Ok 4.25m done. Nice leisurely one too, so I'll be doing the same tomorrow.

Somebody has obviously hacked your account again

:shrugs: How do we know it is actually you doing the running?

Don't forget to stay well hydrated!

The best way to judge if you've lost 'weight' is to check your waist size.

When trying to shed fat, especially via diet you lose a huge amount in water first which is why your actual weight isn't particularly important



I just got some blood tests done, and the advice that the clinic gave was to REDUCE CHOLESTEROL

Even went so far as to recommend margarine and low fat products

It should be ****ing illegal for official medical practices to give out such potentially damaging advice

5am-7.30pm working day and a 5am start tomorrow. I'm lagging already

No ****, Sherlock

I think waist size is too specific anyway, people add and lose weight in different areas not just their gut. In general if your clothes start to fit better you know you're on the right track.

Brought my kit into work today too , weighing up another 10km lunchtime run, although I may cut that down to 7km if any of my work mates come with me.

You're going to be a minimum of 14km down after lunch time Norbs, better get on it!

I won't be running this weekend though, so you've got time to catch up.

"Fitting better" hmm. You could say if your clothes dont fit you anymore

Did 5.5km last night with the trainers I hate. What a mistake, I've got a sore Achilles this morning.

As a fellow Achilles sufferer I feel your pain

Settled on a 8.25km route today, which is just over 5 miles, but it has a nasty 80m climb in it, which will be tough. Where I work is so hilly that it's kind of impossible to avoid a steep climb at some point. Still it should do wonders for me when I run again on the flat.

what trainers do you wear pabs?

I rock these



I find them really comfy but they do look a bit ****

I have a man pouch to that goes round my waist that I put my phone and keys into

Was thinking the same myslef.

I'm getting to the saggy, granny arse stage again with my jeans, which isn't a pleasant sight for anyone.

I've got a few pairs. Today I'll be wearing these sexy beasts:



They've got a good grip on them so they handle trails ok as well as my normal road running. I've had other pairs which I've slipped in at this time of year, but so far in these I've not had any issues.

[Rich]

These are my normal ones, which are pretty cushioned:



BUT, I 'treated' myself to these a few months ago and I hate them - really hard and unforgiving.



I'm going to have to fork out for a new pair of cushioned runners in the next month or so as the Nikes are getting battered.
