Oh and also the shin pain has gone with a couple of days rest :-) happy days!

Aha so my run this morning. I followed the advice to shorten my stride and run the whole run with a mid foot/ ball of foot landing. It felt totally natural once I shortened my stride and actually felt better than heel striking, kind of easier. So I am jolly pleased :-)

Fabulous!! :-)

Yay!!! Fab work beautiful girl :-)

I actually thought I had a moment of thinking I had it cracked!!! I'm sure I'm going to laugh at myself a lot on my running journey. Thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate it. I never thought I would be a runner!!

Yea I can see that might happen, I'm going to get on the treadmill tommorrow and see how it all feels. Shortening my stride might help a lot. This running business is more complicated than I ever thought!! :-)

Ohhh... I need to look these things up! Thanks for the vids, I'm going to practice changing my form :-)

You can only use one or the other. I noticed this with my fitbit, it is connected to mfp so automatically puts in the calories for me. So I do not need to enter the ones from my HRM. interestingly though, the calories are very similar on both my HRM and fitbit even when I've been running not walking so I'm not sure what…

You are awesome... Great advice :D

Ah thanks trivard, I shall rest it for a couple of days and see. I certainly don't want to make it worse for sure :-)

Yea I think it looks fine without i just wondered if it was a thing!! :-)

HAAAAA I think I just weed in my pants laughing!!! God you're toooo funny :-)

Yes I'm not increasing to much at the moment but I did speed up and I think that might be the culprit!

You tube is so great right!! So I found this little running drill to help me with learning to land on my mid foot rather than heel strike! Thanks guys for all your help... I learn something every day on this forum

Yes I might get some :-)

Also... While I'm asking... Is it ok to run with shin splints? Like I say I only have a slight pain in my right shin at the moment. I did weights today and didn't run because I ran yesterday and will be at work tommorrow so will run the day after in the morning. I work shifts so tend to get to the gym on my days off which…

Oh also xsmile I run on a treadmill at the moment but I'm going to try and start doing some park runs 5 k as they run some in my area on a Sunday. I'm wondering how different it's going to be running outdoors. I've also found a shoe shop nearby that does gait analysis so I'm going to go and splash my dollars!!

Thanks you two THATS great advice. Yes I'm a heel striker!!! So I'm going to check out those videos. And yes I am going to get fitted for shoes... I do have a nice expensive pair but they weren't fitted with gait analysis so I am defiantly going to do that because I have become a runner!!!! Omg how did that happen! I am…

Hi Jennifer I am vegetarian too and love it :-) I don't know how you go with your vegetarian diet but I'm guessing that as you are eating 10 cups of popcorn a day it could be a little better perhaps? First of all I think that calorie amount is way too low. Look up some threads on here about TDEE, NEAT etc and up those…

Totally! No one else notices you... Well done... Keep going x

Hi, I'm in brisvegas!! Add me! I'm not sure how to do it lol

More for the front than the back maybe ;-)

Yea, longer line t shirts might be good :-)

So it's not a total no no... I generally just wear normal leggings without shorts... I wondered if compression ones have different rules! :-)

But the Jane Fonda look is super cute!!!! :-)

*kitten* us Aussies have to be a bit tough huh!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery

In the meantime... What do people think of compression calf sleeves?

Lol I'm sure it's fine!! :-)

Read everything on this forum, all the stickys and what not and just start :-)

^^ yep, what she said. You look great. Lifting some weights would make you look amazing, but you already look great. And yes... Slender :-)
