Have you been checked out by a doctor? I have a naturally fast heart rate and because of that my maximum heartrate is higher than other people my age. I got the ok to run at the higher rate after having numerous tests to ensure my heart was healthy. I would recommend everyone looking to...

Which marathon are you planning to do? I applied for London but not too sure if I want to give that distance a go (my longest race is a half marathon).

I love running. I would love to do a sub 20 minute 5k but not quite there yet.

I agree (and Brits are not far behind). I do believe a lot of people seem to have no idea about what is healthy. So many times I have overheard people say they will have a salad because it has the lowest calories yet you look at some of the ingredients its far from the low calorie meal they...

Thanks. Very heartbroken right now but I know the right thing was done. This morning hurt more than yesterday. She usually jumps on me when I wake up. It was hard not having that. Wish I had known yesterday would be the last time.

My darling cat passed away today. I am so sad. Had her since I was 12. She lived a good long life but the pain I feel is still awful. Was totally unprepared when she went for tests today. It would have been cruel to try and keep her going. The goodbye was perfect. She even purred which...

I believe HFCS is banned in Europe. Plenty of other rubbish chemicals in food though.

I eat loads of carbs. Complex of course. I need the fuel for running up to 3 hours. Weight wise I am about 10lbs lower than I thought was possible and health wise I am off all meds. Healthy living is pretty important to me. I know what it feels like to be overweight and it was not fun...

We have a good bunch here.

2 litres a day???? Wow thats 2 years worth of soda for me. I am just amazed anyone could drink that much. The reaction your wife gave was extreme but she has your best interests at heart. You might not see the damage you are doing to your body but that doesn't mean that there is not...

How many calories do you eat per day?

I totally agree with Snooch. A lot of people go into marriages thinking their partner will change their minds on the kids issue and get upset when it doesn't happen. Your case is totally different. You guys discussed it and he changed his mind. You deserve to be told why.

I will start. I have been running since April and really love it. Been treadmill running for about a year longer but that is very different to me (I still incorporate treadmills for interval work). I have gone for being exhausted doing 1 minute to 6.5 miles non stop. I love how freeing it...

I thought I would create a thread for runners of all levels to discuss all things running.

I love stubble. I don't like it when dh has a clean shaven face. Its too soft.

I had about 10 piecings (I think). Most have closed up now. No tattoos. I don't mind them but I do think people need to think very carefully before getting them (I know a few who have regretted getting them).

I would rather go for burgers than salads when eating out. Salads can be so much worse because of dressings. Restaurants are a nightmare because nothing seems to be healthy. I refuse to suffer bloating for the next day and ruin my training so I skip sauces and try to make things as plain...

I was going to say similar. I don't wear any designer gear because I cannot afford it. Does that mean I should go and rob people for it?

London seems fairly quiet tonight. Other cities not so much. It seems people have realised that police are doing nothing so people are destroying businesses. So sad seeing people lose everything like this. Its so wrong! I don't blame the police. They are not being given any powers to do...

Yep it is annoying people are saying she is going too far. Its been a long journey and she looks fab and healthy. I have had people talk to me about my weight twice this week. I get warned about going too far. Its so annoying. Honestly I do want to lose more weight but I am not too thin...
