been really tired today I think I have pushed myself hard the last two runs and because I dont want to take a rest day yet I took it easier today and only did a mile I know it seems daft I run so much less than any of u but for me this month has been a huge deal but im determined to get stronger and I will push harder…

Another good run today apart from almost tripping and falling over which would have been so embarrassing not going to up my target anymore as so close to the end of july I will just see how far I can go past my target and that will be my starting point for aug

My best jog to date yes I was slow but I ran more than I walked for the first time ever and even tho I was slow I managed to shave 1min off my time I got into a good rhythm my legs now ache but in a good way I know I have pushed myself hard today but im proud of that and I am easily on target to hit 20miles to think I will…

First ever night run and to be honest it freaked me out a little the park I usually run was really poorly lit so come winter I need to consider diff running routes on plus side I was slow but developed a great running pace and ran further than ever before

Ty it was pretty big op and I had been ill beforehand and got a lovely infection afterwards just to add to aggro lol the life of a crohnie never runs smooth

My weight loss was helped a lot by losing the entirity of my large bowel in april so altho I sound impressive being so ill is what got me so far so quickly but yeah im not gonna do anything silly like give up im here to stay and just gonna stick to my kcals till I can make it thro and start seeing weight loss again ty all…

Much needed rest day tomorrow

Im just wondering how long is a couple of weeks? As I have been at it just shy of 2 weeks and the most I manage for now 2.1miles which is not quite 4k so perhaps u are pushing too hard? Also I still walk parts of mine as well as the run rememeber if u arnt doing somethjng like the c25k (personally I am not) you have to…

I am a runner in the loosest sense of the word only started 11days ago and never run before that so the most I manage is 2mile s at a go and even then its a mix of running and brisk walking to keep my heart rate up but im getting better feel free to add im currently in the july running group and contribute daily

Have to agree u have to track whatnu are eating to ensure that one u are not eating too much and too are not eating too little which can also mess with u in terms of the degree of exercise u are doing weighing and measuring ur food isnt as hard as it seems and worth it for results Also remember this hormones water intake…

Great idea but u should post before anc after pics nothing like seeing the undeniable evidence as well as a comparison to really motivate u

Genuinely hard day again got a stitch on mile 2 but walked thro it had to really drag myself round on second mile but I did it showed im commited but as a result I was slower today hoping I might pick up tomorrow after 2 tough days if not taking a rest day on tuesday and hopefully a little recovery time will help my body…

No idea but interested to see answers

Ty im glad I listened as still feel a little unsteady even now I have actually already hit my goal as I started this group a bit late so only set a target of 10miles which is a big deal for someone like me but already hit that and going for 15 but thanks for the boost

Disappointed in myself today only managed 1mile the heat was just too much felt ill I was scared of fainting my crohns means I dehydrate easy so I didnt trust myself to tackle 2 mile nd get home will maybe try again later cant help but feel like I let myself down tho the only plus point is I shaved 1min off my usual time

Love this thread all thr pics of patrick I loved him dirty dancing is my fave and tu wong foo love ms vida

Wow 22miles best of luck im too cowardly for thst moving mine up to 15

Gonna add on another 5 miles but definate improvement in a really short time

Any cds u guys advise rather than putting together my own compilation as with two little ones dont have loads of time

The reason they suggest not skipping brekkie is to avoid getting hungry a little later and snacking thus taking u over on kcals but actually as long as u stick to your kcal count it dont matter how u do it whether it is one or ten meals a day the important thing is to create a body deficit so if ur not a breakfast person…

Gutted not available in uk

Did need yesterdays rest ty for advice and so today I was a bit silly as i felt good so instead of the small increments I was advised on here I decided to go for a second mile and I did it and still feel great I didnt listen to the voice in my head as I was jogging as that was moaning I couldnt do anymore but in my walks…

Hey im julie and as im coming into this a bit late in the thread altho I would love to be gryffindor but I will take whatever house there is any room left Damn so beyond gutted I missed it

Firstly thanks to all of u who have replied to my endless silly questions and the advice is all brillant and I will try to take everything on board to help me improve But thanks esp to davis for her message it helped I did take my rest day yesterday as I was simply too exhausted and hot to do myself justice but I know im…

Of course its a workout but defo consider adding in some of the extra options others have mentioned but dont beat urself up u are doing great working and still using the little bit of rest time u have to do anything like that shows commitment and will be the reasonnu reach ur goal

Moderation as I love my junk food I try usually to eat something naughty but within my kcals however something like a costa creamy cooler does usually put me over yes sometimes I feel a little guilty but if u intend to make this a lifestyle choice something for life then u have to get used to moderation as I refuse to…

Heya have u checked out amazon? As the reviews on there all seem really positive and look on youtube usually they have sections of the dvd so u can get an idea if its right for u have to say it looks good I might pick it up myself

Ur totally normal just unfit like me I started running 7 days ago I jog a mile but I do just as much if not more brisk walking as I do jogging but stick with it and like me u will notice small improvements in your recovery and the length of time u can jog for but there is no quick fix u just have to plug away and keep on…

Ty it is day 2 of mine and stomach is tender as for taking a rest day I think its gonna take time to listen to my body as I have to work out between whether I need a rest or just want to get out of doing the run the idea of going out and running is just worse than actually going out and doing it and it takes a lot to push…

So its day 6 of running and have some more questions (sorry) firstly when do you guys take rest day if u actually do? because its such early days im scared of taking a rest day as it might be doubly hard the following day and also worried I will lose the bottle to keep at this Secondly just for the lady runners its my ToM…
