Cheers Lost 6lbs 1st couple of weeks. Ive eaten more fruit and veg than I would normally buy in a year. Feel better but weight keeps going up and down by a couple of pounds. Training going great but only done 7 miles (78mins) on Sunday as my longest run. Started to really enjoy running and getting a real buzz from it. Only down side has been the local AC. Have no begginers sessions and have advised me to run for a couple of years before joining them or consider running a marathon. When I receive my medal must post them a photo.
Hi everybody. Just found this thread so its taken me about an hour to read through it. I am running for the 1st time for Scope. Good to see everybodys running times are about the same as mine. Did not want to get to the FLM to only find anybody not dressed as a smurf would be a serious runner. I would love to run sub 5.00, but will be just happy to run and finish on the day. On the note of weight. I am on a diet and have tried to keep under 2500K a day. Does anybody know how many carolies you should be eating during training?
8 min miles. I hope thats down hill. Can keep 10 min miles for about 6 miles and then have to slow up. Thanks for all the advise. Will check yellow pages now.
