well done :)

a 14 mile run will kill the calories in that :) - and sometimes it is ok to spoil yourself - as long as u do damage control and don't do it regularly

running outdoors :)

i wear a 5and a half walking shoe - gait analysis was brooks size 7 - different companies shoes come up with different measurements

now the questions are - what is the severity of your over pronation? - how much arch support do u need?? what distances do u run? - how heavy are u? - are u sure it is a forefoot strike - and not mid foot? remember paying a bit extra for a fitted pair of trainers may save you the cost of physio visits if u mess up your knee

amy - better to research online 'runners world' like jackson posted than get advise from runners world!!! and then look online for last seasons shoes for a better deal if u are on a budget

if u have had a big increase in exercise - then a good quality carb will fill u for longer - i eat a lot of carbs when i plan a longer run - just continue to make sure calories out > than calories in

it is definitely do-able - mix it up to find what u like u could try: jillian michaels dvds - they are great for toning and fat burn - hard to start off with - but stick with it and u should be able to do the whole 1st level routine in a week/10 days walk/jog/walk programme - 4x pw for about 30 min each day - until u get…

definitely get gait analysis especially as u are experiencing knee problems which could lead to a longer term injury - check online to find a running shop that offers this service :)

gait analysis - and then try the recommendations on their treadmill and they will look how the change in shoe specs affects your gait you will notice a huge difference to running in a randomly selected show good luck

not done it myself - but a lot of people like their support system, goals and their way of 'calorie counting' - it works well for some people - u will know if it works for u - ditch it if it doesnt or stick with it if it does and u could use both and compare data - and feed back to us what u think is best from each - or…

definitely an achievable goal - and if u get a running buddy to go along with u it will be all the easier take it slow - there are a few jog/walk/jog online - this one is for 10 weeks - but u can adjust it - or find one for 8 weeks http://www.walkjogrun.net/training/5k/training-plans.cfm good luck and have fun :)

running should help with weight loss - but i run between 20 and 40 miles pw depending on my schedule - the 'experts' recommend running for beyond 1 hr to get into the fat burning zone - which u can work towards by using the jog/walk/jog strategy (this is how i started off) and calories out > calories in - or u wont lose…

i don't think there is a problem stopping for breaks - listen to your body and you could prevent injury or fatigue stopping you from working out regularly. - it will get easier after a few days/weeks/months - when i first started running i thought i would never be able to do 2 miles - now in a taper week i think 2 miles?…

realistically tho - i factor a glass or so of wine into my calories some days and i try to make sure calories in < calories out

wine and yoga?? ummmmm - how about just the juice on offer here?? :)

done :) - made left calf ache a bit

i'm in :) - going to do it in the sunshine :)

happy to be added - and will add those who are happy for me to add (if i figure out how) :)

training for marathons makes burning in excess of 1000 calories in a workout quite simple - but not for every run - or injury risk or burnout would be a risk - complementing shorter runs with brisk walks in excess of an hour helps to make up the burn numbers for the day - but rest days are a big part of my training schedule
