I inhale for 2 steps and exhale for 2 steps. It helps control pace and also lets your brain zone out a bit. Nose or mouth doesn't matter, whatever's comfortable for you! But if this was your first go at running in a while it might just be that. Going for 3.5 miles is awesome! But you might need to ease into it for your…

Going well, Rudy! The 10K was alright for me on Saturday. My friend came with me and unfortunately tweaked his knee though :( Don't think he'll be joining me on any future miles! Positive spin: the weekend has put me up over 90 miles now! 150 is well within my sights now and it looks like 100 is going to totally happen for…

Right on Rudy! I've been runnin around like a madwoman so haven't been able to sign on in the last few days. Haven't logged my miles for the last few days but I was at 63.66 mi at around wednesday. Will tot up the rest of them after my afternoon run (10K is on the cards today)

Agreed! Wheels totally count :) Haven't done my 10 mile run yet for the week (eep!) but did do a lot of walking this weekend so not to shabby! Passed the 50 mile mark already! woo woo!

4 miles! awesome! :) Didn't have room for my shoes in my work bag today so I'll run in tomorrow morning instead! :) I did walk to other office site and back again today though so got a few miles in still.

Rolled out of bed late today and almost took the train into work but decided that it was a lovely day and I wasn't going to waste it! So I ran in and it was feeling good! Why is it always the first few miles that are terrible stop-start affairs and then after about mile 3 it's a breeze? Totally weird. Looking good for the…

Sweet! Gotta take advantage of those moments when you actually feel like running! I walked home today so clocked up another 5 miles. Had an ice cream to treat myself since it was super warm today - phew :) I think I will run in tomorrow morning so that'll be another 5.5 too!

Yesterday I ended up going for a walk/bike ride for about 5 miles and then today was the 9-miler! Still on the training schedule for the half-marathon. Been a bit slow - I think I need to focus on getting my speed up, but otherwise feeling good!

Sounds good! Let's do it :D I should be able to hit 130 by the end of the day! Not bad

Nice one Rudy! I'm not quite going to make the 150 mark this month (unless I run a marathon tomorrow!) but 123 plus tonight and tomorrow ain't bad :)

5 mile run - nice one Rudy! Yesterday was our company's scavenger hunt across the City so we were wandering around back and forth and back again. I tried to recreate my crazy route on mapmyrun.com and it came to about 7.5 miles. I don't feel so bad about devouring that curry afterwards now! :D

Did my 8-miler today after work. Felt pretty good! Only a few days off schedule! Up to 94.5 mi now. Woo :)

Nice one! :)

It was sooo muggy so I didn't run yesterday. Been walking but no running. Naughty! So I'll be doing the big 8miler tomorrow morning before work. My oh my :P

Everyone seems to be kicking *kitten* and taking names. Nice one! I'm actually being a good girl this week- ran to work the last few days Woo! Got an 8 miler scheduled for tomorrow. Bring it on halfmar training

Ran (ish - there was a lot of walking mixed in) the 5.5mi to work this morning. In your face, muggy weather!

Well done Gracee! 18 miler! Phew! I've been real lax on the half-mar training. Too much stuff going on in August! But I walked home from work last night so that'll keep ticking over the miles. Woo woo!

Had a nice little walk in the sunshine yesterday. Woo summer's finally here!

I'm still around too! Only 9 weeks to go til the half marathon - yikes!

Nice one everybody! I didn't make it to 150 - ah well. Next month though, it's going to happen!

July sure is a tough one. I've broken through the 100mi barrier though (mostly walking, very little running). Need to step it up on the running - It's already week 2 of my 12-week half marathon training and I keep putting it off! Naughty Hope everyone's coping with the weather!

It's still absolutely terrible weather out here. Was in Ireland last week and didn't get outside a bit (except in some big wellies). Back to it starting today! (only 91 miles to go! :P )

Hey guys! Fell off the wagon a bit, as it were, lately but I'm back and totally going to get serious about running again (again :P) Half marathon in October, which is ages away! so it'll be here sooner than I think, obvs :P I've chosen the ambitious goal of 150mi this month. We'll see :)

Hey all! The weather has been so so miserable lately. Been really difficult to get motivated to do any longish runs or walks. Grim! Might run into work tomorrow, torrential weather be damned!

Depends on how my exercise you do as well. I find bananas work a treat to prevent lactic acid build up after long runs/workouts and that would outweigh any issues with it being a starchy mid-range GI carb.

Hi everyone! Can't believe it's June already! Had a mighty lazy long weekend but back to it today!

This!

Dang, everyone's done so well! I just sneaked over the line for 157 miles for May - the recent run of good weather has definitely helped nudge up the mileage! D Happy June everyone! x

Did my 10K yesterday in the scorching heat - and survived! Woo hoo! Feeling good today too :D Probably should rest the legs and not walk home today though. Nuts :)

Nice one!!
