big bowl of porridge with a cuppa tea..... yum yum in my tum!!

In january I started to up my weekly miles which were betwen 30-40 for most of last year to 50-65 (I did this gradually for an april marathon). I could feel my legs getting tired with the more weekly miles I was putting in but actually found after a few weeks of it that my legs were getting used to it and it felt a lot…

this is me on sunday after a 10 mile race. I came 3rd out of 150 women and won a trophy and 3 bottles of wine! (how did they know!) oooops had to re-size.. my first attempt at posting photo on mfp forum lol.

well done! thats great to place first in your age group! I find it so fustrating when races aren't the length they are supposed to be (whether its too short or too long) I ran a half marathon in Feb and it measured 13.52 on my garmin! was really fustrating as I was on target for a sub 1:30! I always look at the average…

Wow, your long runs being 8:40 thats pretty good going for long runs for your first marathon! When I was training for brighton marathon last year I was probably doing about 9 min miles (I couldn't run any faster), then did sub 4 on marathon day (only by 1 min though: 3 hrs 59 ). I'll get that well deserved pint in for you…

25th March - Hastings Half Marathon (aiming for sub 1:30) 31st March - 5m Olympic race - I was 1 of 5000 that won a place to run a 5m race that finishes in the London Olympic stadium! 15th April - Brighton Marathon (aiming for sub 3:15 in order to qualify for elite entry for London Marathon 2013) Happy running everyone :)

I have become a little addicted to running, joined a running club last year and have been reading and taking notes on training…

Hi, I get my running gear from sportsdirect.com Their Karrimor band is really good for running stuff. I have 5 pairs of their running tights. They are only £8 a pair and fit really nice and have a zipped pocket too which is good to put your car / door key in. Also they have florescent tshirts for under £10 which is good…

She doesn't say that she is on a 'calorie deficit diet' so you don't actually know that it's water retention.

you need to get yourself a new set of scales that tell you your body fat percentage. this happened to me too, I was training for a marathon and was running several miles almost every day and eating healthy and I gained half a stone! but I changed my scales for ones that tell me my body fat percentage as I was building…
