All very good feedback indeed! Thank you very much for a stimulating discussion. In the future, if I have the resources available to m, I would definitely have it tested! I am in training for Ironman Triathlon and yes I agree LT is also a good test! I need to research more on these topics!

Thank you, @lporter229 I am not 100% sure where the root fracture might be. Might be 4th or 5th metatarsalia. The pain stems from the baby toe metatarsal region and then radiates throughout the forefoot and into the arch. When the doctor applies pressure with his hands I did not feel much pain however anytime I walk the…

An argument can be made by a more experieced individual that Vo2 max can definitely be a useful metric for endurance sports.

From what I understand, the VO2 max is a genetic factor. However with training it can be increased 15 - 20% and some individuals may never even tap into their true VO2.

Yes cold weather running tights for sure!

LOL !!!

I used to live in Edmonton AB, (Canada) and winters would easily reach -25°C to -30°C while I was maintaining a dicipline running schedule. Try some stronger material for your jacket choice and maybe try some layers. Also, the head is where you will lose majority of body heat so try wearing a touque or ear muffs (if you…

Great read and good insight!

And what is your stance on topic? Is what "they" say "crapola" ??

What is your scientific proof that breakfast is not the most important meal of the day?

There are so many products (foam rollers) out there for purchase. I just use a basic light blue foam roller and also a "handheld" roller (looks like a rolling pin) that allows for more manipulation in tight spots. Trigger Point ( https://www.tptherapy.com/ ) has great products and so many varieties, for example, there are…

I hired magician who also juggles to entertain me while I run.

Or woman... I'm not sure ^

You da man excellent post ;)

Good luck mate! Looks to me like you know what you're doing!!

A very interesting topic indeed they say breakkyy is the most important meal of the day.

I watch numbers :) I like it

How about working with a gym company and providing an "x" number of months for a free gym membership. Watches Wireless Speaker Yoga Mat Free Consultation with a Nutritionist Restaurant gift card (nice fancy place) Wine Tasting Excursion Meh best I got.

The formula is stress + recovery = fitness Just gauge how you feel based on your other life obligations. @jeepinshawn said it very simply. To keep the body active try out some recovery swimming perhaps? This is just very easy swimming that allows the body to stay active with low impact environment that the pool offers. I…

What is this thing you call "shower" ?

Buy some cool gear to keep you motivated! Looking good is feeling good ;)

Keep up the good fight. Be patient all good things come in time!

Bagel with cream cheese Egg Sammy with cheese and optional protein e.g bacon Eggs make you feel satiated and rich in nutrients! ..... Or Eggs and cheese with a side of baby spinach and a warm cuppa Joe

Aww chin up OP :) Do not be discourage but instead work harder toward your goals so that you can enjoy some days when there is a free food. Try out some cycling on the cardio bike. In 1 hour you can burn anywhere from 500 - 1000 calories relative to the intensity you put up.

Also check out a Eucalyptus Oil that you can apply to your chest after your running... taking deep breaths and remember to relax your breathing

Amazing all the best of luck. During your training mix it up with some interval training, hill train and Long steady state sessions as well. Pacing is crucial so take a look at that as well! Find a pace that you can sustain without bonking or hitting the wall.

Would it be prudent to run at least three of those apps at the same time and then see which are given similar data?

I personally have no experience with VO2 max testing. Eventually I'd like to have that tested once my fitness levels improve.

It's like marriage isn't it? ;) Keep going. You can do it. Buy yourself fitness clothes or toys that will keep things interesting and fun. For example when I bought my foam roller I was inspired to workout and self massage after workouts. Then I bought some really nice Under Armour running clothes and I was excited to wear…
