IT band running advice please
I started running last year (Easter). I did c25k and have been running 5k+ without any problems since.. Until now that is... Seems like I've developed a problem with my IT band (or the muscles attached to it more likely). I've not managed to run for over 2 weeks now and struggle to walk without limping even. I'm resting it…

Which tracker to believe?
I've been using a pre-installed tracker on my smartphone (LG g4) to track my walks and calories burned... I've also started C25k (on week 4 day1). I decided to download endomondo today. I went out walking today and used both to track to see if there's a big difference... Oh my! I walked 8.39 9km (5.21 miles). My…

Weight loss and exercise
I have gone from doing very little exercise (a weekly yoga class) to doing c25k 3 times a week ( I'm currently on week 3) as well as walking 3-5 miles twice a week.
