Today I picked up the pace a bit and ran 6.1km in 40minutes on the treadmill, couldnt have run much farther at that pace so I think I need to do a few speed sessions next week.
I did my weigh-in as well but there is something up with the scales at my gym, the started [...]
I did my weigh in on friday and was 14stone 11.5 pounds so a 1.5 pound loss for last week, not exactly spectacular but at least its going in the right direction and I’m back under 15stone.
Today was an awfull run from start to finish, I started out aiming to run 8km but right from [...]
Went back in the gym for the first time since injury today, was a bit busy as the kids are off school - the bonus was they have replaced all the weight machines with new funky ones and they have put in 2 extra running machines.
I did 30 minutes on the cross trainer which felt [...]
Did the same 40 minute run on the treadmill today as yesterday but yesterday I only ran for 20mins at first and had a 3 min walk break - today I ran non-stop for 30mins and had a 3 min walk break so fitness improving slowly. Still aiming for an 8km outside long run tommorow.
Did [...]
Shins are all better today - I ran 30minutes at 10km /hour on the treadmill and was knackered, had a 3 min walk break and then did another 10 mins or so at 10km /hour again - felt good to have a quick run as yesterdays was a bit of a jog on the treadmill [...]
Got some new running shoes today and they’re great - took them to the gym and did a quick 25 minute run and my shins were perfect. I got them from a running shop in manchester and they did a gait analysis on me - I ran on the treadmill and the film you running [...]

This week I have done a 10k run outdoors in 1hour 6 mins and today an easy 7km run in 50 minutes, weigh-in was good today as I’m 14stone 9pounds - [...]

Woah - really pushed myself today, did a 30minute run to start with - 8 minute jog to warm up followed by a flat-out run for 22 mins. I ran the fast part at 10km/hour on the treadmill, Im sure the treadmill doesnt show the correct time as I have run this speed outside and [...]
I finally did it! Im under 15stone for the first time in ages - it feels really good to have beaten this plateau I have been on for the last 3 weeks, it was getting really frustrating. It just goes to show that when your exercise routine has gotten stale and you plateau - mixing [...]
Sigh - exactly the same weight as last week! Im pretty sure this is down to giving up smoking - I think my metabolism has slowed as I have been exercising daily and eating well. I’m not going to let this get me down though - time to to kick it up a notch next [...]
