It's not true that two runners at the same weight but different fitness will burn the same calories. Imagine two identical cars, one with slightly deflated tyres. One will burn more fuel because it's less efficient.

Running is good for you, but I can say from personal experience it cannot be relied on for weight loss. I lost over 100lbs, found I could run and loved it. I stopped watching my diet and despite running 40 miles per week gained over 40 lbs. I am now losing the weight again so that I can run better, not running to lose the…

Harsh b!

I'd be wary. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2270663/Claire-Squires-London-marathon-runner-died-heart-attack-taking-sports-supplement-Jack3D.html

Looking at typical UK prices that seems excessive unless you shop at Harrods!

Brueton http://www.parkrun.org.uk/brueton/ Plan to do Cannon Hill also, but way off my best form at the moment.

Spot on. It's not the words, it's the intent.

The OP didn't ask that. Are you trying to minimise everyone's achievements?

All these replies smacks of green eyed monster lol. Yes I'm an old guy who can talk but lol

That's sexy as hell! Sorry!

Yeah, fruit is bad. We all got fat eating fruit!

The statement "muscle weighs more than fat" is not incorrect. You can make it sound wrong by saying "a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle", but you can also interpret it as "a cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch of fat". It's just how you interpret it. Basically stop being pedantic. Everyone…

repmirs: Bully for you. Why reply on this thread? So you don't drink. Well done you.

Everyone who runs is awesome! Great job.

If you can do it then go for it. Listen to your body. If you get aches and pains then back off, if not then carry on.

Lack of discipline is what's wrong with this world! Sorry!

Eat stop eat is not convoluted. It does not replace eating right and exercising hard, it complements them.

Here's a comic joking about the thigh gap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDsdNjhE0Y8

People who say "never cheat" are just not being realistic. We can't all be pillars of virtue.

40 when my first and only child was born. That was my kick up the backside to get in shape.

Don't be afraid to fire the customer!

I found the formula online which I tested and found it worked. The last part of the equation subtracts 11 points from the total. My guess is that this 11 points accounts for the 49 weekly points and fruit and veg. Therefore they are allowing 4 points for fruit and veg which is around 160 calories. Many people will eat more…

Fresh cream. Prefer the synthetic stuff that is probably even worse for you!

I'd only been running a few months at the time so plenty of room for improvement! Also I was nearing the end of my weight loss back then and did the recent PR at about 16 lbs lighter.

My first last year was 27:21. My recent PR is 21:37. Would love to go sub 20, but it won't be any time soon!

It makes perfect sense. Go for it.

Bump for later, thanks.

Why make this a gender issue?
