My $0.02 worth…Obese, couch25k to full marathon in 12 months. [img][/img] 731375-1187-0021s by Dipak49ers, on Flickr

wow. I totally suck at running. Im too embarrassed to put up my numbers after reading this thread.

I've been running for 18 months, went from c25k to a full marathon ( Toronto, May 2013) and have fallen deep into a spiral of funk..running seems almost impossible to me these days and I have to force myself to get . I am looking to run San Francisco marathon next July and I have a place for Berlin. I need somebody to kick…

if you order one from the states to save a couple of quid, you will get lumped with around £20-£40 on import duties and charges, so just but it from nike store GB, at least you know it won't be counterfeit

funny :-)

go to a pub and beat up some Hell's Angels

1. I'm pretty much at my goal weight... 2. I just got sick and tired of the fat jokes. it was the 'lazy' jokes that hurt me more. 3. Anything my mum cooks 4. Go running :-) 5. Brag about it for a while , then aim for something even more outrageous.

and an innocent question becomes open season on Vegans...

seriously? so not cool...supporting your local running store not only keeps them in business but also provides a service to you as a runner. Go to any 'chain' sporting goods store and see how knowledgable they are about running or how much they could care less about runners. These stores might be a little more expensive,…

believe it or not, it was running not too long ago. I'd say the only thing I would hate to do is weights..I'd go out of my mind with the boredom of picking things up and then putting them down.

hi tyler..just logged in today for 915 days. new friends always welcome to replace the inactive ones. Mfp really works!

it's great to have you back!

2 pages in to find the winner. agreed.

What if Hot mom's significant other earns a 7 figure quarterly bonus on top of a 7 figure salary, , can afford a team of child minders for each kid and not have a job to go to? "Hot Mom" is basically saying that regardless of your circumstances, you should be embarrassed for not being fit, healthy and hot. If ' hot mom'…

if being ' fat' was still considered unhealthy AND , say hypothetically you were one of a 90% of a population that was ' fat', would you still accept being 'fat' just because most people are? I think it starts from accepting who you are, and then accepting or rejecting the choice to do what is socially unremarkable or do…

cooked s**t...yum.

I'd say if you are racking up 25 a week you are not a beginner! great mileage!

NINERS ALL DAY #questforsix

+1 for jumping in to a full programme where the 'long' run was your 13 miler. I did my marathon using higdon's novice 2 and it worked for me!

blunt and direct is so refreshing. I'm always happy to have more friends..and I do communicate with all 240 of mine that are active!

it's no secret..you have just go to want it..and want it BAD.

astute

First off, I'd say that you need a greater long term motivator than a party in Miami...it might provide you with all kinds of benefits if you extend a healthy lifestyle beyond the party....but it is a good goal to reach for. I cannot give you complex scientific techniques about what to eat nor how much, but moving more and…

persevere. slow down, and try again. if you need to, repeat any part of the module as you see fit. I tried and gave up FIVE times on c25k, and finally made it count on the 6th attempt...and I managed a marathon less than a year of finishing c25k. Just dont give up!

^^ this ^^

Good luck Sammy...you are as prepared as you can be. have a terrific race!

I almost agreed with you until you said ' stumpy'. Nice.

I have lost all my weight ( around 90lbs ) by watching calories, not macros. I do,however, try and make an effort to make sure I get enough protein, and carbs, as I run 6 times a week.
