Anyone use Piyo?
wondering if anyone has tried this and has any thoughts on it? I want to incorporate it into my marathon training. My mileage is building up and I want to mix in some strength/stretch work which is low impact

Would you taper for a 10k?
I usually run 3-4 miles (2-3 times) during the week and a long run (10 miles+) at the weekend. Also do insanity twice a week. Do I need to taper for a 10k race? I skipped my long run this weekend and cycled instead. This is actually my first 10k race, have run a half marathon last month and tapered properly for it.…

First half complete!
Oh my goodness, I want to do it all over again! Was a fab day! Really cold, i think it was about -2 celcius and then it started snowing! However, ive trained in the cold and snow so was well layered and prepared. I started off slow as didnt want to burn out halfway! so for the first 30 minutes kept to an easy 11.5min pace…

Feeling tired after a long run
I feel incredibly exhausted if I've run for 10mile plus. Unfortunately, I didnt get a good breakfast today (overslept) so had to use a gel whilst I was out running with my club. I had a quick shower and then had some porridge with apple and dried fruit. So its not that I am not eating after a run. So why do i always feel…

Not enough layers? Cold running help
I went out early with my club for an early morning run. Ran 11 miles in total. I had a bit of a walk break in the end while we were trying to re-group and I started getting really cold. It was about 7-8 degrees Celsius so not that cold. I had a long sleeved Base layer and a short sleeved running top, a baseball cap and a…

Carb loading questions
I was wondering if any of you would carb load for a 10 mile race? It will be my first long distance race, or is it normally for halfs and marathons? I am up to 7.5miles so far and have felt ok, just needed water. I am going to try for 8/9 miles this weekend so i guess that will help me decide. thanks
