Do most people prefer/think it's better to do daily short sessions (10 - 30 mins) or e.g. 2 x per week x 60 mins or more? The reason why I prefer the latter is that I find combining running and core difficult. Prefer to do my core on a non-running day. :-)G

I find it easier to do several short (10 mins) sessions a few times a week - it's less daunting than planning a full 60 mins or so. I would say that either route is fine, but the most important thing is to work out which best suits your life/training and do that :-)

I prefer shorter sessions, but am contemplating going to the gym tonight to do their 60min session.

I have however just eaten 2 slices of corned beef, a cheese scone with LOADS of butter and 2 choc biscuits! Ooops! :-o

I tried and failed to get into my yoga class today so tried to book in for next week while I was at it and at 9am this morning it was already full for next Friday lunchtime's class and there was ELEVEN people already on the waiting list ffs!!
I managed to book into the 7am longer yoga session next Friday morning instead and am going to bodypump at 6.30pm tonight as well as making sure I somehow get booked in for it next week too.

I would say turn up anyway, AW. I found with our Pilates classes that they're fully booked, but if I just ask teacher on the day she says I can squeeze in. And some bookers don't turn up. :-)G

I did a small amount of core as part of my weights session tonight but it was mostly upper body work. I don't usually do anything on a Friday other than eat pizza but I didn't run last night so I was feeling guilty.
