  • I ordered mine last night, bit of a wait to receive it! I've never owned anything like it before, so hopefully it is worth the money! If anyone is interested in buying one feel free to go through: https://moov.cc/getmoov/2A887196E7. You get $5 for every person that you refer.

  • I tried my first one today, the "PHD Diet Whey: Belgian Chocolate", which is meant to be one of the nice ones. It was rank! Took my over half an hour to finish it. Some people will always say they are not worth it, but I suppose they are worth a try. I found that since increasing my protein intake that I am less hungry…

  • I can't speak highly enough of c25k. It is a great introduction to running, and has got me addicted to running. I'm now training for a half marathon. The jump from 8 minutes to 20 is daunting, but definitely achievable. The best advice is to run slow! You'll pick up pace as the weeks go on.
    in C25K? Want to start running. Comment by John1610 October 2013
  • yeah I remember thinking having to run for 2 minutes was completely daunting, but as long as you take it a step at a time then any distance is achievable!
    in Started out with couch to 5k.. Comment by John1610 October 2013
  • No I definitely want to lose weight. I've got a bit of a fat belly/moobs so I'm looking to slim. I'm enjoying the program so I am liking the idea of losing further weight though improving my running. Because I am small I think I would look ridiculous if I was bulky lol. I'll just continue eating properly and exercising,…
    in Ignoring measuring myself weekly... Comment by John1610 September 2013
  • well done! there are 10k programs on the BUPA website, which also have them tailored to beginner, intermediate and advanced runners I'm sure. I'm planning on following a free one from the runkeeper app, which you can access from their website if you do not have a smartphone.
    in What next? Comment by John1610 September 2013
  • If you have a treadmill you should start the "couch to 5k" progamme, you can download the podcasts from http://www.nhs.uk/livewell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx. But it is much more fun to do outdoors! Sticking to a set prorgamme has kept my interest and stopped me from getting bored.

    in Is there any apps available that help keep a certain pace? Comment by John1610 August 2013
  • I experimented with some of the apps and found that "runkeeper" was best. Runkeeper allowed me to create my own exercise plans with intervals, such as "run for 60 secs, walk for 90 secs" etc, to ensure you are sticking to your plan. It also tracks distance ran, average pace and calories burned, although the calories burned…
    in C25K - How can I add it to my exercise diary?? Comment by John1610 August 2013
  • I lost a lot of weight last summer from cycling, then my bike broke and I've not got round to fixing it! I also found that cycling is a lot more fun than just jogging/other cardio because you can go further, see lots of places etc, therefore you are more likely to continue due to the fact you enjoy it! good luck
    in Anyone actually lost weight while biking? Comment by John1610 August 2013
  • thanks for the advice, I'l definitely stick to c25k!
    in Should I ditch this program for HIIT? Comment by John1610 August 2013
