I do remember having to run the PARE (Police Abilities and Requirements Evaluation) when I had a terrible chest cold.  This test elicits a maximum or near maximum heart rate in everyone who does it within the first m...

My cold is mostly sinus, so I still run with it...I just run slower than normal and need to drink more fluids.  Sometimes the exercise clears my sinuses, if only temporarily.  If you run too much, it will wear your b...

The last 5 kilos are always the hardest to loose. Also, muscle is metabolically more active (burns more calories per hour, even at rest  than other tissues, so ideally, hit the weights and hit them hard. You will loo...

Remember muscle weighs more than fat, if you've been working really hard and building more muscle then this could be a reason you're not seeing the number drop any more

After u wake have a glass of chilled water with ice cubes it will kick start ur metabolism. also green tea say two times a day ..it will work great both  for weight and skin  

It is very hard to create a great looking body just by running alone. I knew someone who would clock up ridiculous miles every week at a fast pace and eat almost nothing in a bid to lose love handles and belly fat. H...

I've been training very hard for some  short  runs e.g. 10k races etc. The training is progressive so that I always feel I am working hard at this.

My eating habits are healhy: No or very litle carbs, lots of water etc. I only "cheat" one day fo...

My best time in this race is 19:05.  That set the pace for upgradeing to 10's where I'm stuck.

I've done a  few myself, but cannot better my time of a very bad 1;20;15. I thought maybe speed straining, but I get sick(bronchitis) and loose all my fitness in 4 weeks' time.;-(

I did a half marathon with a cold and it rained part of the run, and my minor cold moved into my chest. The next weekend I did a 10k. Slowly, but that's how I run! :) Two weeks out, but chest is still congesting. So...

thanks very much I think I might be ok!I I went out this evening to just test the water so to speak as to how my body would cope with runnnig with wheezy chest and it was fine I ran 5k as I didnt want to push myself...

I did a 5k last year with a chest cold. I survived, needed lots of rest after! I was a bit wheezy when I finished, but that was my own fault for trying to make sure I finished under 30mins! I was fine though after res...

I'm struggling a bit with a mild chest cold right now and I did two short runs yesterday (5k in the morning a bit over a mile in the evening since I'd promised my 7 year old we'd run!). I just stay hydrated and take...

Thank you for your answer no I definelty dont plan to win the race I will happy if I finish it and its not that long its 5 miles so I dont think I will be pushing myself to much!I plan to relax as much as possible af...

You can run with a chest cold, but the rule is, if it's in the chest, you shouldn't.  You can run, but I definitely wouldn't push it.  You want to do a short distance and an easy pace if you do run.  The problem is,...

Last week I pulled a muscle in my back which prevented me from running for a few days and my lovely children have a chest cold this week which they kindly gave to me lol Now it is a very mild chest cold and I have a race on sunday which I really w...

I have 2 weeks until my first 10k. I've done lots of 5k's but is there any part of this plan I can use to get ready in such a short time?

I'm attempting my second 10K in three weeks.  I'm starting to worry that I might not have the umph to finish the race.  The first time I was pulled out of the race due to heat exhaustion.  I've run several 5K's and I average 4 to 4.5 miles on my d...

Recovery time depends on how serious your low back strain or Upper back strain is. Mild cases may resolve in a couple of days. It can take many weeks for more serious strains. Remember that everyone heals at a differ...

Low back strain can be a painful and depressing injury. But the good news is that most cases heal on their own, given time. To speed the healing, you should: Ice your back to reduce pain and swelling as soon as you...

Being nervous before a race is normal, and can even help you race faster by getting those endorphins flowing. But there’s a fine line between having butterflies in your stomach and hurling into a trashcan five min...

Hi, any tips on coping with pre race nerves, I can never keep food down the night before a race which doesnt help my performance on the day

The 15K (9.3 miles) distance is a relatively new race that give runners a middle distance before attempting a half marathon.  It is a good target for those who have done a 10K race, but don't feel they're quite ready to take on the half-marathon...
