A quick google and Hal Higdon novice 2 looks ok, but what plans do people recommend?? My running back ground is 2 years of non consistent…

Running Pals!
Hello runners of MFP! I'll keep this simple, I'm after more running pals, particularly UK runners so we're in the same time zone. I'm currently training for a half next month, and trying to manage the runger as best I can now that my long runs are into double figures! More running on my news feed would be great! :bigsmile:

London Marathon
Anyone watching? Or running it? It's around this time of year that I think I might want to do a marathon!!! (I don't, a half is far enough!)

Coconut flour
Do any of you bake with coconut flour? I made what were supposed to be cookies, but the mixture was too runny so I put it in a muffin tin and they came out vaguely cake-y but a bit bland (the recipe was literally coconut flour, eggs, baking soda and butter). I might try them again with peanut butter in the centre, but does…

No Tomatoes!

On a normal week i will make chilli or bolognese or lasagne... all of which are out when i cant use tomatoes, so i'm after ideas for what i can make instead? Tonight I'm using green pesto stirred into pasta, and i can go for milk/cream based sauces for carbonara type…

The 'easy' run
Is it really possible that since October I have become so efficient at running that I'm burning 100 cals less on a 6ish mile run? I'm half marathon training (my second) and have noticed my garmin is being rather stingy these last couple of weeks. Have I just mastered the art of the 'easy' run which means I'm not getting…
