Sulking at the rather impressive thunder storm with lightening, rain that bounces and hail. I wanted to go for a run. Not fair.

I really didn't notice any difference with weight loss to be honest. It definitely is food that makes the difference I think!
I do find now though that my metabolism has probably sped up quite a bit but that's nearly a year down the line... I don't put weight on as easily if I have a few bad days and a few good days... but that could also be because my bad days aren't as bad anymore! It's hard to isolate.
It has DEFINITELY made a huge difference to my body shape and clothes size though xxx

I lost weight naturally in the first 6 months of running (about half a stone). In January when I was poorly and didn't run I lost 13lbs and then was stuck when I started again. The great losses may have been being alcohol free too.
It's definitely changed my shape and I think my body can cope better with greedy Sunday dinners after a long run.

Woop well done.
I've managed 9.6k tonight... I didn't really think about how far I was running as had to run to meet my friend and then run home after our run.... So my "3 miles" turned into 5.5 miles haha

Hooray! Runners! Can I join in your little group, please? I'm a parkrunner who enjoys running with friends and my little group that I've met through parkrun. I'm not fast and I've accepted that I'm never likely to be - never run 5K in less than 37 minutes or 10K in less than 83 minutes, but I love running. Got 4 miles in last night but am ducking a 10K night run tonight - I've been plagued with injury over the last 2 years and I don't want to miss parkrun tomorrow morning and I have a Pretty Muddy Race for Life on Sunday

Welcome to the group! Don't worry about times, we all have our personal goals but this group is just about supporting each other,
I've not done a proper run in over a week due to work and weekends away. Aiming for 7K tonight but we'll just have to wait and see.

Hullo all!!
I've been absent, my apologies!!
I'm running the 15 mile race next Saturday, haven't trained as hard as I should have but I'm confident I can rum the first 9 to 10 miles solidly..just a stop start final 7 lol. I'm back out tomorrow though doing another 13 miles I'm aiming to do that non stop so if I can achieve at least that then I am happy that can do it next Saturday at the full 15 we have a rest stop at 7 miles anyway thank god.

Hey welcome back!
If you can get to 13 I'm sure you'll find it in you to do the rest come run day. It's amazing what the crowds and atmosphere can bring out of you.
Hope all is well

I love zombies run. It's got such a funny story line. The zombies 5k app teaches you how to run and is a c25k.

Hi all had parkrun on Saturday morning (run number 60!) and then a Pretty Muddy Race for Life on Sunday - that was fun. Considering a hill training session tonight ...

Hi all, I did join this thread a while back but then went awol from the page! still on plan though just about.
todays plan is 10 hill reps, that's 10 laps of sprinting up a big hill and jogging back down-not my idea of fun but apparently it will make me a better runner :cry:

Well hill reps didn't happen! I set off to the hill and when I got there it was busy with people going about normal business and I felt too embarrassed, normally I do it with my friend who is a personal trainer but he is away this week and felt daft running up and down a hill on my own so went for a 5k run instead, beat my PB by 1 min 26 secs, down to 34.40 which is slow I know but for me its fast!

Hi all, have you room for one more pounding the pavements?? Im back running PP and hadn't realised just how much I had missed it! Great for clearing the head even at my slow pace! anyway I've signed up to a few 5milers and 10kms to make things interesting. today i was out with the dog for a lovely 10km along the beach. Sea breeze was fantastic! look forward to chatting with ye all.
