goodtimes_888 Running in between watching the cricket. (Well done with the running. I find it harder to enthuse about cricket!)
harte2harte Chatting on the thread. (Not sure whether you're running too but you're very welcome).
here4fun87 Wants to improve fitness. Already runs 10k but doesn't enjoy it! (That's the spirit! This could be your spiritual home!)
jackspop Does deliveries. Lost three stone in the first year of the job but nothing since and needs motivation. (We can do motivation! Tell us how you're getting on).
justmaybe . Did a mile round a local track and some stretching exercises. (That's a great start. Keep going)
Just normal people . Did five miles in 55 mins. Nice stroll with the dog. Considering cycling. (That's sounds really impressive to me. Well done!)
Makenchi . Did 5k run on the treadmill in 43 mins. Doing 10,000 steps a day. (That's a great combination of stuff. Are you feeling the benefit?)
Mickey and Minnie Prefers running in the morning. (Hey guys. You were so busy being lovely to everyone on the thread, you didn't say much about what you're up to. Let us know).
Micky-disco Says it's getting easier. Up to 12 and 15 minutes of running! (That's fantastic. Getting easier??? Seems an impossible dream to me!)
Miss.Honey Thinking about running. (That's the first step!)
Mixed Mister New member. Welcome. Ordered new running trainers and intending to start. (You've got the kit now use it! And come back to tell us about it)

Shyno . Swimming, rowing, cycling and jogging! (You star - that's a full house!)
signorina Did metafit this week and didn’t pass out, as well as week two run three! (I don't even know what metafit is but it sounds hard!)
SimplyClass Mark started in the new year and is enjoying the motivation of the thread. New member of Fab Crap Runners' Club. (Welcome! Tell us how it's going for both of you)
sparky4g Managed a mile in under 10 mins. (Wow - that's a great start. Well done!)
tandh Went jogging before work and felt amazing! (Really good idea. Start the day feeling pleased with yourself).
tigercub89 . Two miles in 28 mins. Doing circuits like she's about to collapse! Really good - that's fantastic. Glad you're sticking to the club running style (running like you're about to die).
Topsy Rogers Used to be in the army. Finding it hard work to get fit again but says doing it feels ace! (Nice one! Really glad you're doing it. You're ace!)

"This week I’m only working four days (was only meant to be three but has the big boss coming in Tuesday so have to be there for that). Ads and I are off to the flicks tomorrow night so I’ll bus it there and then walk back (just under two miles), Tuesday I’ve got to be in work for 8 so I’ll orobably walk (1.8 miles) and then bus it home, weds I’ll walk one way and then bus it home another not sure on the combination yet, Thursday we are off to eurekas then to see my son and walk up to the pub so probably get in another couple of miles, then it’s the weekend probably fit another 4 miles in, I will definitely break this week!! Thinking about maybe signing up for some kind of fun run thing where you can walk later in the year as I have majorly surprised myself this week. I even walked the kids to the bus stop today and that’s over a mile away with no complaints and back again and I felt fine! Geeky x" You’re really racking up the miles. That’s so impressive. I bet the fresh air is a massive boost too. | |||

I'm usually a regular runner but very unfit at present. I'm at a meeting later six miles from home so will run there to earn the right to eat and drink then get a lift home. | |||

"Can anyone advise me please?, i started this programme in summer, got to week 7. Meaning i went from being able to run barely 30 seconds at a time to running 25 mins without stopping and im very unfit! I stopped in september when i came back to uni. Should i start from the beggining again? " Impossible to say without knowing how fit you are now. I would advise starting with week 1 day 1, and if that is too easy, try week 2 day 1 next time. Based on those 2 runs, and your recall of how you felt doing it last time, pick a level you feel would be tough but doable, and start from there. Good luck! | |||

" I wouldnt if i was you, you know you're capable of running without stopping so plan a route out thats about 5km then run it until you stop, walk a bit then do whatever it takes to finish the 5km. Have a day or so rest and go out again with the intention of beating your previous effort. Wont take long until your back to your old level | |||

If that’s easy go straight to w2r1, then w3r1 until it isn’t so easy. Then carry on as normal, every other day of course. | |||

"Whats a half marathon like? " HM is my favourite distance. Far enough to be challenging, but without the three month of training needed to do a marathon. Think of it as 4 parkruns and a victory lap. Going from 0 to 5k is really hard. 5k to 10k is difficult. 10k to half marathon is a little easier. | |||

Would it be better to stick to this and increase jog/decrease walk time or try maybe jog 30 seconds - walk 30 seconds and increase the jogging slowly from there.

