Berlin half marathon for me on April 1st, a bit of an ambitious goal time aswell but in truth it's all about shedding the weight and building a base for the track season. I can't wait to tackle the 800/1500m.

Hey everyone has to start !

You'll get as much positive vibes finishing out of that 10k the i will out of finishing the marathon.

I'm roughly the same weight and started at 118kg so i know where your coming from.

Start a training log and you'll get lots of help along the way.

I wasn't shouting it too loudly but I'm hoping for a sub 1:30, coach was very confident of this happening about 5 weeks ago but after a bout of sickness and a few sub par weeks he's still confident but has advised no more missed days

Currently 13 and a half stone. Aim to be down to 12 and a half max by DCM in October and run it under 4 hours (maybe quicker depending on training between now and then...)

My aim is to do a weight loss challenge this year and not be the heaviest on the list

But in reality I want to be under the hundred mark by the end of the year and 105kg by the end of this challenge.

Hi
I'm currently 134lbs (going by 1st thing in morning weight) and I aim to get down to 126lbs.
Goals for the year are to break 49mins for 10k and 22.50 for 5k. Would love to do DCM as well if training goes well.
