I'm taking part a little later in the month. I do shifts as a paramedic do needed to do it when I'm not working.y plan is to keep it pretty boring & plain - I spent 3 months in Borneo doing voluntary work & ate a lot of rice! They're my chosen charity. So it'll be porridge for brekkie, rice for lunch & probably something…

I'm taking part a little later in the month. I work shifts as a paramedic so needed to arrange it when I'm not working!! The recipe book is pretty good but as I'm doing it on my own I'm not going to be able to vary things much as you're supposed to buy the items as a whole. So, it's porridge for breakfast & rice for lunch!…

Poorly children & bad car crashes... Topped by poorly children IN bad car crashes...

I knew it..!!! ????

Well, after some deliberation, I have withdrawn my application. The long term fitness required for the four years secondment is quite daunting & I have decided that the increased risk of injury isn't worth it. I'm really happy that I did so well in the run & took 40 seconds off my previous attempt & I'm enjoying the biking…

Just noticed we're counting walking! I wrap a mile around my jog as warm up/cool down & to get to somewhere flat! Lol! Plus the walk into town is half a mile each way! May 1st - 0 May 2nd - 3.2 jog 2.0 walk Total - 5.2/100 miles.

It gets easier as eventually you'll just be jogging!! Lol! Good luck!

I added up my minutes jogging & walking & entered them as separate exercises then put C25k in the notes. :)

Another 8:51 mile today as part of my 5k run. I've got through to the next stage (just confirmation that I spelled my name right on the form!) so got some feedback forms to hand out to colleagues & should get to choose 1 of 3 days for the fitness test... Bring it on!!

Like lots of others, I laughed at the 'run 90 seconds' instruction & then promptly nearly died out there actually doing it! I haven't ever been a runner really but completed the C25k program about a week ago & I'm now running a comfortable 5k in about 31 minutes. I've started pushing the first mile as I'm applying for the…

I log the 30DS under circuit training - I feel it's an underestimate though because I really get a good workout! :)

First time I've tried one if these challenges, but hell yeah! Let's do it!! May 1st - 0 May 2nd -3.2 miles run (I'm running 5k at the mo!) 3.2/100 (Darn it I swam a mile on Monday!!)

Well done! I've just finished the Couch to 5k program but still only clocking 4.6k in my 30 minute run. I'm doing a 5k in May so hearing your story is great! :)

I've only got a couple of pounds to go before I reach my target weight. I started using MFP mainly to eat healthier and get fitter, so I didn't have much to lose in the first place. I have lost 10lb though so something works! Plus I'm feeling the benefit of getting fitter too. I'll be looking to maintain soon, so any new…

Today I ran my mile on damp grass & came in with a time of 8:52!! That'll do on the day but I know I've got a better one in me! This time I managed to follow it up with a 3 mile jog as per my Couch to 5k program. Now I feel EPIC!! 😃😃😃

Had to get a recommendation form signed by my boss. Needless to say he wasn't very supportive as 'they spent a lot of money training me to ride the bike...'. I told him I'm 99% sure I want to stay on the bikes - I just need to prove I could do the helicopter if I wanted. I don't think he's convinced though! Managers eh?!
