Jules72 Any pointers / recommendations on things to watch / read for a novice?

      Smallman1 good shout - it’s def a bit more chilled than the “tops off” disc 2.

        303abuser yeah running helps me big time…. I’ve used it to get through very difficult times so I totally know what you mean… you’ll be through this soon enough 👍

            wrongun yep I learnt via the headspace app - it has a really good tutorial. During my divorce my stress levels were so intense and my insomnia so bad that I was meditating 30-45 mins a day in 15 min blocks… if you stay disciplined and stick to it it, I think it works. It can be a month or two before you see good results though

              Jules72 two months ago i could do 13 km in just under an hour. today, 2 km in 20 minutes followed by a one hour nap. 😅

                  The cure, lads. Less minerals, more cabbage (explains Si’s tip top shape).

                    Turbo cabbage soup no doubt means turbo toots. No bed sharing on that diet. Extra calories burned through regular super rippers.

                    A lol for Jonatton.

                    I would be a terrific looking lass too.

                    303abuser Bugger I’m averaging 12 mins per km on my walks. lol. And quite happy with that too!

                        Thank you Sir.
                        Thankfully I’m on the mend. The pain is receding on a daily basis.

                          rhouses haha keep at it. 10 years ago i was running 7 minute kms, by last fall i was down to 4:45, but i also work my ass off to keep fit. i was happy with my 5 km walk this morning, for perspective.

                              Dubman back pain is awful, especially with everything else on top of that. hope you’re doing better soon.

                                  The back pain although bad was not a patch compared to the pain of Shingles.

                                      Dubman i didn’t realize shingles were that bad, sorry to hear that.

                                        Back pains are shite… my last one last a few months - was so difficult to shake off

                                        On Magnesium Citrate I’ve been taking these:

                                        https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/solgar-magnesium-citrate-tablets-60001409?skuid=005646&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-8rY2vP59QIV2OvtCh0kvADfEAQYASABEgKpBfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

                                        The recommended dose is 2 × 200mg tablets per day (which is the RDA)… I found though I was feeling tired during the day, so moved down to one tablet (200mg) a day and feel much better, and am sleeping well… Pretty impressed - I’m sleeping 30-45 mins a night more on average, which makes a big difference. Still have the occasional blip if something stressful going on, but definitely a big improvement

                                          magnesium is good stuff, glad it’s helping you sleep.
