Don't do it! I had the same thing when I used to do gymnastics, had to stay off my feet for months and have physio when it finally went bad after landing funny from a gym element. Could hardly walk up stairs and was a nightmare to find shoes for school. I would rest up and do gentle stretches for the Achilles area if I…

Nice one thanks, I don't have a hrm but I'll take it a but easier and increase a few percent a wk. Originally I was running Monday Wednesday and Friday in the morning and fasted. Tues Thursday Saturday and Sunday I go to the gym and most likely do cross training then weights. This week I wanted to try fasted morning…

youve really explained this perfectly, i've just starting to run outside again (only 20mins on a morning x4-5/wk) but want to increase milage on a weekend, it would be amazing to run 90mins non-stop! my record so far has been 10k in 1hour 6mins. I was going to run 3 miles tomorrow at my normal pace ~10min/mile but don't…

Thank you :)

I'm down to the last 4lbs.......... so annoying!!! I've started running every other day early morning and fasted to try to get rid, but im also a couple of months into strength training so if I stay the same weight but CHANGE my body composition i'll be very happy too. I wanted to lose around 4-5% body fat while keeping my…

Welcome to mfp! Strength training is an exercise also found in the cardio database, just search as you normally would. I never track using the strength training part, I think that's only to track your weights week to week like a diary. Alternatively when you go to add cardio you can go right to the bottom of the page and…

I love fitspo! Really gets me raring to go to the gym and inspires me to eat better too and try new things.

That happened to me yesterday, ended up going to the pub and having pie and mash (that wasn't even that good).. I went over by about 400-500cals. I felt so guilty that I ended up doing jumping jacks and running on the spot for over an hour while watching a film until 10.45pm. According to mfp I ended the day under my cal…

Thank you!

I did the BUPA beginners 5k program and found that very useful, same sort of thing as C25K i guess. I would also say dont give up! stick at it and make the program a part of your normal week so it becomes a routine. And I echo the comment suggesting weights, i started running a year ago but only started weights a couple of…

im 5ft1" and around 110lb (50kg) i started lifting about 2months or so ago and found this workout schedule from the livestrong website. http://www.livestrong.com/article/112472-day-workout-plan-women/ Its been really good for me so far (although i dont follow the 5th day as I go to the gym 4 times a week) I can feel myself…

Hey I'm 5ft1" 25 yr old, I started off around 117 lb, I originally wanted to get down to 110 but when I reached that goal I found I still wasn't quite happy with my body. I bought some calipers and have been trying to lose another 4lb while doing weight training to keep up my muscle mass. It's been very hard for me to lose…

I thought it was an interesting question lol

At first i thought you would maintain no matter if you ate 2000 cals of lard or fruit of veg, but, I have no idea whether I'm right or not here but I've had a think and doesn't it depend on how much energy you get from 2000cals worth of lard compared to 2000cals from fruit and veg? So like, the quality of the cal? Saying…

definately trying these out, they look great, thanks!

So bizarre I was just about to post asking about these running shoes I'm really intrigued. But after reading robs post I'm worried! I had tendinitis in my heel a long time ago but I haven't forgotten the terrible pain! I've only seen them online, I'd like to try some on before I part with my cash, does anyone know of any…

I prefer the taste of white tea, I've just got some white tea with lemon and its delicious. Plus white tea has more antioxidant and anti-freeradical qualities than green or black tea because there is less processing of the leaves so really white tea is the best for you. However there is still caffeine in teas so if u want…

Hey I followed a bupa 5k program last summer and thought it was really good, the program was 8 weeks I think, I did the beginners schedule. Then I did the beginners 10k program via the bupa website as well, again 8week schedule I think, also found this to be a good program, never thought I would have been able to run 10k…

Hi Everyone, thanks for making this group! I 've been knitting almost 4yrs now and im totally hooked. I tried crochet first but it didnt really stick with me. I like instant knits so baby clothing is great (lucky for me i know of 2 mum-to-be's so thats kept me busy), but i have knitted my own jumper and cardis. I also have…

that sounds great, much better going to an actual wool shop rather than ordering on the net. I want to go round all the wool shops in london soon when i have saved up some money. I'm hoping to open an etsy shop in the next couple of wks starting off with baby socks/hats/jumpers so I will need to invest in some beautiful…

i wish i had bigger hips just to even out my shoulders a tiny bit..

Aw this is awesome! thanks for joining me! I have my second day of the bupa program tonight 15mins run 1-2 mins walk then 15mins run, its hard to get the motivation but i know i will feel good afterwards. Problem is that I'm still sore from wednesday! Thats what having christmas off does to ya!
-
Thats great! I would run outside but I get back from work quite late and its a bit too cold and dark for me plus I'm paying for the gymso I want to get my moneys worth! Do you have any races lined up? How many times a week are you planning to run?
-
I've had the same thing, I think its when I eat tomatoes or maybe other acidic food, even though i try and leave a couple of hours after eating before going to the gym it still happens. I've been trying to not have any food that might aggravate it at all during gym days. And also drinking lots of water to try neutralise…
-
Yeah this is the sort of thing I'm doing at the moment so my cals are about right to maintain throughout the wk. I try not to get hung up on daily cals. Plus I don't log one day from thr wkend now and eat what I like that day, I don't want to be logging all my food for the rest of my life!
-
am i right in thinking the elliptical machine is a cross trainer? if it is I LOVE going on that! My buns are loving me for it! Plus the one in the gym has an aerobics setting where it tells you to push, pull go forwards/backwards and go faster or slower. I always work up a sweat on it working from 10 mins to 30mins. I also…
-
Im in the same boat. I find it hard to eat back my cals after my works outs that are around an hour long 3 times a wk burning around 300-400 cals each time. My boyfriend reckons im doing a "slow cut" and i think hes a bit worried about me losing too much weight. But at the moment im hovering around 49-50kg (I;m 5'1"). I…

I've had something similar to your feet issue but on the tops of my thighs after running in hot weather, the little bumps look like nettle rash and they are very itchy until i have a cool shower, ive never broken the skin, i just presumed it was some sort of sweat/heat rash? My boyfriend also gets the same sort of thing on…

I have had tendonitis in my heel when i was about 14 while doing alot of gymnastics, i feel very sorry for you! The pain was totally unbearable for me esspecially when trying to walk down stairs first thing on a morning. I had quite a lot of physio for a few months i think, a cheaper way of getting arch supports is to buy…
