I was considering getting a Garmin and currently use Mapmyfitness app of my phone. Having trialed a watch and spoken with friends, there seems no real advantage by having the watch. I use an armband to hold my phone so easy to start and stop the app. Plus I get to listen to music while running. Save your money and stick to…

How long were you smoking for? Chances are, you haven't done too much damage to prevent future health and fitness improvements. I keep slipping into the smoking trap, and am a runner.

Pop to Sainsbury's and get their basics 1Kg rolled porridge oats. No salt, no added flavours, fats or any rubbish. Add 30g to 200ml skimmed milk and slowly boil. The porridge comes to less than 200 cals. I add a teaspoon of cinnamon, a slurp of honey and a sliced banana, so it has plenty of carb and protein and little fat,…

Hi, I started using Mapmyride for cycling, tells me how far, incline and hills, speed and cals burned as well as doing other exercises... always loved cycling, but haven't for years, just got back into it. So 1 Sep - 25 miles 2 Sep - 8.5 miles Have to get up at 5 to go for a decent ride before work, hence shorter distances…
