Hi everyone
Im a new runner, I havent been running long as i normally go to the gym.
However I have got a place in the FLM 2006.. (running for tommy's).. and i was wondering what you think of running with wristweights on? I am so used to weight training at the gym that i really miss all the exercise on my arms... will running with wrist weights hinder my running at all, and the natural swing of my arms?
I say this cause i went jogging last night and it was CONSIDERABLY easier without the weights!
Thank you runnersworld members!

I suggest that when you're marathon training you use the gym for upper body stuff and the runner will take care of the rest of you.
Ill have to buy some weights for my living room then in that case..

Its not my motivation that I find difficult, its just all the technical stuff.
What a friendly place youve made me feel a lot more positive about things, thank you.
If you are lucky some freaks will be trying on Lycra Tri Kit
You'll find running in company far easier, more fun and a lot safer than on your own, especially in the dark nights.
Try uk.athletics.net (clubs zone)
You lot are saints!
Good luck with your running.
Im starting off small though, first step- a 10k in november!
If you have any problems with your training you will find plenty of help from the forumites here.
Cant give you any more info as I run for Telford clubs, and I'm sure you woulndt want to drive 25 miles just to get here!
ill have to have a look on google... see if i come up with something!
