just an update on my test, 3 years ago I scored a poor 38 this time round following advice on here I achieved 51 V02 max thanks guys for your help and advice MFP works :happy:

Im in the fire station tonight and just about to embark on a 10k run on the treadmill. heres hoping it stays quiet.. fat doesnt take a day off so neither am I merry xmas

Thanks everyone for getting back to me im going for the interval training, hopefully it will improve my V02 max merry xmas

its actually a walking/jogging test with a 3 % incline increase every 2 minutes. thanks for the advice

Hi Allan thanks for that can you explain HIT sessions please ? my daily training consists of:- 1. 3 0r 5 mile run, 2. 0.5 or 1 mile swim 3. light weights thanks again for the reply

I have found the warm up & downs pretty quick and I am a little sore as a result of this. So I would recommend a full warm up and stretch before starting the sessions

im on day 3 and yes its hard, so any motivation would be helpful, feel free to add me. work hard live happy

just started insanity and on day 4 today, yes its difficult and any support would be greatly appreciated. "work hard live happy"

I took my wife to california for her 40th birthday in 2004 but we did all the tourist stuff. What are the heights of the mountain ranges? regards D

Hi Difabu thank you, feeling a little silly now haha. Cant believe i never thought of hiking, i was a little tired though. :-) Love your pictures are they taken in the CA mountains? kind regards D

been there lost 29lbs put it back on and now lost 10lbs again. I have used MFP for the last 10 weeks = 10lbs off. MFP works add me if you like and the invitation is open to anyone to add me. i use MFP mainly to monitor my eating and exercise, however it is nice when someone says hi or well done. Kind regards Devol

hi everyone well i have whats called Gilmours groin and can only be repaired with surgery but thats not for me. to be honest it doesnt bother me that much so i put up with it. i have not trained in 4 weeks due to vacation, so i decided on a 5 mile run yesterday ended up with pain behind my left knee, another 5 miles today…

well after yesterdays mad mission of 15 miles then the agaony i took it easy today 20 mins @ 10 min/milles 20 mins strength work in the gym 45mins swimming then a nice well deserved sauna Now off to pick up my grandaughter for 3 hours of fun have a great day everybody D

my normal distances is between 6 - 10 miles, however after 2 weeks out due to fractured ribs grrr i decided id try a solo half marathon this morning. I ended up doing 15.6 miles in 2 hrs 30 min but i was in agony when i stopped, i had weird pains in my legs i couldnt stand, sit or lie down. thankfully the agony has gone…

thats why were here, to help support and be friendly add me and this invitation goes to everyone at MFP keep strong, were doing this together :-)

I agree you can add it, i have set my work life to active as Im a firefighter. however my job is very dynamic and my heart rate can rocket depending on the emergency im attending. Also during extensive training sessions again my heart rate is off the scale. My question is how do you measure work activity though, i cant…

Total respect is due, some effort :-)

Nothing sinister about mine, its from the area where i grew up in my home town in Bonnie Scotland, however i do believe it is Scottich Gaelic for Devil, oh dear :-)

Make sure its a dedicated running store and not just a general sports store. I have used ASICS for years now, a little bit expensive but worth every penny :-)

Bonnie Scotland here, and first from up north to say hi and welcome :-0

My little granddaugher just makes all life's problems go away. She makes my smile even broader on a daily basis.

Hi Jen welcome be careful with 1200 calories thats the recommended safe minimum. has MFP calculated this for you ? slow and steady weight loss is best best of luck add me if you like D :happy:

"Its nice to be important, but its more important to nice" Have a great day everybody :-)

welcome and i wish you well on achieving your goals :-)

Well done if you copy the link and paste it into a new address bar you can see the pics folks. Once again very well done :-)

Hiya, i have been using the app for about a month and its now like my fitness bible, however my loving 9month old grand daughter had a chew at my moble fone now its away to get repaired and im lost withput my app Argggg haha. add me if you like. happy training

Just changed my goal to 1lb per week and my cal have went from 1200 to 2000, what a difference however feeling a little guilty now

Thanks Dan That sounds real good, how do i view your diary?

all very good points and i agree 2lbs is a bit much, therefore i think i will reduce it to 1lb a week. thanks again for the swift replies.
