    Doing a 16K walk in 5 weeks time..

    I did a half marathon midnight walk back in June - great fun but i was pretty tired the next day.. As jenny said - good footwear is essential - we actually saw a girl walking in flip flops! and comfy loose clothing. We trained for a good few weeks beforehand by just simply increasing our...

    Joined the gym today, hints and tips welcome :D

    I've been going to the gym regularly since about July and have found that doing a mixture of cardio,weights and classes has kept me going as i am not doing the same old same old every time i go - which is a sure fire way of losing interest.

    I'm about to join Bannatyne's
