The advice I have been given with my various injuries including whiplash is: the first 48hrs rest, use alternating heat and ice packs as they reduce the swelling and increase blood flow to the area thus increasing healing, take anti-imflammatries like ibuprofen, then after that period exercise but carefully and gently .…

34, log every day, burn crazy amounts and generally have fun :smile:

An elephants heart, a 4 year old child or 20 bags of sugar………. I've got a way to go

Leeds, race for life at Temple Newsam.[/quote] Nice one :smile: Enjoy it hunni x

Hahaha just knowing the rules would be handy but breaking the rules is fun hahaha plus who wants to conform :smiley:

I lost the rulebook on dating and I like to know the rules before I break them :smiley:

Inspiration……… Hmmm not sure I can do that lol If it helps I'm a overweight, broken ex rugby player, asthmatic and generally a bit ouchy but I run (not fast but I move) Keep at it hun, a bit at a time and you'll get there. I've been running on and off (rugby injuries aren't conducive to a regular training plan) since 2009…

Hahaha nope it's union, the local league team are a combo of the teams in North Derbyshire and surrounding areas. I never enjoyed playing league, mainly due to the mega injury that I sustained in training, it's all about union here but am considering purchasing some pompoms for when I'm cheering my old team on :D

Don't buy any crappy veggie food and make your own. Get OCD with the golden rule: weigh, measure and don't over do the cheese mmmmmm cheese :smile: Also don't get dragged down the quorn route, if leave out the quorn you will end up using more veg and getting more flavour, vitamins, less calories and cheaper shopping bills…

Hahaha yeah the cheerleading is off putting to us northerners :# It's also a tad contagious lol

Hi Emma, I'm Emily from Chesterfield. Feel free to add me and have a gander on the Team UK forum group x

oooo I'm in, my munching is a nightmare

Oky coky hun, I've seen plenty of people with rotator cuff injuries (mainly through rugby) and it usually involves seeing a decent doctor. If it's not healed in 4 months then it's definitely a trip to see a specialist as it's likely to need some serious treatment. Sorry I don't want scare you but get yourself back to the…

Yummmmm I love real ale and fortunately for me we have loads of nice ale pubs run by small local breweries. Downside is they serve cheese from the local cheesemongers too, not really a downside but does up the calories on a visit lol

Glad you and your son are OK mate and hope you can get back to training soon after such a bad accident. Unfortunately no matter how many precautions are taken, unless other road users are as cautious then there is always the danger of being hit. Well done on ensuring you had a helmet on hun, I hope that you and your kids…

A fab wander in the Peak district and only getting held up by one group of ramblers (I'm in shock, it's usually soooo busy lol)……… oh and it was beautiful :)

Chesterfield, Derbyshire Have a nosey on Team UK in the forums, us Brits hang out there lol

Yes :) beautifully put hunni and the exercise really does alter your mindset to eat properly x

Walk. Get your baby in her pushchair, her changing bag and food too and go for a walk. It is the easiest thing to do, it will get the happy hormones popping round your brain, burn some calories and generally make you feel a little bit more like you :) x

Be happy :) Simple but makes everything else easier

Hello :) My road bike has been stuck in the cellar for the last few months; work, weather and a whole host of other excuses have managed to wipe out the whole reason I bought it: the sheer joy of cycling :) Hopefully the wind shall die down at some point so I can get back at it and enjoy the scenery and hills again

Green tea, black tea, liquorice tea……… Oh the list goes on, I love tea lol loose leaf is preferred but bags are convenient (ooo I sound snobby, I'm not really) but thats due to the different varieties around x

Wow you are all pretty awesome :smiley: So far I've signed up for the usual Bungay Half in Norfolk (UK), contemplating another one in North Lincs which gives out cake at the finish lol Sheffield Percy Pud 10k next December (they give you a xmas pud at the finish, I really do have food issues :smiley: ) I usually work at…

Half marathon training, I'm jealous (mine is on hold til the ice buggers off lol) Yep where is your race and how are you doing? I've got til April where I'll be heading off to the Norfolk countryside (UK) for the Bungay Half x

Hey hun I'm just over the border in Chesterfield :) I'm a runner but not a Tough Mudder lol feel free to add and good luck with the training x

Seek professional advise hunni. It could be anything from your shoes to weak hips, knees etc but the longer you leave it the more likely you are to injure yourself and injury sucks x

Awesome :)
