What is the point of friends on here?
I have been a member since around 2012, since the removal of the Newsfeed which means no longer able to see friends' progress or statuses and they no longer being able to see mine, may I ask just what is the point of accepting friend requests?

Lagging when trying to post to my own wall
Is anybody else finding that when they try to post to their own wall, re a status or something like that, that there is terrific lag and it is a minute or two before what I have typed actually appears and only then can I click "send"?

Running - the one thing that has always done me in
One of the only things I detest when racing, is how many of the competitors bolt off at the "go", if I try to sprint off it does me right in and always has done. I decided a few weeks back (it's okay, it has only taken me 38 years to realize :laugh: ) that no more sprinting off for me, I am going to start off steady. I…

HRM strap rubbing
Has anybody else had their HRM strap rub whilst running? I have a small blister there now, well actually it is a strange sort of mark, I am presuming it is because of sweat during a run irritating my skin. How did you combat this?

Goodbye
I have had to make this thread to say goodbye. :brokenheart: Yes, goodbye to my favourite pair of running shoes, they have finally reached their limit of 800km and now they must be discarded with. :brokenheart: :brokenheart: Unfortunately, I just cannot bring myself to do that, they were the trainers that got me outside…

This is what you need to burn
In a few simple paragraphs, this is what you burn when you are at a deficit of calories, the body has to get energy from somewhere and it will be the fat stores that it has in its cells. Not bone, not muscles, not your liver (joke), it is fat: Article from http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/human-biology/lost-weight.htm…

Bloody incredible burst I had! I shall be eating more bananas before running in future and in particular before any race I run.…

Not counting calories in some foods???
Where did the idea originate from that calories from fruit and some veg for example, do not need to be accounted for? First Weightwatchers with not worrying about the calories in fruit - oh okay then, oranges and apples and pears, won't count the ten pieces I have just eaten, even though they would take me to virtually my…
