4miles, 475 cals & 36 mins

[patchesmum]

Got the energy boost back today, maybe something to do with sitting in a 7 hour conference all day, so decided to put it to good use! Very strange but my really good happy days on this diet are the days I have a flapjack washed down with a shake!

Shakes and a flappy arrrh bliss lol.

Am I reading that right Patches?

You ran 4 miles in 36 minutes? That's fast.

 

[patchesmum]

That's right! Couldn't have gone any further though! Going to try for 5 miles in 45 mins at weekend.

Is your treadmill pointing downhill?

When I was doing my 5 milers last year I was only doing 11:00-11:30 minute miles. I had my wife in tow then and she was quite slow and although I was faster on my own I would be burnt out after a mile.

It's the 198bpm heart rate that got me worried. I think that's why I've lost weight so well on LT - I'm really a gerbil in a man's body!

 

[patchesmum]

Ha! I actually have it on a 3% gradient ! And yes it is miles not km! It's the flapjacks that do it for me!

Hi kellybelly123 I am on the 6th day of my 5th week. I have cut back a bit on exercise so busy. Its great to have more energy. My weight-in day is Friday tomorrow. I dont weight myself at home. I have lost 1 st 7 lbs so far. I am hungry all the time but I do something that takes my mind of my belly. This week I had to drink stuff in the hospital for an xray I hope it does not effect my weight lose. I will get back on the treadmill today.xx

 

[mary50]

well done patchesmum Igo on the scales tomorrow Friday .5 weeks complete. I will get on the treadmill again today I do 3% but I am not as good as you. Congts on your great effort keep up the good work.xx

 

[mary50]

That's so good, im on my 1st week so taking it easy but next week im on the treadmill or if weather picks up i'll be out in the fresh air x

 

[mary50]

I am in my 5th week .I MUST try these flapjacks. Patchesmum do you take 2 meals together then . I thing I would find that very hard, I will give it a try I would like to do better on the treadmill.

 

[mary50]

4 miles in 36 mins is fast well done x

MrC running on a treadmill and running on the road are completely different I could easily do 26 miles on a treadmill but my limit road running is 14 miles x regularly do 6-7 miles and it takes me about 45 mins sometimes an hour if there are hills x

Well done daisy!i get embarrest running in public

Hi Mary, yes 2 meals together but then don't need to eat for hours which is good as I never know when I will get a break at work. Also, enjoy with a big mug of black tea! I think it is because having them means you actually get to eat and after a month of liquid only I need that feeling!
