Happy Tuesday xx

super i signed up for my first 5k so i have something to aim for !

i did it got back on it at week 4 and was fine will move onto week 5 next week !!! no pain and the shoes were worth the money !!!

i log all drinks apart from alcohol as my water for the day as even though tea and coffee make you pass water more they still count towards your daily intake. I drink coffee non stop all day and i am never de hydrated :smile:

hello ladies i have a new pair of specially fitted running shoes to suit my funky feet so i am back on the wagon as of monday i am hoping to kick off where i left off as i have kept up my cardio at the gym excited to post on monday xx

Happy Tuesday !! belated i know lol, but i am getting new shoes this week then back to the running next week yay !!!

i usually eat about 80% of my exercise cals back as you are already at a calorie defecit before exercise and you need to fuel basic functions of the body or your body will burn the muscle not the fat as it's quicker for fuel. alot of people have opinions about this and you need to find what's best for you

that's ok at least it's still inspiring even if it goes up day late or even a week late. i try to post them in the morning where i am so that it should be lunchtime ish in new zeland and ready for you girls across the pond when you all get up !! Charlotte :wink:

get a towel or a resistance band if you have one, sit on the floor with your back straight and legs straight out in front of you. loop the band around both or one foot at a time and straighten your foot out so that it's pointing in front of you, and at the same time keep a tight grip on the towel/band to create some…

I am hoping to be back to running in june as i am awaiting a court payout from a lawsuit then woohoo!! new shoes & running !! might start back at week 4 if not then 3 we'll see how it goes but i am determined to finish this ladies !!

happy Tuesday xx

i had my gait and stride analysed and until i can afford new shoes or orthopaedic inserts for my current shoes i can't run as it could damage my right leg as it lands rolled in then rolls in some more :ohwell: so will continue at the gym doing cardio and strength days until the money fairy visits

compression socks or those designed for running as they have extra padding in the balls and heels and won't wear as quick !

i have been alternating between weights and cardio at the gym so i am achy and shattered all in one hahaha!!, hoping to get back to it next week !!

i got half way through week 4 day 2 and had to stop after the first 5 min run, my shins were screaming in agony and i was at the same pace as monday. I spoke to the fitness instructor at the gym and she recommended taking a week off and focus on exercises to build the tibial muscles & seeing how it goes and to see my local…

i agree with the above person. i don't eat all my exercise calories back ,but about 80% as MFP can over estimate the amount of calories burnt doing exercise

Happy Tuesday xx

your BMR is the amount of calories your body requires to function if you did NOTHING, your TDEE ( total daily energy expenditure ) is the amount you require to maintain your current weight, you minus the calories from the TDEE not the BMR

I did week 4 day 1 today on a treadmill and i powered through it, i did weeks 1-3 outside on pavement and that was harder, my only problem was i had shin pain when i was doing the walking intervals but not during the jogging intervals. i know it will kill me going back to the pavement though lol

Week 4 Day 1 is done, I did it on a treadmill today and it was much easier !!!! but i had shin pain again, I didn't have it last week running outside !! I am on a trial gym membership at the moment 5 days for £5 and i have access to the gym, swimming and spa, so guess where I am going tomorrow after the gym lol Keep going…

finished week 3 today and my knee is feeling good !!!! going to move onto week 4 next week although i am dreading it as i am still struggling a little with the 3 min runs and have to 5 mi runs as well next week !!! keep going girls we are doing great !!

go to the doctor you may have stress fractures, if you don;t then at least you'll know !!

I had a look through many running websites at all their knee pain articles etc and it looks like where my feet roll inwards it strains the joint so a support is recommended, i'll see how i go and may go to the doctor if it doesn't improve or gets worse

did week 3 day 2 today was a bit miserable weather wise and windy but i got out there, got a blister from my new trainers but it didn't hurt that much. slightly better today although i think i need a knee support as my right knee is aching still and after doing a bit of research i think that would be best i may stick on…

was supposed to do a run today but the weather was terrible, heavy rain and wind and my sis is recuperating at my house so i couldn't even run indoors like last time so hopefully tomorrow will be the day, and my new running shoes arrived today :happy: can't wait to test them out !!

today's inspiration ladies, Keep running !!! :happy:

~ what was the last thing (no matter how small) you purchased? - a sleep mask and ear plugs & some cooling gel patches ~ what can you hear right now? - Roadworks outside my house ~ what you you doing and what should you be doing instead? - I am sat on MFP when i should be doing housework !!

I just started week 3 today and i thought run for 3 mins yeah right, but i did it and it's such a rush when you do complete a day good luck to everyone already on their journey and all those just starting!!!
