From NROLFW to 5x5
Hi all, I have completed stage 1 of NOLFW and even though I enjoyed it, after a lot of reading and research, I have decided to move to 5x5 due to its simplicity.

HRM Recommendations

I am currently using one I picked up from Aldi, which is ok, but I would like a slightly less temperamental one as sometimes it has little wobbles where it doesnt want to measure all the time. Slightly annoying. I have been looking at the polar ones - especially as there is a nice…

HRM query
Hi I have just purchased a heart rate monitor and when I used it to go a run, it said that I had burnt more calories than mfp estimates? Is this correct as everyone says that mfp over estimates the calories that you burn? I'm just a little bit confused? Xxx
