Glute band recommendations?
I'm after a glute fabric resistance band but I've just been on Amazon and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different brands and options. Can anyone recommend a brand? HMH resistance band looks good but its £12.99 for one band and you can get sets of 3 for a few pounds more. I've no idea if that is pricey for what it is?…

Bruised My Toe Running
I've bruised my toenail through running. :( Whilst I feel like I have earned a runner's badge of honour I'd also like to avoid it in the future! I've had new shoes for a few months now and had no problems until I hit 6.4 miles this Sunday, but Google tells me this is shoe related. I went to a sports shop to get fitted for…

10k training without treadmill
I can comfortably run a 5k and have been running on and off for years. I'd like to train to run a 10k. The last time I did this (a few years ago!) I just ran a bit longer on each run until I hit the distance. I had a race time of roughly 70 minutes, this time I'd like to get it under 60. I've found an 8 week 10k training…

Fitbit Manual Logging
I spent 5 hours working on my allotment today. It was light constant activity, no sitting down. My fitbit didn't track this and I think has underestimated my steps for today which is fine, its not cardio and its not step based activity. So I've tried to manually log the activity on the app (I estimated 450 calories) and…

Looking for a running app with timers?
Does anyone know of an app that will let me listen to my own music and set timers so I know when to start running/walking? I'm trying to get back into running after a break. I've done the NHS C25k before and really liked it but as I'm not starting from the beginning again I want to be able to set my own intervals and…

Estimating Calories Burned
I need some advice on how to estimate calories burned when doing running/walking intervals. I just did 30 mins of exercise covering 2.5 miles. I ran the first mile in under 10 minutes and then did walk/run intervals for the last 1.5 miles finishing with a sprint. I'm just not sure how to estimate the calories burned for…

Can you check my numbers please?
I'm using this calculator: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I'm a little unsure what activity level to use. My job is a desk job, but outside of work I'm fairly active and go running 3/4 times a week (currently about 1.5-2 hours a week). Based on that I'm guessing I should set it on 1-3hrs/wk of light…

Getting Enough Protein
How much protein should I be eating? For various reasons I eat a mostly vegetarian diet, I made the change from eating meat to eating almost no meat gradually over the past year. I never worried too much about protein, I just made sure I had a source in every meal (eggs, cheese, yoghurt, nuts etc.) and figured it would be…
