running with my running community. the moment your breathing settles down. the constant battle between quitting and carrying on. feeling the sweat drip down my face.

Thanks for that, I'm fine with what I want to do for the running side of it, it's the lifting side I'm wanting to focus on incorporating. My partner is a Physio and a long distance runner so I've got that in place. I wasn't detailing it all because that's not the part I needed any particular help with, I was hoping for…

Thanks guys. Loving all the advice it's really appreciated. I'm going to pull it together take the main themes that everybody has referred to because they seem to be key and then look into each individual comments and see what will work! I'm going to stick with the 4 runs a week because it fit in very well with my life but…

Awesome, thank you. I think that was my concern with my half training, I was so worried about sacrificing my speed because there's not much speed there in the first place! If I'm doing 4 a week though I can make sure I keep my split days onto my shorter run days which should balance well? Hopefully. I'll try and get my…

Thank you all so much for your input! I'll look into all your ideas and see what I can come up with. I think I'm just crazy trying to balance everything! I am a member of a gym so I can use the gym, I just don't want to spend 6 days a week there, so I think I'll try and go along with geebusuk on that one doing…

Ice and rest. I personally have never just sat and waited for them to stop completely because if you did that and they hurt just from brisk walking it will be a vicious cycle - you'll try a walk and it will hurt so you won't walk again for a week or so. Obviously I don't know what is right for you and your body but for me,…

0630 on a weekday weekend is no alarm but usually up before 0900

Hiya! I'm not 'sweating for the wedding' as such. Been on my fitness journey for a couple of years now so it's just keeping up with that but I am getting married on 16th January :)

I'm @Frankiifitness :)

Haha well this is pure guess work - Jim!

Hi! Good luck with your duathlon :) I used to suffer awfully with shin splints. Like you said, I found conflicting advice too. The biggest thing for me was having trainers that suited the way I ran, that helped hugely. Also, as the person above me said - strengthening of quad and hamstrings helps and stretching of calves.…

I use the Polar FT7 and no problems with it! I did T25 and have done Insanity too :)

^^^ This. Restricting your calorie intake to 750 cals a day is quite worrying. Don't associate food with 'guilt' and 'panic'. You need food to fuel your body, you wouldn't run a car on empty. x

Don't stop dancing just because you moved away. Find a new dance school. Don't study law. You know those few years where you let the world get on top of you? It makes you a better and stronger person - keep going. Trust your instincts on people, you're usually right. Don't doubt yourself, you've got this. Oh, stop eating…

Mine was a mix of both - it did bloat me significantly but it also increased my appetite which I fed! I was unhappy on it and so had it taken out. The weight will not fall off it will be extremely hard work. It might be worth weighing yourself, controlling portions and what you take into your body first before jumping to…

I LOVE WINE. :) :drinker:

Each to their own. Some people stand by clean eating, others do IIFYM. You need to see which works for you. Good luck :)

Just over 1lb a week is a good, sustainable weight loss. Don't give up on things because you don't get immediate results. Insanity might not make you lose the lbs on the scale but have you been measuring? How are your clothes fitting? Try and look at more than just the number on the scale because you're more than just a…

You know full well missy you shouldn't be lifting while you feel like you do! xxx

Nobody has ever looked at any piercings on my ear and commented about them in my profession. I work in the legal field x

Marley and Me. Actually the most distressing film I've ever seen in my life!

Thank you for your ideas :)

Lovely ideas thank you! The only one I can't really have is the nuts based ideas because of my boyfriend (he's severely allergic, all fun and games in our house! haha) x

Hiya, I have to take 3 a day and because of the type they are I need to take them throughout the day according to my GP. I take them after food because otherwise I get really bad stomach ache with them. I'm also English so it might be the type that I have that differ from yours/Australian types? Two GPs and the labels with…
