I started running a fews years backon a treadmill at the gym. At first it was really hard and I couldn't go for longer than five minutes before needing to stop for a few deep breaths. Recently I started to take fitness a bit more seriously in a bid to lose some weight and improve my fitness, and am proud to say that I now run for five ...  Read the complete review

I was a self-confessed couch potato not so long ago until I decided to do something about it. I wanted to get fit and though running would be a good way to start achieving this. It's a relatively cheap exercise, with no constraints (apart from your own fitness). I invested in a good pair of trainers. It's worth getting your 'step' ...  Read the complete review

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run. So is running just for furry little bunnies or is it something anyone can try. Well at the moment I have to say running is a big part of my life. And while I would not exactly say running has changed my life, I would say it has improved it. Am fitter than ever, have lost weight and am more motivated. So in ...  Read the complete review

Running has become a huge part of my life. It is not something that I do singularly for the exercise, or weight regulation or any other kind of health benefit: I do it for the all encompassing way it reconnects you with your body, both physically and mentally. I literally feel like I couldn't live with without it. I am addicted to running! Mad ...  Read the complete review

I have just been for a run! My first one for about a year! I regularly attend aerobics classes at my uni gym, but running is totally different as I realised today. If you are looking to get fit on a budget then go running. Its free! Apart from some decent trainers, I got mine in TKMaxx. They are nikes and cost me £30. A gym ...  Read the complete review

As a teenager I used to watch the London Marathon and look at those people struggling at the back and make some very derogatory comments about their lack of speed etc. My dad was watching with me one year, and having already run a couple of marathons himself, looked at his gobby teenage daughter and said "get your trainers on, we're going ...  Read the complete review

Introduction and History - Before I got into hockey I was an avid runner, I ran for my school, town and county at a young age and thought I would go all the way. I won a AAA award at the age of 11 with a 100m time of 13.79 seconds, quick for a little person. Unfortunately everyone started to grow much quicker than I did and I was soon ...  Read the complete review

When I was a young man, not so long ago I used to run quite a bit. The 400m was my race and I won our school sports four years on the bounce. Hopes of a glorious career were cut short at the Strathkelvin regionals where I came seventh out of eight albeit in a decent time of 57 seconds. Sadly things ended there and as readers of my ...  Read the complete review

My chest was heaving, my heart was thumping its way loose, and my ...  Read the complete review

It was shortly after Christmas when I decided I needed to do some exercise. I hadn't done any since I was at school and wasn't really sure where to start. It seemed very daunting. I didn't want to join a gym as I felt sure I would feel out of place, that the repetitive exercises would bore me and at the time, I couldn't really ...  Read the complete review

I first tried jogging at the start of 1999. The effects were almost instantaneous and within a week of an 'every second day' schedule I was feeling fitter and better than I had for years. If you are thinking of jogging I would recommend that you try staring with VERY short periods of jogging interspersed with short periods of ...  Read the complete review
