Hi Ann I have Hashimoto's which is the autoimmune version of hypothyroidism. As the amount of training I do has increased so my need for supplementation has also increased (for info I currently take 275mcg/day T4 and 40 mcg/day T3). For me it seems to be the intensity of exercise that matters. While I was training for FLM…
Kenneth.... Firstly, don't worry about the diagnosis...asthma is easy to live with if you follow your doctor's orders properly and take any pills or inhalers as prescribed... I've had the condition since I was little, but it's never stopped me doing anything I've really wanted to do. In fact, since I started running…
Hi, Commuter runner, Sorry to hear about your injury. I did exactly the same thing playing badminton 9 days ago. It was agony, and I too had to be carried off the court. I don't have medical insurance, so went to the NHS minor injuries clinic who said I had torn my gastrocnemeus and gave me crutches, horrible wooden ones!…
Just thought I'd add my bit to your comments here. I resorted to drastic surgery to cure my incontinence 4 years ago. I'd always had leaks coughing and sneezing, couldn't do aerobics or anything that involved jumps/quick movements for years. Then I started running. At first it wasn't too bad, kept under wraps with panty…

You might want to read the code of conduct too. I'm not sure that there's any rule against gently teasing rude, angry, pushy…

Funnily enough my Dad has exactly the same attitude towards his service medals. It's the same with holiday snaps, why? Why bother? "This is me and Doris outside the Taj Mahal" Fascinating you…
Yeah, I know the nights seem to be creeping in very quickly. I had to run on the road on the outskirts of the park last night, rather than actually in the park because it was getting quite dark. I like to get a mixture of road and grass/trail runs in, it helps me ward off shin splints, but that's not going to be easy…

Before I start, please forgive my self indulgence in writing this! Over the past 7 months I've managed to lose about 2 1/2 stone through a combination of exercise (mostly running) and healthier eating. Overall, I've not found it too hard - I'm enjoying my running and for most of the time it's not too painful to forgo sweet…
