Aaah the age old breathing question! It took me AGES to get this sorted - but you will find the right pace and breathing for you. I have found it and once I am in the zone it works for me. I do make quite a lot of noise though!! There is no right and wrong way to breathe - you'll find it. Best of luck!

I'm over too most days. Mostly due to fruit. I don't worry about it too much.

You should definately rest tomorrow - firstly because you have just returned to running and secondly because you should do that anyways!! Great work on your run though!

Just bought a Polar FT7 and have been gutted that the cals are so low compared to my free app - guess there is a reason why it was free! Can't help with the comparison thing - although it is interesting! Hope you get some more constructive responses..............sorry!

Welcome! It may help people support you if you open your profile and write some info on there about yourself. If you are looking for friends it helps for us to know something about you. Just a suggestion!! . Have a look at my profile and 'friend request' me if you think we can support each other. Congrats on your wedding -…

Thanks so much for all that. Can I just check then - if my maintenance cals are 1900 and I walked for 62 mins I would do the following calculation: 1900 / 24 / 60 = 1.32 1.32 x 62 = 81.84 201 - 81.84 = 119.16 calories burned. Is that correct?? My head hurts now!!

Oh dear..................are you drinking plenty of water to counteract the sodium?

Good question! How do I find that out - other than read the instructions!! haha

Thanks Pal. I was thinking that and as I am going to running club tonight I will soon find out....................I will feed back later! have a great day Emma. x

You look like a different person - great job!

Simple - MFP!!! That is all you need.

I definately agree with this. If I run on consecutive days I get shin splints - swimming is a great in between exercise. Great work on your running though!

Sorry to hear you are stuck! If you were to share your diary we could have a closer look at what you're eating - why don't you consider that?? Extra water and different exercise will help. I mixed it up a bit and went swimming last week and I lost 3 lbs. I am sure things will start moving soon. Good luck and keep it up!…

That's what I was thinking.....let us see what you are eating and we can help........................

Thanks everyone - I have finally bought ..............................the Polar FT7!! Whoppee.

Thanks so much for all this great advice and the time that you give putting it on here. You are all great!

Oooh thanks - does it have a chest strap?

Almost.....South Somerset! Feel free to 'friend request' me if you like the look of my profile. Best of luck! Alison

Hi there - you can add me as a friend if you want - I have 2 daughters that started uni last September (at the same time) so I know how you will be feeling later this year. I am sure you will do great on here with all the support and advice. Best of luck. Alison

I did a 10k today and it felt like the worst run I have ever done because of the heat!! Make sure you have plenty of water before and during in these warmer runs. Keep trying - you can do it!!

Hi there Feel free to go ahead and add me as a friend. Take a look at my profile and you will see that I love running too! All the best with your progress. Alison

Wow that's fantastic. What a great motivation for you..................and the rest of us!!

Hi Happy to motivate you if you want to add me as a friend. Take a look at my profile and we can motivate each other. Loads of luck on your journey - you can get your mojo back!! Alison x

Thanks everyone...looks like straight water is the winner!!

Hi I have a subscription to this magazine. There is also a website that is free to join where you can get advice and tips. Similar to MFP but dedicated to women who run. Not sure if we are allowed to recommend other web-sites!! Oooops! Anyway I agree with the other comments about one long run and one or two shorter ones…

You must be`doing great stretching. WTG!!

Looking hot! Hope the training is going well for your run.

This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of this as I do 2 runs a week in the evening and find it hard to eat them before I exercise ....just in case I don't get to run!! Oh what's a girl to do???!!!

Hello right back at you too FRIEND!!