"Advice if possible Is it better to stick to one method or try different ones to see what suits better. Ive been doing 1 minute jogging and 2-3 minutes walking. But jogging kills me. Would it be better to stick to this and increase jog/decrease walk time or try maybe jog 30 seconds - walk 30 seconds and increase the jogging slowly from there. So many things going on in my head "We're all an experiment of one, you need to find what works for you. Sounds like you might be better off with a shorter jogging period for now, something which you can achieve with a bit of effort, but doesn't leave you doubled over. Once you get comfortable with that then slowly increase the jogging time. Persistence will pay dividends, stick with it! x | |||

"Im on a week off due to snowboarding
No excuse, perfect environment for hill repeats??
I'm not sure what a hill repeat is...
Run up
Walk down
Repeat
Until you puke
The mountains here are quite big... don't think I could even do one in over a metre deep of snow "What sort of defeatist attitude is that!

"I’m loving this and I love to run. Trying to get my 5k time down below 24 mins. Park run and community is a massive help here for advice and support " Yes, parkrun is great, especially for new runners who fancy entering a 'proper' race, but might be feeling a bit nervous or in_imidated at the thought of being out there with 'proper' runners. Park run is nothing like that, it is very welcoming to new/slow runners and walkers, it's whole ethos is based on inclusivity and providing an opportunity for everyone to get out there and give it a go. If you fancy a more organised run, but are worried about taking the plunge, then parkrun is definitely for you!
Just fire up Google and it will point you to your nearest one. Go on, you know you want to.......

"I’m loving this and I love to run. Trying to get my 5k time down below 24 mins. Park run and community is a massive help here for advice and support Yes, parkrun is great, especially for new runners who fancy entering a 'proper' race, but might be feeling a bit nervous or in_imidated at the thought of being out there with 'proper' runners. Park run is nothing like that, it is very welcoming to new/slow runners and walkers, it's whole ethos is based on inclusivity and providing an opportunity for everyone to get out there and give it a go. If you fancy a more organised run, but are worried about taking the plunge, then parkrun is definitely for you!
Just fire up Google and it will point you to your nearest one. Go on, you know you want to.......

"Keep finding excuses not to get out and run this week, running out of excuses though " I did metafit Sunday and ran and got a spanking so was sore Monday. Yesterday was still sore and bloody cold so I rested but knowing that today I had to get out in order to do my 3 per week with rest days. Hat n hoody on I ran like that toddler, chased that pug like my life depended on it. New week so harder didn't get as far or as fast but it doesn't matter I did it | |||

"Hi all, I just wanted to put here that I’m now a seasoned runner and I believe if I can do it anyone can. It’s not about going as fast or as far as others . It’s just doing what you can and when you can. Life is about making yourself a better person and making you happy not anyone else. I have severe anxiety and depression from my army days and other life issues but running has saved my life. When I feel down n worthless trainers go on and I go out. It’s my therapy and I’m here for anyone who wants to chat" That’s great, a real change that’s impossible to get through pills | |||

"Keep finding excuses not to get out and run this week, running out of excuses though As said, just put your trainers on and do it. Doesn’t matter that it’s too cold, dark, windy or you’ve got a bone in your leg. You definitely won’t succeed if you don’t start, but when you do it you’ll be really pleased! And exhausted too, but that will pass" I totally agree....i try not to think about it but just put my joggers on then I'm straight out....its 30 mins of the day but then its done and yes you do feel pleased, pleased you went further, it didn't hurt as much, you recover quicker or just pleased you finished it lol | |||

I agree...it kept my depression at bay for years, and gave me a very nice bottom (allegedly). Shame about the moobs | |||
