I love running..I have gone from not being able to run more than a few metres at a time to running 10km in 10 weeks ....I love everything about it..it decreases stress levels, gives an feel good endorphin rush along with all the health benefits...just go out with a positive attitude and hopefully you will start to love it…

try to reduce prepared food (anything that has been premade /has flavouring ) in your diet and your sodium will drop dramatically - stick to food that is natural as possible - fruit and veg, make your own sauces etc I had to stop eating any foods with additives for health reasons and its made my sodium really low :)

Hey Cam...good luck with the training..im from Adelaide and my long term goal is to do a marathon...but my current goal is to just run 10km....Im aiming for a 10km fun run on Good Friday...happy for you to add as a friend, you can give some marathon triaing advice:)

cannot wait to experience that high..im at 6.5 km longest run, but looking forward to the 10km. Well done on giving up smoking too !

I agree .. swimming can give you a great work out..do a few slow laps and then make yourself swim 2 laps as fast as you possibly can and then keep repeating slow laps, fast laps etc making sure you finish with the fast laps. You will get out of the pool with your heart racing and your arms aching and feel like you have…

Adelaide - welcome to MFP- you will love it!

Im thinking of doing the 30 day shred but im worried I wont be able to keep my running up because I will be too sore - do you think thats the case? Id rather not do it if thats going to happen.

Im an outdoors runner...the fresh air and listening to the birds chirping etc helps set my mood... but with day light savings ending soon I will have to move to the treadmill somedays ..i think mixing up long steady runs outdoors with interval training indoors its what works for me. When I was only running on the treadmill…

congratulations - i cant wait to fit back into an Aus size 12 - I will definately be celebrating that day too:drinker:

Thats how I did it with the C25K, but Ive got to 50 mins by week 8 and I love it- keep going and you will get there:happy:

Womens Health in australia is the best magazine - I liked Shape when i was in the middle east- both the UK and US versions

conratulations!!! I know how you feel. I started running in January and couldnt run for more than 1 min at a time and I ran for 50 mins at running club this morning and it was an easy steady pace enjoyable run. I felt great after it and had the same thought as you - Now I can call myself a runner! Love the feeling and I…

i just saw you are from scunny- we have an old friend from there :) you look great in the dress by the way

are you a fan of the swedish house mafia (SHM)?:laugh:

Hey - im on week 7 day 1 and I love it .I run 2 programs at once on the phone and they are 2 weeks apart, so I run the week 7 day 1 last night and week 4 day 1 tomorrow, so i can run 6 days /week but im not constantly pushing it. Ive had a few walking days on the 'easy' days so its now 3 weeks apart - ive found its been a…

im in australia - what is aUS size 10 here??

Hey - I did week 7 day 2 tonight (my second 25 min all running) and loved it - its a fantastic program to get into running - I have really enjoyed doing every day of it and I now absolutley LOVE running! Enjoy doing it

definately agree- i run outside and its the 'me time' that is the best - fresh air and no work or family making demands on me- i count down the time to I get to go out running

oh- except watched reality tv- cant stand it:smile:

I have never even tried to get to the spit/swallow part of it - shocking I know - its jsut not part of our routine - its on my bucket list to the perfect one for him someday - I drink coffee everyday though! And ive pretty much done everything else that people have listed on here -

My sisters excuse - I dont have any shoes - so I bought her some:)

well done - keep doing it- you will love it

im trying to follow the 80:20 rule so I eat really healthy choices 80 % of the time/calories so in theory you dont have to cut out everything - but due to health reasons I have cut out -alcohol, artifical sweetners, any foods with preservatives/colouring/artificial flavouring - feels like Ive cut out all the fun things!…

I agree- couch to 5 k application on your phone really motivates and helps you learn to pace yourself- Im on week 6 but ran 4km easily last sunday when running without the app - its reall helpful
