  • Ran my first 10k race on 20th October (Worthing 10k). Finished in 55:40 beating my previous best time (training run) by over 4 minutes. Considering there was a brutal head wind for the first 3 miles I was very happy with the result.

  • Completed my first Tilgate Parkrun 5k in September 2012 in 39:56 having never done any running before then. My current PB for the same course is 27:23. Last weekend ran my first non Parkrun race, the Brighton Trailblazer. It's not quite 10k (5.84 miles by my Garmin) and is a hilly trail race. Came in by my Garmin at 58:39…

  • I had 4 vintage dresses in my wardrobe that had fitted me some years ago but not for a while. I couldn't bare to give them to a charity shop so had them hung in my spare bedroom where I exercise as motivation. Last week all 4 dresses fitted me. Now I am motivated to keep the weight off and continue toning so they continue…

  • Jogged/walked my first 5K back in September with no training of any kind in 39:56. Fast forward to 2 days ago when I finally managed to continuously run 5K for the first time in 31:25. Many congratulations on a really great time on your first race.

  • I took part in my first 5K (Tilgate Parkrun) in September last year having done no training whatsoever (I know, pretty stupid). As my fast walk was 4 miles per hour I hoped that I could complete the course in 45 minutes. Having half jogged, half walked I came in at just a few seconds short of 40 minutes for the first…
    in First 5K Good goal for my finish time? Comment by miniosiris February 2013
  • I hadn't run for a long time but walked regularly. September last year a work colleague introduced me to Parkrun, a 5K run in a park local to me each Saturday. I though I would give it a go hoping that if I got round it would be in under 45 minutes expecting that I would be mostly walking the distance, a 15 minute mile…

  • My current breakfast is 1 Quorn sausage, 1 large egg scrambled in the microwave and 5g of low salt/sugar brown sauce. If I pre cook the sausages and store in the fridge I can prepare it all in 2 minutes. 166 calories, 8g carbs, 9g fats and 13g protein. That's less calories than my previous cereal breakfast, a quarter of…
    in What's for your protein breakfast? Comment by miniosiris February 2013
  • I was having this issue with protein when eating cereal for breakfast. I am also vegetarian. I now batch cook a weeks worth of Quorn sausages and store them in the fridge. It takes 1 minute to warm a precooked sausage up in the microwave and another 45 seconds to scramble an egg also in the microwave in a morning. This…
