1000 miles in 2017 (walk or run)
This is my target total distance for 2017 and I will be doing a mixture of walking and running. Anyone else want to join in?

Welcome to 1000 miles in 2017
Hey everyone :) Great to see so many people here. Please feel free to introduce yourselves! My name is Caz and I'm a runner from the UK. I've just started running again after a long injury break- this time I'm running with my dog, who is an awesome coach! I'm hoping to increase our mileage this year up to 10k runs. I also…

Week 10!
Excuse the lack of thread yesterday. I lasted much better at my 10k than my car did on the journey home! My total for last week was 18 miles so my grand total so far is 172 miles.

Weeks 8 and 9
FAIL, I did not do a thread last week. It was birthday bonanza in my family so I got sidetracked. So post your totals for weeks 8 and 9 here. In week 8 I managed 18 miles and this week I managed 13 miles. I'm slacking a bit! Grand total so far- 154 miles.

Runkeeper hugely overestimating calorie burn?
I've been noticing this for a couple of weeks. This morning I walked my dog 6 and a bit km (just about 4 miles) and Runkeeper thinks I burned 571 calories?? Yesterday I ran 8k (5 miles) and it told me I burned 702 calories. I weigh about 145lb and Runkeeper used to tell me I burned around about 100 calories a mile. Is…

Looking for Runkeeper buddies
Hi, I'm looking for Runkeeper buddies, anyone from Couch to 5k to ultra runners. :) I've just restarted after an injury and doing mostly 5k trail runs at the moment. I run with my dog so any canicrossers are very welcome to add me!

7 weeks down!
Oops, forgot to do the thread last night! It's been a busy week what with my husband being in a panto and working all day then out rehearsing/performing every night. But I managed a pretty decent number of miles, helped by a long run, lighter mornings and the release of generation 2 in Pokemon Go :D This week's total= 24…

6 weeks in! What's your total so far?
YAAAASS! I am feeling better. My first run after my illness wasn't great, my ITB gave me a lot of hassle but after a few days resting and bending myself into all sorts of pretzelly yoga shapes I tried running again this morning. I meant to do 3 or 4k to test out my knee but got lost in the woods and ended up doing 7k-…

How was your week 5?
I am STILL still ill. But I really think (hope) I am on the mend now. Only 6 miles managed this week :/ which puts my total at 76 miles. So I think I'm now behind schedule, yikes.
-
Week 4 is over, are you on track?
I am STILL ill, so only managed 7 miles. Meh. My total is now 70 miles
-
How was your week 3?
I've been lying on the sofa for most of the week, ill :( So I've managed a measly 8 miles this week. Glad I got some extra miles in the bank in the first week! My total so far is now 63 miles, so I'm still ahead of target just about.
-
Week 2 is over, how did you get on?
I didn't manage as many miles this week what with my husband being away and me not having childcare. So I only managed 17 miles. Actually, that's not too bad considering! That makes my running total 55 miles. Well done whatever you managed this week. We can do this!
-
Week One done! How did you do?
Let everyone know how many miles you managed in the first week of 2017. :)

Runners: Need advice on increasing weekly mileage/number of run days
Hello :) I'm currently running about 17k a week, split between one long run of 7k and two 5k runs (one a parkrun and one that is hills or intervals). A couple of years ago I was having bad ITB problems which left me on the injury bench for ages, but I've been doing loads of strength work which seems to have done the trick.…

Increasing your mileage
I thought we could share some tips and ideas with each other for increasing mileage so we can all reach our goals. If you're thinking of taking up running then I highly recommend the Couch to 5k program. It's how I got started a few years back and it really works. There are so many free apps that will give you audio cues,…

Looking for dairy-free friends
Hello, I've already been meat-free for a few years but now I'm quitting dairy too. Would love to add any people that are dairy-free for inspiration and support! I'm not following any particular plan like low carb or anything, and my diary is open.

Confused about TDEE calculation vs MFP calorie intake
Hello, I hope someone can help make things a bit clearer for me because all this lingo is new to me. I am 34, female, 5'4" and 150lb. I am looking to get back to under 135lb, so not a huge loss. I would like to reach my goal by the end of April, which seems realistic to me but I'm happy to be corrected. I have put 1.5lb a…

Anyone using Fitness Against Friends?
I'm looking for a virtual workout buddy. I'm 34 and female. I am fairly unfit, I run about 15k a week (slowly) and have rubbish strength. Looking for someone similar to compete against (for fun!). Is there anyone using the app Fitness Against Friends or anyone interested in a head-to-head exercise challenge?
