Been getting on alright this week, kept up my running after work and had first day of pre-season on saturday , where we had our base fitness tested( got 125secs on the 500m shuttle race and level 60 on the bleep test).............wasnt fun, but struggled with the 500m last year and only got 40...

Got three tattoos so far, got both my kids names on my forearm (one inside one outside)........and a weird tribal thing I got while teavelling that I dont remember much about...... Booked in for a consultation on the 17th of july for a full sleeve and chest piece on my left arm

Had two days very similar to the first day, but today I went for a game of touch rugby with the lads instead of the gym, exhausted now though lol Finally got round to weighing myself today after ordering in some scales (didnt have a set in the house) I weighed my self at my mother in laws last...

Started at 18st, want to get to 14/14 and a half stone, currently 16st3lbs So 31lbs to go

Shin pain is usually caused by an inbalance of the muscles in the lower leg which we don't notice until me start running. I had the same problem when I started C25K and tried a few things before I found the problem. to start with try running on soft ground where possible. make sure your lower...

There is loads of soft ground nearby Debbi as its been pee'ing it down for the past two days.............but due to us going into our off season (rugby) the club physio has told me to stop running and hit the bike, so i'm ok for pre-season. I was enjoying the C25K aswell, really noticed the...

I'm having to drop out for a few weeks atleast :( been getting alot of pain on the inside of my ankle, so went to the physio and she reckons that the running on tarmac coupled with the dry hard ground we've had at training the past few weeks has gave me shin splints. so it looks like I'll be...

Don't know if it counts :p..........but I'm currently reading the Walking Dead Graphic Novels..........on #29 of 108

put vaseline on the blister and the outside of the sock where you are getting the blisters and it should cut down the friction between your foot and trainer (I do this when breaking in my Rugby boots and it works a treat) edit: after missing W1 D3 due to a dead leg, I decided to jump straight...

remember to have a strech afterwards (hamstrings/calfs/quad's) this will help you cool down after you have run making recovery time quicker. If your muscles feel really sore tomorrow, a hot bath or shower followed by a little ice will get you ready for day 2 ;) @ Charlie.........your fairly...

the fact that you have made the step to start running is the main thing..........after a few weeks you'll be finding it easier and bein to really enjoy it....goodluck

To start with I reckon this is a great idea :D I will be fit I will feel more confident in public I will be able to play sports with my son and daughter I will feel comfortable in my clothes I will be healthy I'll be able to have my picture taken (and be happy about it) I'll have more get up...

Jingle all the way..............Arnies acting always makes for a funny movie

I can listen to almost anything if I'm being honest usually the older stuff though, but my all-time favourite band is Metallica. Also like Lynyrd Skynyard, Led Zepplin, The Kinks, ACDC, R.E.M, Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin

Any movie made by Asylum (the company who realise's movies with almost the same name as the real movies) Or any movie that makes it onto Scfy in the afternoon............ Sand Sharks, OctoShark....wtf!! :p

1st Breaking Bad 2nd The Walking Dead 3rd Hannibal

I went to the Docs just after Christmas and he said I was obese going by my BMI and that I should be around 12st if I wanted to be a healthy weight. I'd played Rugby since I was a kid and up until I was around 18/19 I was very very fit, training 4 days a week and playing 2 games. at that point...

A few years ago I heard the same thing from a friend, went to the doctor and he gave me a number to phone. What was offered was a 1hr session twice a week with an employee of the gym, who would put you through a routine/session. I was joined by 4/5 other individuals also looking to lose...

After the Dumbell session on the sunday I thought I was gonna be really sore afterwards, but the C25K actually loosened up my muscles and I felt reat afterwards. had a slight shin splint pain when doing the last 60secs due to it being on tarmac, but apart from that I really enjoyed it

If its ok girls I'll join you in here :p current weekly plan is............. 2hrs Rugby training on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 30mins Couch25K Monday, Wednesday, Friday 50mins full body dumbell session Sunday and tuesday afternoon good luck to everyone else

Started this today, wasn't to bad to be honest but definitely worked up a wee sweat. I found it better to run on softer ground rather than concrete or tarmac as it can be quite tough on the shins. I'm 16st at present

done!! Was easier and harder than I thought...........after the first 2/3 60sec runs I thought "this ain't so bad", but by the end I was getting a good sweat on :p glad I've got day 1 out of the way and looking forward to wednesday now

Any of you guys watch this? In my opinion its the best show ever to grace our TV screens, great cast, great story and the twists and turns are outstanding. Has a slight comedic value in some episodes also.

well todays the day, going out at 10am for my first session of week 1 :o had a Fitness session at Rugby on Saturday in what we would call in scotland a hot day :p and had a full body dumbell session lastnight so feeling sore and tired. Its only 20mins though (I keep telling myself)...

well done Charlie......have you noticed a big difference over the two weeks? The swimming will be a great way to mix it up a bit due to it using different muscles and being non impact based..............I'm goin for sprints due to the sport I'm playing which involves short bursts of running...

Have been looking at the C25K programme for the past 3weeks now and have kept putting it off...............but I've went out and bought some decent running shoes and I'm gonna take the plunge on Monday. I'm hoping aswell as helping with my fatloss it will help ioncrease my aerobic base, which...

@Auburn, I have started eating a healthier diet, but haven't went on any diet plan as I've found I need to replace some of the energy burned during games/training or I'll burn out (so I've been told) @ktcymru, 1st 11lb in just over 2 months is great work, well done..............as I said above...

HI all, after being sporty as a child/teenager, which seems like yesterday, I awoke aged 29 and 18stone (where did the time go and the belly come from:o) having two young kids (1 and 3) I decided I had to get a grip of my weight and get fit/healthy again. I joined my old rugby club in August...
