Does anyone use Instagram to track their runs/ nutrition etc?

I know ju-ju- does because I follow her there, and I know lots of runners from the Did You Run Today group do, but interested to see how many here.

All this social meeja thing is fairly new to me, I confess. I hitherto assumed it was something kids and celebrities did but since I have been switched on to it am amazed at how much fitness and nutrition stuff is there, and what a good source of daily inspiration it is.

Plus dogs, obviously.

I am on there as

Perhaps we could have a C25k Instagroup?

I have no idea what you just said... Was that even English?

[Wannaberoadrunner Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I thought it was just me that thought that.

[Nobbywatts Graduate in reply to Wannaberoadrunner]

Yeah me too. It was just a series of clicks and hoots ...

[poppypug Graduate]

Not me , its taken me over 5 years to get on Facebook ! xxx

[Likac66 Graduate]

I'm on there - I use it for Slimming World mostly. I log my runs and it is mostly my health and fitness log with the occasional other post. My account is amandah1973_sw

[roseabi]

I'm there, although I post all sorts instagram.com/abiferret/

[Rignold in reply to roseabi]

This may sound an odd question but did you used to be on the Its Not Easy Being Green forum?

[roseabi in reply to Rignold]

No, not me!

[Rignold in reply to roseabi]

Ah, sorry.

Other than WhatsApp, LinkedIn for work and this Forum, these are currently my only form of Social Media. Happy to keep it that way.

I left Facebook 2 years ago, I did not post too much on it but the constant meaningless drivel from others on it was just too much. People I knew and liked just came across sometimes as being Narcissistic. It has put me off, I prefer to live in the real world. Leaving was a great thing. I don't miss it. Never tried twitter or instagram. This forum is an excellent resource and I am so delighted I came across it. Populated with very friendly people too.

[Hidden in reply to damienair]

And none of us are at all narcissistic........

[Whatsapp Graduate in reply to damienair]

Ha ha me too. I got fed up of looking at photos people posted of their dinner 🍱🍛🍲🍜

[Jomarie1979 Graduate in reply to Whatsapp]

They're the best pics 😀

[runlikeagirl Graduate]

What next? FaceTime group runs with our phones pointing at us on selfie sticks? 😲🤔🤔

[Rignold]

Oh well. My bad. I'll just go back and preen with my other self obsessed narcissist friends then.

[Hidden in reply to Rignold]

And my comment was about me!

[runlikeagirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

We know. It was just banter as was my comment x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Rignold]

I love Instagram,but only use it to post pikkies of things which, a bit like ju-ju- allow my creative spirit to run wild... I post food piks... because I am a foodie freak... but not on Instagram

[runlikeagirl Graduate]

I actually liked the idea of a FaceTime running group!! I'm patenting a selfie stick head band attachment as I type.

It's probably a great idea Rignold but as a mid 50 something I'm A bit (no. Totally) mystified by instagram to be honest

[misswobble Graduate]

Oooh I am hopeless with all,that stuff. I'm must admit to tittering at your post Rig and Hel's response 😁

I am being chivvied about joining the run group peeps on what's app but I don't want to have to keep remembering sodding passwords all the goddam time. Not another one?

Sorry for cursing. I don't usually 😃

I had a full blown row with my new phone the other day while out on the trail It keeps asking me to input numbers. Whaaaat. How the feck do I know that? I shall extract my Filofax to check 🙄🙄🙄 by the time I stabbed in the digits I could remember it ran,out of data 😁 I had to phone Annie Murph for help. If I join any more groups,I,will need my own hotline

I think that's a no then 😊

[damienair Graduate]

I am falling way behind with Tech, especially social media. I just don't get it. Thankfully my wife feels the same. i have no problem with it, other than i just don't get it. I have become a 43 year old dinosaur.

[ju-ju- Graduate]

I love Instagram as it's my only creative outlet... I have 2 accounts which I know is odd, but one is for running and the other for my alter ego. I'm a very visual person so it works for me. Even better I get to follow my kids, and my daughter has quite a following so I need to keep an eye..... Rignold I think you've raised a great point and it's so good that we are all so different in terms of our interaction with SM.

[Abergrad in reply to ju-ju-]

What's your instagram name?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

I use Pinterest more. My Dad keeps trying to get me on instagram but I am running out of spare time as it is 😀.

[Rickne Graduate]

I use mine for a range of things. Probably not food. It's in my gob before I can take a photo to be honest. I'm on as Rickneig if you want to track my sweaty photos.

[Mummytotwo Graduate]

I dip in and out but I follow you

[Abergrad]

Hey I joined it recently! Im following some other people doing C25k. Like it way more than fb which does contain a load of rubbish.

I'm will recheck this thread and add all you guys later today when more awake...

I'm "Lindy explores". Going to use it to post about my "Camino" 775km walk I plan to start in September.

[LDS1961]

I love Instagram but that's because I'm basically nosey 😂😂😂😂

Sadly I don't think anyone would get very motivated looking at my photos........although anyone is more than welcome to (lyn snowling), my Labradors love all the 'likes' 🐶🐶👍🏻

[Shivani05 Graduate]

I'm on as shivzoid (just followed you). My Instagram is basically work and running/gym, because that's all I do!
