On a separate note, how do you stop the treadmills at the gym shutting off after 30 minutes?
Really interrupts my flow
Get a better gym or better still stop imitating a hamster & run outside

I've always wondered this, £15 month seems a lot to replace something that the Garmin should do for free, although the Garmin only seems to have one workout "42 mins at 7:00k/m" regardless of what I've done the days and weeks before.

Easier to stick the pace Runna tells me to on the treadmill.

Aye, I'm never sure why as it doesn't feel like it should be a mega fast course but I always seem to get decent times there, as do all my family and friends who've done it over the years.
Speaking of Sunderland runs, done that Chariots of Fire thing over the beach tonight. Was decent - nice atmosphere to it, free t-shirt, bit bait from Faustos, would recommend to people if they do the same next year.
Shame I couldn't make the film showing after, sounds like it would have been decent as well.
Bringing up the issue of shin splints again. Anyone who's had it previously still have pain when they weren't running? Been almost two weeks and it's there with every impact through walking, even squatting and standing back up again putting compression/pressure through it.
Seen the GP who gave a physio referral but said the waiting list is ages (4 weeks just for a letter with a number to call to then make an appointment)
Managed to get a video physio consultation through an app/provider at work and have a stretching plan using bands/foam roller etc.

Go and see a good sports physio and get them to go to town on your calfs.

I just got back into running this year, where I had stopped for around nearly two years.
Around Christmas time I was around 208lbs, which translates to just under 15 stone. I was struggling to do a 5k within 35 minutes and my cardio was shocking.
I am now down to 168lbs (12 stone) and just this weekend gone I completed the Liverpool half in 1:47. I am signed up to do the Sunderland half this May and my ultimate goal is to complete the Kielder marathon this October.
I’ve also not drank any alcohol since Christmas Day which has helped both physically and mentally.

That banks a killer, doing the half again and by the time I reach that bank I'm fucked.
Should be a breeze in the 10k though

Just with running. I tend to do four or five 10ks a week.
The biggest factor of the weight loss is definitely diet and no alcohol.
Just had a lovely muddy 10k slog through Lambtons land. Some great trails to run around on the permissive footpaths
