Yep he's right. Perfectly normal to rotate shoes to make them last longer and supposedly allow the soles to recover. I have 3 pairs I rotate plus a pair of trail shoes and a race pair. I get about 350miles out of a normal pair and 150-200 out of my race pair.

I'm sort of training for a half marathon. Got one in 2 weeks time and then on 8th march but they are more a case of something to run in while marathon training for Paris in April. What do all your plans you are following have you doing for an average week? Never really followed a half marathon specific plan so i;m…

Nope not a typo. I don't wear a lot of white clothing so struggle to make enough white washing on my own to warrant putting the washing machine on so compensate by having lots of socks to make up a load. Plus I live in jeans and shirts for work so tend to wear them as everyday socks also. Also remember trainer socks for…

That is an awesome Idea!!!! I will be doing that for sure as a housemate of mine commented on the fact I only seem to wear the same few T-shirts all the time and I decided it is probably because they are just the ones on the top.

You really want to know? I really have so much it's crazy. I pack away most of it depending on season as I just don't have room for all of it to be out all the time 12 SS Base layers 5 LS Base Layers 4 Sleeveless baselayers/singlets 3 Running shorts 3 Running leggings 1 running short shel jacket 1 windproof running jacket…

As has been said to me in the past 'There is no such thing as inappropriate weather just inappropriate clothing'! Chivalryder has the answer for the really icy paths but personally I would just find myself a playing field/park and run laps on the grass as it will give more than enough grip to run on.

First ever go at a 10 mile race today. First 5 were done at my target marathon pace then unleashed the beast for the final 5. All done in 1.22 with a massive negative split. Very Happy with the result tbh

1 hour in the gym and I take a second shirt with me for the drive home as the first migt as well have been under a tap

Cheers. Couldn't even imagine holding that for any length of time but it is helping with running efficiency when I slow down. My coach is a 400m hurdler so runs at about 30kph! the treadmill doesn't even go that fast! lol you don't need to use the speeds though but the concept makes for a very good variation. basically…

Try adding some incline into it also. My Run coach as part of my circuit has me doing 17kph@0% 60secs/30sec rest then 3x(15kph@8%/15sec rest) I then go onto a bit of plyometric lifting and box jumps but shows a ogg way of mixing it up. After the incline sprints I find the flat faster ones almost easy!

And also appeared on The biggest Loser Season 15. Holley Mangold From a personal point of view I can see both side of the argument. I'm an overweight(bordering on obese) person but extremely fit so wouldn't flatly say no to a PT for the reason of size however I would have to question the person who's job it was to sell a…

A fan of Brookes GTS's here but will be being refitted soon just to check nothings changed. I size up though to get the right amount of room infant of the toes as my usual UK12's are a little small when running. As other have said get fitted properly and try everything suitable. Also ignore colour, style and price! How a…

Anyone else think they cheated Subway a bit? Flatbread, salad, Sub, and soup? and called that breakfast and lunch! Thats 3 meals and a snack surely not even including the crisps(chips) and cookie.

Don't take this the wrong way but if you're in need of weight loss then at one point or another you didn't need to force yourself to eat those calories so it shouldn't really be a problem to find ways to consume them should you choose. Personally I just go on feel. Normal days where i'm not doing my long runs I just eat…

I have a few but keep it simple mostly. Garmin for running Garming for biking Poolmate for counting laps swimming. You want interesting, a friends daughter who swims competitively uses an abacus to count laps

Spot the outlier! haha Sub20 5K Sub1.50 Half marathon Sub 4 Marathon Sub12 Ironman 10 Pressups 500hours training for the year.

30 seconds in and I couldn't watch any further!!

Plan on doing the Dopey challenge nest january assuming I can get a spot

for an 800m swim i'd be looking at around 1.50/100m which is 16.40 if my maths is correct? However i'm a bit of a diesel engine, I just keep going and will do a 1hr10 IM swim!

Just to add as someone going through the same dilemma as you at the moment as i'm training for Paris Marathon in April and an Ironman in July. I find I run out of steam on my saturday long run and sunday long bike if I haven't had a decent feed the couple of days before so I will eat back calories Thursday and friday to…

Ignoring the Food side of things 4 hours cardio and maybe the same in weights a week really is not a lot! If it was 4 hours a day then you'd be getting into overtraining territory. As has been mentioned the people who usually comment that you do too much are the ones who normally need the exercise the most! I have a guy at…

Long run day today so 13.5 miles taking it nice an easy and yet still got moaned at by a run coach for going way too fast

Currently at around 12-15 hours a week but in the coming months will ramp up to around 25 max in early July.

I find in the winter its simpler as I have gloves I can use to wipe my nose with and the help with the breathing I just open the thing slightly below the nose and use that! ;) lol

Thanks Girlviernes. Much appreciated

well done waffle. 4.32 is a perfectly respectable time.

I'm in the UK the same as Dave and tbh except for the few weeks a year there is loads of snow on the ground to stop the cycling nothing really changes for me I just have to wrap up warmer. Personally I don't find riding in the winter too bad you just need some decent winter cycling kit to cope with it. A typical week at…
