Running can be one of the quickest ways to get in shape. If you don't personally like to run, how can you change this? Do you not like running because it's too hard? Do you simply not enjoy it?

Changing your mental attitude is one of the easiest things you can do...more
For the 23rd year in a row there has been a recorded rise in GCSE results as almost 7 out of 10 entries have been awarded a C or above. On top of this 22% of exams sat in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were awarded an A or A* grade. There is also an increasing trend in pupils taking GCSE Maths and English exams a year early, which fuels the rumours that the exams are getting easier although Schools Minister Nick Gibb insists they are not....more
If you're the athletic kind you'll benefit from wearing running socks. Even if you're not a runner, any vigorous activity like aerobics can be made more pleasant by wearing a pair. These socks provide extra cushion while wicking away excess moisture. Many runners used specialized trainers and cushioned insoles, but they throw on a pair of bulky sweat socks before going for a jog. Socks are worn next to the feet, so if they don't conform to your feet, you can be just wasting your money on those other accessories. You'll want to locate a pair that are warm in the winter and cooling during summer seasons. Once you locate a pair you love, you'll probably never partake in another athletic activity without them again.So, what makes running socks so special? First, they're the only socks to specifically be made for physical activities. You'll never locate a pair that are just made out of cotton. They're made from a special blend of materials that work with your body's chemistry to keep you running in comfort for longer periods of time. Athletes that take part in marathons, games and athletic showcases will all swear by them. A great way to compare them to a regular pair of socks is to...more

My runs were plods doing 10min miles. I spoke to the PSI at RMR and he said I should be running 3 miles in under 21mins. This was my new challenge. I started recording my times and doing just best effort runs, unfortunately my main run was only 2.84miles, so I had to make a calculation to round up my times. Each run on the road was still over the 10:30 times I needed, but my times were averaging 07:30min miles, just 30seconds of the pace needed to pass the PRMC. I was still training in the evenings, though I knew my training wasn't the intensity I needed. With my PT I tried the 3mile tread mill run, I passed it well inside the time, but this was without the incline. I tried it the following week with the incline and struggled coming in 30seconds over the time. The following PT sessions involved doing the 2nd run on the incline, which I completed well within time. Having spoken to one of the RMR lads they said to break the run into 3 x 800m intervals and aim to complete each one in 3:30. I used this mind set and this helped me through. From then the mental block I had was lifted and my training and fitness went up a gear. I started back to Kettle Bells twice a week. I...more
