The Weekly Round Up #3 - Here's some good stuff from the past week. I've recently started a new fitness programme at the gym so let's call this week's the "Keeping Fit" edition.

Nike Pegasus+ 30 Shield - So I've decided to join the gym on a direct debit basis, well I say "decided" but technically they've forced me into it with their ridiculous price increase. I don't want to end up with a Chandler Bing situation on my hands so I'm making the most out of the facilities. My aim is modest, at 3 times per week but I think it will suit me quite well. Over the last few years I've been trying harder to keep fit and I'm at a place where I'm quite with my progress, but this week I've switched it up and starting something new. My bloody legs are killing me!

With a new routine comes a new push on running. Currently I'm just "ok" at it but I don't find myself enjoying it. Hopefully these new Nike Pegasus+ 30 from SportsShoes.com will give me the nudge I need. They're my second pair from the Nike Shield Pack, but give a totally different ride to the Free Run. They're much more supportive around the upper, have a hefty amount of cushioning around the heel and feel almost springy on impact. As with the rest of the Shield Pack, the Pegasus has a reflective and water resistant outer.

H&M Leggings - I picked up these a few weeks ago in Manchester, they cost me a £5 note. I don't tend to spend much on the running gear so I snapped these up in a shot. Perfect for under shorts in the winter and light reflective on the thigh.

Fruit - Yup I'm big on fruit, love the stuff. In fact, I eat 2/3 bananas each day. "How do I get it all in" you say? I blend the heck out of it.

What have you guys been enjoying this week then and do you have any running tips?
