hi all
i ran the london marathon this year and have since run a couple of 10ks and the Dublin half marathon in september but I am no longer running at all!! I do a couple of runs on the treadmill but i need to motivate myself to start again. Any tips?

theres so many people with helpful suggestions so keep posting
1. Join a club.
2. Set some goals and milestones.
It might be worth checking the events near to your home on this forum to give yourself something to aim for.
Other than that, I agree with what the others have said about running in groups or finding a partner.
Good luck

In fact I was rather pleased to read Carries message. I thought it only happened to me!.
But in the meantime I have a different challenge ahead... there is a special hallowe'en event on at the gym
30 mins of bodypump (weights)
40 mins spinning
20 mins cross training
15 min abs
15 min cool down
All this might kick start my lazy ass!!
See you on the road ahead!
firstly a chart in the kitchen with 2 statements and space to tick the one that applies today - the statements were I didn't want to run & feel good that I didn't OR I didn't want to run but feel good that I did - no prizes for the one with most ticks
Secondly I chose an event and got sponsored to raise money for a cause affecting someone I know. The peer pressure of sponsors and personal expectation of my deserving cause made sure I trained enough to make it to the start line.
Good luck
