Couch to 5K - anyone on or recently done week 5
Hi I have just completed day 1 of week 5 today. I found it okay, though it was a bit of a shock doing three five minute runs!

Cheap gadget for tracking distance/heart rate etc
Hi, I am doing C25K, I have just completed first day of week 4 so I am feeling a bit chuffed.

They get up dead…

Anyone got any good ideas on how to get through the Easter Hols without falling off the wagon. I am already struggling a bit with kids on hols but next weekend, it will be chocolate eggs galore too.

Hi, tomorrow is my first day!
:happy: Hi. Before I get started I am planning a blow out meal, courtesy of hubby tonight. We have got chicken, noodles and Wagamama hot spicy chilli men sauce. As last suppers go, it's probably not too bad. I really want to sort my weight out by my 41st birthday at the end of May. I am not great at following complicated…
