it seems theres loads of runners or wanabes (me Sticking out tongue ) on here so i thought we could do with a thread (nuke it if you dont agree)

i just recorded my first run 1.92 miles i know its fuck all but i'm dead proud of that! i've had a couple of little runs round the block over the last few weeks but other than that the last time i ran any where was to get some fags from the shop before it closed!

ps i feel great compared to 2 weeks ago when i thought i was going to die Smiling

You can't. And once the bulk's there the majority won't go so don't start climing mountains if you still plan of fitting into your slim jeans

Problem with that is you lose muscle mass all over your body and end up looking frail. + I lost a load of weight that way and my thighs still stayed big

I use http://www.walkjogrun.net/

Do most of you run outside or in the gym? I've recently got back into running, but can't get used to running in Central London with all the traffic and people (and dogs), so I think I'm going to run in the gym more often from now on...

Good site. Just made a route me and my mate run which we thought was about 5 miles. Turns out it's just under 7

I can't be arsed with running, I have just started skipping, it's a pretty good work out (makes me feel like I have done at least some exercise) and I can do it in my garden

Laughing out loud Skipping is a manly exercise plus it's quite addictive trying to learn how to do the crossing over stuff etc (no 10 year old girl)

You do it on grass on concrete? I wanted to take up skipping a while back but was worried about the impact of jumping on a hard surface repeatedly.

you skip on your toes, the grass catches the rope so you stop start and all that - do it on concrete
