Just read a great interesting article in the independent about how running makes us gain weight! Look for it, some great tips. Can't send link cos it's all apps :)

I got curious and looked that article up, lol. I think it can be summarised by this bit:

"It's very easy to think, when you've been to the gym, that you merit a treat. The reality is that the number of calories you have to make up for is usually very few."

"People gravitate towards rewarding themselves after exercise with sweet treats," says James Duigan, the trainer responsible for the bodies of Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, no less, "which is like taking two steps back."

Basically, don't think that just because you've been running, you can have a cream cake! :D

The article is here, btw: Does running make you fat? - Features, Health & Families - The Independent

ETA: hope you feel better soon, Pigcity! There is a dreadful plague going round my office, so I'm not feeling very optimistic about my own health at the moment....
 
Just a little 5k today :)

I can see some elements that I agree with in the article, but I personally have found it is running that has really helped my weight loss. Training with Kettlebells actually stalled my losses??
 
Still no running for me ( I hear it makes you fat!! Lol) but did cycle 28 miles to visit a school! Electric bike which helps a bit but still knackered. And rewarded myself with crisps. Sigh!!
 
28 miles is fantastic WG!!!
 
Wow! Impressive. I can't even run for straight one hour. :mad::mad::mad:
 
5.95 miles, I'm gonna round it up to 6, but I felt I had to declare it (evens out when I round down though I guess). Took me 58m 33s.

WG - well done on your 28 miles. Do you have hills on your routes too? How was the school?

I may do a run on Saturday whilst my lad is at athletics. I shall see....

Well done PC. I can't do tomorrow either, forgot I have a tutorial. Yet I'm gagging to go out and run. How times change eh?
Click to expand...
How times change indeed! Pre-slimming world I would be nursing a hangover right now! Lol
I'm on my own with the kids until thursday, so unless I can convince my sister to look after the boys for an hour on monday I won't get out until hubbyy comes home.

I'm already itching to get out, it's a lovely cool morning!)-

Just 1 for me, as part of my workout - I'd've done more, but I hear it makes you fat :D (Actually, I'm still aching from my step class!)
 
5km for me today! Did it in 45 mins, so I'm getting a wee bit faster, slowly but surely :)

3 miles for me, in a poxy 30m 36s. Yet the run felt reasonably good.
Ho hum. This week I'm planning to run tomorrow (dragged a new victim out, but he only wants to do a short 5km run, rather than one of my longer 10k ones). I will then get a chance on Thursday lunchtime. I may try and do a longer 10km run then actually.

This weekend I am going on a little cycle trip for 3 days (starting from when I drop the bairn off at school on Friday morning). The trip is from Reading to Bath so it will be nice and relaxed. I had intentionally wanted to do London to Bristol, but a friend from work said she'd come with me and was nervous about the longer distance. I haven't done anything like this before so I thought the company would be welcome. If it goes well though, I really fancy doing more - but along the waterways, I so love seeing all the different boats etc. To be honest, I'd happily retire on one in my old age. But, that's a while off yet, for now I can cycle up and down, and maybe next year, all going well, I'd even consider doing some camping alongside.

Why I'm boring you lot with this I don't know - just realised I've been prattling on!

Anyhoo - I've also just realised that I've made it to 100 miles and back - so that's 200 miles of running since we started this back in April(?)! Yay!

Just a 6k today, I am gradually building back up to 10k. So far running with no knee issues, but want to take it steady just in case :)
