Hey everyone, love running. Been on and off over the years, done a few races inc. 1/2 marathon. Always good to have the motivation from other runners. I'll send FRs.

Hey, running always sounds like good fun, sent you a FR.

Thanks everyone, it's why this (mfp) is so good! I really appreciate the support and advice you get from everyone all over the world!. Some great advice - don't look back! Tom

Thanks everyone, *kitten* well and truely kicked! Its the good thing about MFP, the support and motivation you get from other people really helps. Keep up the great work. You all having amazing results by the looks of it - very inspiring!:smile: Tom

I would agree with Neil. i did a similar schedule to the c25 a few years ago. the hardest bit is getting going, once you do however there is no stopping you. And the with schedule you make progress really quickly. Once you think youve cracked it get some proper shoes though - you will need them Tom

From Bucks, feel free to me!

Hi all, sounds good to me. Running is great - I have been running on and off for a number of years and I keep coming back to it. Love my long Sunday run the best. Tom

Half Marathon is good - I did the Great North Run (UK) a couple of years ago - amazing! I wouldn't worry about the carb loading until perhaps the day before the race. If you are running upto 10/12 miles in training towards the end - take some energy gels with you - they tend to get you round okay - they taste pretty awful…

Hey, Good luck. Its essentially when you stock up on carbs the day before big race. It stops you hitting 'the wall' as it stores energy that can be released quickly when doing a lot of exercise. I wouldnt do it all the time as it just means eating loads of carbs. so for example before a marathon or half marathon they often…

Hey there, Good luck but by the looks of it I would say 31lbs is a flying start - hearing you about the healthy bit!. watc??? (sorry i am a bit slow)

That sounds familiar - I'm kind of doing the same.

Agree with everyone here. Go to a specialist store and they will sort you out. Everyone is different. I used mizuno - they were great never had a blister with them. I have asics now and I just don't get on with them, whereas I know loads of people who swear by them.

You can add me - I've got about the same to lose so should, in theory, finish at around the same time

Sounds very familiar, add me if you like - Good luck!

Hi I am back here again after a couple of times falling of the wagon. I figure I need some support as I ended up having McDonalds yesterday - which was really stupid - two steps forward and one back! feel free to add me.

Your doing better than me! Feel free to add me I need all the help I can get to stay motivated - old habits creeping back in.

Plain with tomato, mozerella and prawns/crayfish/smoked salmon ... oh and fresh crusty white bread :)

You can add me, kind of new (been here before a couple of times) and to honest need some motivation to keep it going

and I'll be doing another 900 tomorrow

I can beat that, yesterday - A McDonalds Big Tasty, large fries and large coke - 1500 calories over for the day! just burnt 900 cals in the gym to make up for it.
