are you a member of a running club ??
a bloke i used to run with joined one and i think he only ran with them once a week,but he didn't half improve !!

[Nigel_Benn]

Yes im a member of a Triathlon club and i run with them once a week and i have found i have improved greatly because im mesuaring myself against experienced and excellent runners and more then holding my own and its given me alot of confidence.

Why not?

[turpinr]

Why not?

i'm not criticizing ,i'm just asking because i always had trouble combining weights with other sports .ie boxing,running cycling and wondered about the benefits.its too fuckin' late now anyway !!

Six times a day, whole natural foods rich in nutrients. Same as for any other activity, the amount of calories is what varies depending on your goals.
