Training Progress/Nike+ App Review
Just thought I'd let everyone know about my training progress so far. Slowly getting back into running and cardio with a mix of spin, treadmill running and concrete/trail running. For those who don't know, concrete running is one of the toughest types of running as it is damaging on joints and muscles. This reason alone requires a slow build up on the distance and pace that you run so that your body becomes accustomed to the force of the road. In my opinion, the only app I use for running is the Nike+ running app, which is by far the best app to measure runs. This app uses location services to measure the distance and pace that you run. When headphones are connected, runners get a mile by mike or km by km update through the Nike coaches, telling you the pace of the km or mile, keeping you motivated as you run. The good thing is, music apps or libraries can be used at the same time so you can run and keep updated on your distance and pace. I will attach a photo to the post on my progress so far. Over the past few weeks I have been mixing treadmill running with concrete running due to injury with an average of 2.5 km per run. It will take time and I will keep this page up to date on my progress.
MyProtein Review
The website also offers several accessories that you might need during your workout including their own clothing line which is reasonably priced. The reason that the website is so popular is probably due to the fact that MyProtein constantly advertise offers on their website which is also emailed to others. For example, they often have 70% off everything on their website. Students also are offered a 10% discount on their orders at all times.
For those who are new to fitness and working out, MyProtein has several videos on their website to offer workouts. The videos are extremely helpful and can give people advice and guidance if they don't know what to do. Check it out for yourselves, I highly recommend it.

The Great Scottish Run 2016
The great Scottish Run is an event based in Glasgow. The run is aimed to raise money for several charities which is entirely up to the runner. I am entering the race myself to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The reason for me doing this is due to the fact that I have a family member that has been diagnosed with Cancer. Last year attracted over 30,000 runners taking part in the race, running either 5k, 10k or a half marathon. People do this for many reasons, whether it is for fitness goals or raising money for charity. This years half marathon is taking place on the 2nd of October 2016 and will start in George Square and will weave its way through the streets of Glasgow, over the Kingston Bridge, up into Pollok Park then through the park leading down towards Bellahousten Park. The run then leads through the park and back down towards the River Clyde, eventually finishing in Glasgow Green. The course itself is 13.1 miles long or 22 kilometers.A substantial amount of training will have to be put in on my part as this is no easy task. I have started my training slowly, which I will include in later posts on my progress. If I progressively increase the distance that I run, I know that I will be able to finish strong if I stay on track. I plan to raise around £500 for Cancer Research UK. I have created a JustGiving page in order to raise money which I will link to below and If anyone would be willing to donate, then it would be very much appreciated.
Throughout my training I will use apps such as Nike Running to measure my progress. This way I can compare the statistics over a period of time to show how far I have come.
