This answer might depend on your current weekly mileage & the cumulative mileage you've ran in the past 4 weeks, but try to keep your rest days. It's possible to cross train on your interval or short easy run days. I find it best to do the hardest activity first in the AM, and the easier activity in the PM. If you only can…

Log it, it's worth it. Other sacrifices can be made. But I need my 3 tablespoons of coffeemate per 16 oz of coffee. I can set a clock to it.

For that device, I think so.

My advise is to work out early if working out late isn't inspiring, before you go to your first job. Waking up early might suck, but it sucks less than trying to do it after you are already exhausted from 2 jobs and the feeling from not working out at all. Good luck

I'm more or less doing cardio exclusively now, but when I did more lifting I never found lifting boring. Doing the same circuit at the same weights can get boring, but if you are doing a progression plan there's the challenge of lifting ever increasing weights, potentially failing sets, breaking through plateaus, etc. If…

If you use a HRM for pace maintenance, like keeping your easy runs easy... it'll do the job. If you are using HRM to target Jack Daniels Repetition intervals like 6x200m... It's horrible for this. Also it's bad for hill repeats. Cruise intervals aren't so bad, you just have to know your pace. While that kind of defeats the…

I'm also a fan of Endomondo, but for different reasons. I use a Garmin forerunner and it syncs with Endomondo. Endomondo uses Garmin data as Garmin sends it. Unlike Strava it does not apply its own calorie estimation or auto-pause. It pulls the data exactly as Garmin has. Also it tracks any split of x distance as a…

While no food has a secret ingredient or component to make fat disappear, your appetite's reaction to food can vary. For me, virtually no amount of starchy food satisfies my appetite. I can eat a gargantuan amount of enriched bread, rice & pasta, and still want more. If I do so, it's harder to get myself to stop eating,…

I think that's a decent strategy. As long as total burned > total consumed you'll lose weight. You can lose weight by eating 50% 100% or any % of exercise calories as long as you also always eat under whatever maintenance happens to be.

Even though it ends The examples don't eat a set % based on combined maintenance & exercise. The examples eat a set % based on maintenance and then adds exercise. The strength training examples adds 250, the cardio example adds 500. In other words, they are eating exercise calories back. I surprised no one who commented on…

I can run on tired legs, but lifts break down on tired legs/core. So I lift first.

If I did 60 8-count burpees in 5 minutes... that's only 81 calories. Not bad for 5 minutes of effort, but if I can run for an hour that's 600-700. I find it easier to do lower intensity cardio for a much longer duration for a greater calorie burn.

There's a significant difference between standing & seated. The correct answer isn't fewer people doing exercises that require adjustable height racked equipment, but the gym recognizing the need for more adjustable height racked free weight equipment in the first place. How many isolation machines sit idle while people…

To all the people that say it's wrong, where are you supposed to OHP? You can't do an OHP from a bench.

Age Grade for comparison. At a 26min 5k PR, I think the best thing a person can do is simply run more.

1. If these are easy base building miles, I'd go right back to 40, but allow myself more variance concerning pace. 2. No as duration increases heart rate drifts upward. Training for longer distances allows you to condition yourself to become more comfortable as the distance increases.

There's nothing wrong with running daily. If that's what you are doing, I would use that to your advantage. I would follow the Daniels approach to base building. Every four weeks, add 1 mile to your weekly mileage for every day you run. So after your third week of running ~20 miles a week, jump up to 27 miles a week for…

For me, the aftertaste nags me to eat more stuff. While I use some artificial sweeteners I have to drown it afterward with something to actually fill me.

22-23 hours of day of not running, decent sleep, & nutrition- allows me to run daily. I have three days out of the week that are hard or long days, and 4 days just for easy running and recovery running. A daily commitment to running helps me make sure making time for running, which also means I have time for family, work,…

SL places more emphasis on your chest, back, quads, and hamstrings. Your arms and calfs won't get hit as often, and to a degree your core as well. It's more of a strength program than a bodybuilding/hypertrophy program. You have 24 wees though. My suggestion is do SL for three months and then switch to Ice Cream Fitness…

I think you'll notice some change in 3-4 weeks. If you have an idea of how much you could lift before starting the program, you'll notice your strength will go up more that packing on muscle mass. StrongLifts is more about strength over hypertrophy.

http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/jason-blaha-ice-cream-fitness-5x5-novice-workout It's a lot of volume for a novice weight lifting program. You should eat a lot and make sure you are getting enough protein. But for people who want to start lifting heavy to look better, it's a better program than other 5x5 programs…

If StrongLifts is your primary exercise program you follow, I'd follow the deload protocal. If you fail 5x5 reps of the same exercise on two consecutive sessions, reduce weight 10%. If you have to deload twice, drop volume to 3x5. If StrongLifts is a secondary exercise regime for you, then don't deload but reduce volume to…

Because it needs to be repeated.

Move to a barbell, and see where your max lifts fit.
