Thanks so much for the link. Have it bookmarked and will be getting one. It sounds really good as well. I'm willing to try anything at this stage

That's the way to do it. Walk at a pace between regular distances, e.g. lamposts, then ease off for the same distance.

I find setting your own goals increases motivation too. If you've got a smartphone try downloading the app from endomondo.com. You can track your "workouts", whether it's walking, cycling, running or a number of other sports... and track your own record. It's not 100% accurate but close enough if you're wanting to record your improvements.

Good link TM. I'd heard of these to help the fairer sex when they're in labour but I hadn't thought of other applications.

They can be used to help ease pain on most part's of the body LR,
but they are not recomended in certain case's, ie:- if You have a pacemaker, and other things

quite a few pain management clinics issue TENS machines, they can be highly effective combined with other pain relieving measures. I last used one before my left hip was replaced, it certainly helped and well worth a try.

If I were to say that it's a perfectly safe product that I highly recommend and someone with a slightly dodgy ticker were to have some and keel over it wouldn't be ideal.

Ah,the old ephedrine! :D

Thank you for clearing that up! :)

The old ephedrine plus caffeine to offer a slightly wider based kick and aspirin or similar to slow down the body's compensatory responses to the stimulant.

When I feel pain or discomfort I just ease off. I've tried to run through pain previously but it just prevents you from exercising for an extended period. The "tortoise" kilometre today was 70 seconds slower than my "hare" kilometre because my knee was acting up. It was also slower than the kilo that had a fairly steep hill in it .... and I hate hills!!

Good advice, but if i was to listen to my body i'd get nothing done lol
