Bouncing back, after falling off...
A minute bit about me... Looking for some more people to add to my list... Bit about me, lost quite a bit of weight a few years back by starting exercise, didn't do the controlled eating bit as it was a massive learning curve as it was just with the exercise, did a Marathon, dropped off the wagon, got back on it and did…

Apples make me bloat...
... but only in the afternoon... Does anyone else have this or am I just weird...? And can someone maybe give me a scientific (not too technical!!) reason why this would happen... Actually thinking about it, bananas make me bloat in the afternoon as well, but thought that was if I wasnt exercising within an hour, but maybe…

Training advice needed for 5k race in June
Hi there, I've been keeping an eye on the posts here recently and to my annoyance I notice that I'm doing my training in meters when most of you talk in yards. And maths is not my strong point in calculating times/distances etc... The race blurb say that I have to at least be able to swim half the distance in one hour - so…

Open Water Swimming
Sorry if this topic has been posted before but here goes... I've got my first olympic tri this weekend with a 1500m open water swim. Now, I can do the distance in the pool no problem, but I've got the benefit of walls to tell me when I've done 25m and so on. I tried swimming in a lake a few weeks back and it dawned on me…

The next challenge (as in the one after next...)
I always like to have something to aim for... In January after posting on Facebook that I was looking for a triathlon for 2014, someone offered me a place at a Half IronMan in July this year, after careful consideration I declined considering I'd never done a triathlon before (I know, chicken huh?). So I thought I'd start…

Frustrated...!!!
Hi all, I'm a regular in the exercise department, I am that stage where I'm fighting the urge not to have rest days but know that I need them. My issue today is, I cycled 26 miles yesterday and walked a further 6 miles, all part of my commute which is how I'm increasing my training, in total I burnt well over 2k calories…
