Second time!
Hi Everyone! I completed the C25K originally in early 2014 and ran a few 5k and 10k races over the next 6months. Then I fell off my bike and broke my arm and just completely lost all motivation :( Am back to my original weight now so need to get myself sorted! Did Day 1 today and it didn't feel nearly as bad as Day 1 the…

Hi!
Hi Everyone, Just found this group! I'm 5'2" and currently about 138lbs (give or take a lb!). I started just over a year ago at 156lbs and for about 10months I was so focussed and motivated. Running, cycling, strength training, and dropped down to 135lbs and was so happy. Then I got injured and ever since my drive has been…

Banged my knee
So on Sunday I got my first ever road bike - just a cheap entry level model. Took it out for a spin to get used to it, as I've only ever had mountain bikes before. Did 13 miles no problem, and on the last mile I hit a kerb at the wrong angle and went flying! I wasn't able to get my feet out of the straps in time and the…

Stage 1 Squats & Deadlifts
So I've just been preparing myself for my second attempt at starting this again and I've confused myself. In Workout A - it just says Squats? What type of squats? Bodyweight, barbell, dumbell? Same with Workout B - it just says Deadlift? Barbell? Romanian? Dumbell? Confused!!!

Achilles problem
So about 5 weeks ago I started getting a pain in my ankle. Just in the mornings when I got out of bed - it was very sudden - just got up one morning and there it was. I figured maybe I'd turned it running. I run 3/4 times a week on a treadmill at the gym - I did the C25K and then followed up with a few weeks of interval…

New with 23lbs to lose
Hi Everyone!! I'm 28yrs old, 5'2" and when I weighed myself at the start of the week I was 11st 1 3/4lbs.... In 2010 I was 11st 9lbs and went down to 10st 2lbs which was great, but I've gained it all back on again, so am back on a calorie controlled diet and increased my exercise in a hope of getting down finally to my…

Starting today
Today will be my first day of the Bridge to 10k programme after finishing the C25K in mid-November. I have a feeling today is going to be very tough but hopefully I'll get through it. I'm using RunDouble, so today's session will be 5min warm up, 5 x 8min runs, 1m walk. I'm already getting nervous!!! Wish me luck!!!

Scooby Activity Level
So I recently decided to switch to the TDEE method because I feel more comfortable knowing exactly how much I should eat every day and my exercise routine is fairly regular. I selected moderatly active as my activity level on the Scooby Calculator. I just wondered if more experienced TDEE'ers agree or if I should increase…

Today is the day
So I got the book, I spent all weekend digesting it, and am confident I can at least attempt everything in Stage 1. I joined a gym that has all the necessary equipment, so I have no more excuses. Today is the day - Stage 1, Workout A1. Still - I'm nervous about stepping into the free weights section as its new territory to…
