Ello all, new person here.

I started running about 3/4 months ago. Wanted something to focus on after splitting up with my ex, and after realising I was getting a bit too chubby for my liking (I do a lot of late hours at work, and we get takeaway a lot). I'm pleased with my progress so far, both in terms of improved fitness and having lost the fat I put on, and a little more. Felt good to be able to get back into a suit jacket that I couldn't quite do up 5 months ago, hehe.

...So I'm running with burning fat and feeling good as the priority, and anything else (i.e. fitness) a nice bonus. I generally run about three and a half miles, first thing in the mornings, about 2/3 times a week. I'm just getting to the point where I'm thinking of getting into things more "seriously" (considering entering a race, joining a local club, buying some proper running clothes for the winter, etc). Looking forward to being a bit more hardcore

So yeah, that's it really. Hellooooo

Hi Steve,
Welcome to the RF!

This is a great place to get advice but also a great place to tell others about your achievements.

If you can get through the winter and come out the other side still running you will be looking for a new wardrobe with all the fat you have burnt off Well, thats what I am hoping for

O.

Hehe yep, I've already been spending way too much money on clothes as it is. I'm sure I'll keep it up.

(And the running, too...)

Sounds like you're ready for a race....find yourself a 10k to aim for...it's good to enter these things and use them as motivation.

This time last year I couldn't run for 1 minute...I've just completed my first half marathon...just show what you can do if you put your mind to it.

Good luck!

Welcome... sounds like you're planning a few things already that'll save me suggesting them ahh, what the heck...

entering a race will give you a great target to work towards, and joining a club will help bring on your running so much! (plus you'll get to meet a few new people too!)

Time for you to find a race I think....
