I have Brooks too, but as said above, ideally go to a specialist shop and get analysed to find the ideal shoes for you.

Mines taken in Snowdonia, mount Snowdon is behind my right shoulder. I've lost a lot of weight since this was taken and this pic reminds me what I used to look like before MFP

:laugh:

Yeah I'm in. My fastest 5k is 30:45 and I'll be happy with anything sub 30:00

I might be up for that, work permitting :smile: Sounds like a great idea

Thats great!! well done. I can remember how good I felt when I first did that. Keep it up :drinker:

Eggs!! Unless they're so mashed up in a cake or something that I dont even know that its there. I hate everything about em.

Have a look at c25k http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml It starts you off very gently and will give you a good idea of how far you can push yourself without overdoing it. Good luck

I used to use an armband for my iphone but it just didnt feel comfortable so I bought one you wear as a belt around your waist which I find is far better http://www.tunebelt.com/domino/tunebelt/tunebelt.nsf/ip2

Hi from Herts :smile: Have sent a request

lol , naked skydiving can have some strange effects. Try typing "naked skydiving" into youtube and watch the second one down :laugh: not safe for work and not for those easily offended :tongue:

Technically, running starts at a speed where you have both feet off the ground at some point in the stride :smile: I still have no idea where jogging stops and running starts though :laugh: I guess thats a little different for everyone.

What about this one? :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS-zK1S5Dws&feature=related Tubthumping by Chumbawamba

I cancelled my Gym membership as all I ever used was the treadmill and its much cheaper (and nicer) to run outside :)

Great list :) I wish I'd read that before I did c25k

I love running early in the morning. It kind of sets me up for the rest of the day

I'm not from Wales but my partner is. She comes from Llantrisant so I tend to spend a fair bit of time there. Its a lovely part of the world for sure :) Feel free to add me if you`d like some support

I found it impossible too, to the point where I stopped even tracking it. These days I tend to try and be sensible about it but I dont worry too much if its over.

Though to be fair, the broccoli is pretty toned :wink:

Not quite London, but pretty close. I'm in Hertfordshire :) Feel free to add me if you want a bit of support!

Terry and June .. its the catchiest tune ever :)

I damaged a calf muscle just after I finished c25k and had to stop running for 8 weeks before I could run again which was very frustrating. I was told by my physio that I was probably not warming up enough, especially stretching the muscles before running and also afterwards.This is now something I take extra care with and…

Hi and welcome from Hertfordshire :flowerforyou: I've sent a request :smile:

Another World of Warcraft player here :smile:

I'm currently running between 12-15 miles per week and I used to get bad shin splints. I found the below stretch worked wonders for me. Try doing it every day, and especially before and after running. Kneel on both knees with your bum over both heels and feet extended back. Slowly sit down on heels - or as far as you can…

+1 for this

Have a look at couch to 5k http://www.c25k.com I went from struggling to run for 3 minutes to running 5k every other day and when I started I was well into the obese catagory. Theres also usually plenty of groups starting c25k on MFP so perhaps you could join one of those as the support you get makes all the difference.…
