot of advice on the Runners world site http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/default.asp?v=1 In the forums and in the articles. Just search for it and you might find something that will work for you. Chris
  • Thursday- running my first half marathon (running for pie)! Friday-depending on how I feel....60 minutes cross or run easy 3 Running for Pie? Where's that? From experience you might want to turn Friday into a rest day. Good Luck for Thursday!!!!! Chris
  • Downloaded the Rock one a few days ago, tried it tonight, decent mix!! Thanks for the heads up! Chris
  • How long after your breakfast do you workout? Might be worth putting a snack in about an hour before doing your workout. Just remember to keep it healthy rather than a chocolate.
  • Hey, I'm down in Wiltshire, any body else?

  • Most of the timings are up to you, I work out at different times of the day depending on what else I have on. With the weighing pick a time and stick to that same time, that way you will cut out the variables.
  • My work sometimes involves alot of running about for a day (waiting tables for 10 hours), the way I log it is put in slow walking, 2mph and then 1/4 of the time that Ive been doing it. My reconking is that I do run about but there is a lot of pauses in there as well. I also have the other part of my job (kitchen Manager)…
