:wave: sporty people, Do you like running? Or have you just signed up to marathon and need some practice? YouthNet (the charity behind TheSite.org) have some places in the British 10K on 8th July in Central London, check out the website for all the details: www.thebritish10klondon.co.uk :thumb: All our places have a fundraising target of £350 (inc a £40 reg fee) but as it is short...

When I lived in Wales I used to do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu I got a blue belt and I really enjoyed the training and I made friends there too but I moved away a few months ago so sadly I had to give it up. Now I'm living in Bristol, I'v been looking for a new place to train Jiu-jitsu I couldn't find anywhere but I did find a very cool MMA gym which is just up the road from me. I think I could do it...

I have a half marathon at the end of June and really need start thinking (many are 12 or 16 weeks) what plan I'm going to use. I also have some races during my training too. I've been told this shouldn't be too hard to slot in with the training. How did people decide which one they went for? I've come across some which are based on distance, (but never go above 11 - 12 miles) some are based on...

with the new season of football starting really soon, who will you all be supporting.

I have hypermobile joints, and after getting my second injury from ju jistsu I was told that I really really can't do high impact sports. I really want to get back into doing some sport I need to loose weight but I need somethings that I can do without going to a gym or the pool. So what can I do thats not high impact? Preferably low - no impact

Am I correct in thinking that some people did Royal Parks Half last year? According to Mencap's Facebook page, the ballot is now open. I might do this one. What is the route like, please?

I've been running for 3 months now and am loving it... I'm training for a half marathon in September and a marathon next April... I'm currently on 10K... I'm thinking about leaving the gym, as it eats up my money. I have kettlebell weights and know exercises I can do and would like to focus on running... Would this be a good idea?

So guys, piccolo's idea, but here is a running thread, partially for those getting ready for that half marathon in 30 weeks, but anyone else who wants to take it up.

I started running around March last year and I've ran the Bristol Half Marathon in early September and the Great Eastern Run half marathon in mid October... Thing is, since then, relationship plus extremely busy life meant I stopped training (crap excuse I know, though I'm single now)... The past week I've been hitting the gym again to reclaim my fitness... I had a place in the Brighton...

If England ars bidding for the 2018 world cup, do we know where the 2014 one is going to be yet?

ok so i've been a member of an expensive gym for the past year. not used it that much and am over a stone heavier than this time last year. it has a swimming pool which is mostly what i have used, but really that is more of a relaxing treat for me as i dont swim fast, just more crawl up and down the lanes for around an hour, just chilling. to those of you who know about exercise, does this...

Has anyone done it? I used to be really into martial arts, stunt kite flying, bodyboarding, and such before I started uni, and before I gave myself injuries to my right psoas bursa (jujitsu, it nearly burst), my right adductors (same accident), and my rotor cuff muscles of my left shoulder (after using crutches for 12 weeks and then going back to jujitsu, this hasn't totally repaired itself),...

Ok, sort of moving away from the football team threads and stuff :P But has anyone done Kickboxing before? If so what do you exactly do and what is it like? I was told to do kickboxing as a distraction and a way to vent. I wasn't going to look into it, but I saw a few things and it looks quite fun, any more information? :)

I'm looking to take up a self-defence/martial arts class, as the winters draw in. I wanna feel more confident that if I'm attacked in the street, I can get away with as little harm to myself as possible (I don't care about harming the attacker, but I don't want a criminal record!)... In my area I have different classes such as kung fu, karate, akido, jijitsu, mixed martial arts, muay thai,...

Well if they were not being considered before the match, the 8-2 thumping at the hands of Man Utd today will mean that its a reasonable to high chance. Has been a good day for northern teams all round Id say.

Given that I'm walking my Race for Life, it's probably no good me posting in the running thread.

A funny Video

Which one do you support? I support Barc:thumb::de!

Awesome result http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13418508.stm

Anyone got any suggestions for music thats good for running to. Ive been listening to Rob Zombie while running recently and its got a good beat for running, but wouldnt mind some more suggestions. Most stuff on my ipod isnt really right for it. need new stuff

Hey boys and girls :D. I got my annual 'ohai, you did the Royal Parks half marathon that one time, you wanna do it again?' email from Youthnet today and I think I might actually go for it this year. Get some use out of those sodding running trainers, maybe ask mum if I can set up the treadmill in my old bedroom when there's no guests around... But I need motivation. And what better motivation...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/21/real-madrid-player-drops-cup-under-bus Exuberant Real Madrid footballers rode triumphantly back into town on Thursday morning with the Spanish cup in their hands, but then accidentally dropped it from the top of a double-decker bus – which ran over it.
