mainly be healthy, though i wouldnt mind losing a bt of weight. I am addicted to anything sugary and sweet, so trying to eat more fruit. I have given up chocolate for lent too :smile:

Also it might mean i run better if i eat better. xxx

Good luck with that. :smile:

You're a good runner too. :biggrin:

does running improve skin complexion? i find that my face looks much fresher and hydrated after i've been running (and remains that way till the next day).

Sweating helps remove crappy toxins and stuff in your skin I guess and then you're also having to drink water to rehydrate, which also aids that process I guess. :smile:

Did a 8km run today and I can definitely feel it becoming easier. Think I might start running a little faster to push myself a little more.

I really regret not going in for my towns' half-marathon too :frown:

Got to go the gym to run, haven't had much time recently, I'm doing the race for life in June and there's now way I'm going to be able to jog it as this rate!

I find that my skin's better when I'm running regularly, it feels like all the crap's being forced out of it because I sweat so much.

9 days since I last ran, and I'm having a huge breakout at the moment.

Anyone done this: http://www.hellrunner.co.uk/index.htm ??

I did a half marathon last year, looking to do a couple more this coming summer and thinking about the 'hell run'. Fitness at a massive all time low atm though, third year uni + winter = zero running! Sun is starting to appear again now though :biggrin:

I did the one down south last year, really good atmosphere and a great event. Think it is becoming more popular as they now have 2 events on the day in both the south and the north.

Are you thinking of doing it next year?

Going to do a fast 15-20m run before step class tonight.
Then maybe instead of spinning tomorrow i will do a proper gym workout - treadmill/crosstrainer/bike etc.

Anyone got any tips of stopping blisters on my feet? I don't jog too often because I row so I'm normally on an ergo, but on the occasions that I want a double session I'll jog, and it always messes up my feet. I've tried jogging with 3 different pairs of shoes with socks of different thickness but I'm still getting blisters in the same place on both my feet.

That doesn't sound too bad, I ended up having 4 chocolate things and half a muffin at our staff meeting yesterday when I'd not long had breakfast :o:

May sound odd, but are you tieing your shoes up properly? I do mine a little tighter than normal and I stopped getting them (either coincidence or the cause for me).

You're not ruining it. Your body needs sat fats, unsat fats, sugars, and salts.

I think some people assume that the best runners have nothing at all on them, when in fact strong muscles give you a massive advantage with regards to form in the latter half of the race, and also when sprinting.
