Yes unfortunately I have a displaced bone in my foot which has caused aligment problems which has lead to slipped discs and the shoes will have a custom made insole I have a similar insole in my ski boots from the same company.

I don't have a HRM it's on the list after the £200 running shoes I'm going to have to buy if I want to do a half marathon next year. :(

I had a nightmare it wouldn't let me change each to grams so I had 500 mushrooms I gave up stuck it all in the lunch section and then added it as a meal.

about 15 minutes you boil it. I half cook it and then when I bung it in the microwave at lunch it isn't over cooked. :)

Better? Monday Evening Weights and Abs Tuesday Morning Run (treadmill - 5k) Tuesday Evening Body conditioning Wednesday Evening Weights & Abs Thursday Morning Run (treadmill - 5k) Thursday Evening Body conditioning Friday Rest Day Saturday Pilates Run (treadmill - 5k) Body Conditioning Sunday Weight & Abs Hi/Lo Run…

After Erickirb's advise I've moved things around so I'll be doing weights on monday now, and I've changed sunday's body conditioning to Hi/Lo instead.

Friday is a rest day. I like running it's new to me and I want to keep my stamia up as after christmas I will start training for a half marathon.

I could swap the runing and weights around a bit so it wouldn't be so much after each other.

11 weeks till I go skiing! Eeeek

Hi Erickirb Weights routine is yet to be defined I'm seeing my PT at some point over the weekend. Body conditioning is defined as dyamic aerobic warm up followed by strength and endurance exercises that challenge the entire body using hand held weights and body bars. Goals to be ski fit for december.

anyone?

I was like you until I went skiing (after a 15 year break) was too scared to go fast incase I fell over I didn't think I would get back up again, I skied badly on the 5 day I fell over slipped a disc and piled on some more weight. I then booked another skiing holiday for christmas again, it cost my whole bonus (which was…

How does it work?

I would look at improving your sleep. Maybe try a bit of cardio which might help you sleep better? I find night time teas helps and also having some down time 30 minutes of no tv, phone etc before switching my light off helps.

You aren't quite right please see the below extract from the NHS 'We need to drink about 1.2 litres of fluid every day to stop us getting dehydrated. This is in addition to the fluid we get from the food we eat. All non-alcoholic drinks count, but water and milk are the most healthy. Try to avoid sugary soft and fizzy…

most people mistake thirst signals for hungar signals. In addition you will only feel thirsty when you are already dehydrated. Edit - NHS recommend at least 1.2 litres in addition too food but this can also be from tea or any water based drinks.

I brought a cheap iPhone armband from amazon (under £5) the plastic still allows the touch screen to work and as long as I don't pull it too tight it's comfortable it's ajustable with velcro. The only issue is that because it's fabric and I sweat when I work out it now stinks I'm trying to work out how to wash it without…

You will run faster at the beginning but as long as you don't burn out it should improve your overall time. 34.14 is really good! I achieved my fastest 5k on my 10k and it was just only 32 minutes and I have run a few 5ks!

Apologies I missed out the processed bit although to be fair I try and not have potatoes too much too and other than veg (excluding Potatoes) I rarely have carbs in the evening BUT this works for me and does not mean it will work for the OP. Additional BUT I have a generally low carb diet not a no carb diet.

Sometimes the equalition is low carb + a caloric defict = weight loss

How much do you weigh and how tall are you?

Sorry but did you mean to say you lost 45lbs in 5 weeks shouldn't that be 5 months (at least)?

any other advice?

I ran my first last week, (I was last I did it in just under 70 minutes) finishing is an amazing feeling!!! Congrates!! Enjoy it!!

Thanks my cardio is fine as I said but I will check out the sites for weights.

I disagree with your opinion on not signing up before you know if you can run it, if the OP is anything like me then she needs to sign up to something to give you the extra motivation. I have lost 2st of the 6st I need to lose so I'm carrying lots of extra weight, I was extremely unfit, I'm 34 so not young anymore and…

I use runkeeper only because my housemate recommended it. I like it because you can set it to notify you at either a certain time period (mine is 5 minutes) or at a certain distance (mine is 1km) or both. So when you are running if you want to say run 6k, once you get to 3k you can turn around I run alone the Thames so…

TROLL

If you have just started exercising your muscles might be retaining water to recover. Have you eaten foods high in salt this will also cause water retention. Take measurements to see if there are changes there the scales suck sometimes
