I used to exclusively run during my marathon training and found like you @NorthCountryDreamer that it was easy to overtrain. Now I have started to incorporate cycling and off road running into the mix. Feel better and able to recover for the longer runs. So I probably run 4-5 days a week and cycle 3. Just me. I'm 59 so my…

I live in Southern Alberta Canada where we get strong winds and some real cold days this time of year. A good base layer and tights by Patagonia work very well for me. I also have some Sport Hill running tights that would do what you are asking for.

Hi I'm a Canadian guy who has some experience with distance running. From 40-50 I completed 10 marathons. I live in Lethbridge AB near the Rocky mountains. Over the last year I have gotten back into the longer runs and have incorporated X-training cycling and hiking. As today is my birthday I'm considering setting a goal…

Something to consider in cold weather is the change in the cushioning of your shoes. As the temp drops so does the cushioning effect of your runners. Ice is always a challenge as we often get Chinooks which melt the snow turing paths into ice. When this happens I add Yak Trax to my runners to make the my footing secure.…

All of the above advice is great and depending on your circumstances you should do what you think best. I have found that stretching helps but the best cure is some cross training. Since I have added cycling to my exercise regime I don't stretch as often and have no issues with my IT band. For now I would take some…

As a retired teacher i will tell you that you will never be wealthy in the material sense working as a teacher but you will have the reward of being a learner throughout your career and beyond. You will learn as much from your students as they do with you. You sound like you have a passion for working with kids so go for…

You know its all about motivation and discipline. A good friend said there are only two good times to go running. "When you want to and when your don't". Today's morning temp was -20C (not sure what that is in Fahrenheit anymore) and it was hard getting started but after about 10 minutes or so I was fine. The great thing…

If I cheer for the Leafs can I join? Oilers fan out west!

I think you should look at as a reward for being disciplined about your diet and exercise. Updating your wardrobe because of lost weight should be a motivator.

Your not true hockey fan unless you can stick with a team through the tough times. As an Oliers fan have to respect those who hang with the Leafs. Supported the Oilers when they were great and remained a fan though the lean times of the past 3,4,5..... years.

I too like this thread. Its about community and thats what I find with all of my fitness activities. People are always supportive. I also enjoy the solitude of a 2 hour run or a 70K ride, After focussing on running for more than a decade this time I incorporated road biking into my regime and it has had huge benefits as I…

I think thats a great idea especially if it motivates you and helps you reach your goal. Not sure how accurately the app translates the exercise into calories.
