I'm sorry, is that meant to be a witty comment?

I run 3 days a week, gym the other 3 days working on strength conditioning. Looking at incorporating a day of spinning at the gym in on the gym days. Got lots of races in 2016 and want to be in best shape. Ran my first Half Marathon in September and loved it!

I'm looking at starting spinning shortly, also use the weights at the gym on non-running days.

Waye aye, :smile:

Welcome to all the newcomers, I'm an active individual and try and motivate / encourage all of my friends. If you're looking for someone like that by all means send a FR. I'm a keen runner so most of my posts are along those lines, lol. Have a good one ladies & gents, :)

Would happily, :smiley:

Aye, I'm definitely going to limiting my alcohol intake. I'm not a regular drinker, but when I do, I'm a binge drinker and that doesn't help as I could consume up to 10 pints and then whatever spirits / shots on top of that! I've SO much alcohol at home but thankfully I'm able to resist and never drink at home, it's also…

Not yet, but just became friends so who knows, :wink:

Wow, I've just gone through and added everyone here. Looking for some friends who have a Garmin too. I've got a Garmin Forerunner 225 and am a keen runner who lives in UK.

In the 5 weeks leading up to my half marathon (Great North Run), my diet stayed the same until around 1 week beforehand. That's when I started carb loading. My diary would consist of this; 6:30am - Breakfast : which would be bagels or porridge 9am - Snack : Mixed fruit, yoghurt and some protein granola 11am - Snack :…

Hey Lisa, whilst I won't be getting involved in these challenges I'm going to send your a FR anyway. Whilst we may have different journeys / goals it's always great to have support individuals.

Looking for new active friends who are looking to kick butt in 2016! If that's you, then send a FR and we can do this together. I'm looking at shifting some timber and also training for my races that I've planned for the year. Which includes 3 Half-Marathons within the space of 4 weeks!

Never actually tried rowing if I'm being honest, I think I'll give this a go on days where I don't run.

Yes, you have lovely eyes too!

Hey, Great memories from 2015 and also a great list of 2016 goals! You can do it, :) Here's mine, 2015 Memories; 1) Take up running (really enjoy it and wish I'd started sooner) 2) Take part in my first official race (Great North 10k) 3) Signed up and took part in my first ever Half Marathon (Great North Run) 4) Lose 2st…

Why thank you, I'd return the kiss too, :wink:

Aye, seems a canny lass, :smile:

Hey Jane, how are you? We're still here, well I am at least. Don't really venture into the forums much nowadays if am honest so apologies for not responding sooner.

I've recently got a Forerunner 225 and not sure what the craic is with it and friends. I think I've sent a FR to you...

UK here, originally from London but now living up North and always happy to have more UK friends :)

I find myself using Facebook less and less these days. I much rather interact on here as more like-minded people are on here and I can take motivation from them. Facebook is full of such negativity nowdays and people complaining about their lives without having the balls to do anything about it. The only thing I really use…

Originally from London, but living up North now in South Shields. Add away :)

It took a few weeks for me to start losing anything, don't get disheartened by this though! Stick with it and you'll start to see it change soon enough! You got this!

From South Shields (near Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) and currently on a 253 streak! Always look to support others and help motivate, :smile:

That's a bit harsh! She seems a canny lass

Aye, I'd give her a kiss :wink:

Going to try making my own bars! this sounds great, :)

During my 20's I'd eat / drink whatever I wanted and didn't think of it. Now that I'm 31 I realise this was a bad choice as it caused a bad habit which I'm on a journey to crack. Doing well so far and eating healthy and exercising is something which I'd wish I'd started a while ago. Never to late to start though, :) Good…

Hi and welcome back! I'm originally from London, but now living up in sunny South Shields! Good luck on your journey and I hope you can achieve all your goals.
