I know this isn't a substitute, but try Yay Math on YouTube. There's lectures from a cool? math teacher on specific topics up to pre calc. It helped my daughter when she struggled.

Thank you!

I enjoy getting whip cream in a can an spraying it in a bowl and it seems like ice cream then.

The Tunnel marathons advertise as Pr and are downhill. I recommend looking at the Whistlestop marathon, which is in October. It is also downhill and you could BQ in it also. I ran that half in 2018 and it was beautiful. Red maple leaves fell around me as I ran on the old railroad track, now filled in with crushed stone.

Kale chips come to mind. Take raw kale and break the leaves from the stems. Wash it. Heat oven to 350f. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Put kale leaves on paper. Spray with Pam on all sides. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and a bit of salt. Bake for 15 minutes until crisp

Can you enroll in some local races, participate in parkruns, or join a local running group? I think if you run 2 or 3 5ks or other distances, you may understand your pace. For me personally, my 5k pace is a minute per mile or two faster than my half marathon pace.

I did the WhistleStop Half in Ashland WI this past October. The city is on Lake Superior. It was a beautiful hard packed trail run. It was like running on the road without cars. I was offered beer at miles 9 and 12 by college students. There was a nice spaghetti dinner the night before. I ran through a forest with colorful…

Yes, when I trained for a half, I was hungry all the time. And, I felt all the miles caused some water retention as there was some inflammation. When we run long distances, we need to refuel. Are you doing gu or something similar?

Look at the Jeff Galloway method of marathon training. I've done half marathons in this fashion. You run for a certain amount of time and then walk. Run, walk, run. You can't go too slow on your training runs. Eventually as you ramp up your miles *slowly* to prevent injury, your cardio base will improve. For over 5 miles,…

I can run 13 miles (7 more miles than a 10 k), but I'm still 20 lbs overweight. I have questions regarding the logic of OP. I guess I'm healthy? I could be healthier?

The runger is real.

Three years ago, I was 215 lbs and started to run. I did intervals and used Zombies! Run! App to keep my interest. I joined a free, very supportive running group. I was at 14 minute mile when I ran for 2 miles. People at the run club said...so are you going to be back next week? We want you back next week. Agreeing to it…

I ate a package of goldfish crackers and had a foot long Subway sandwich with mayo yesterday. I gained 3lbs yesterday. :(

I admire your discipline. After 6 to 10 miles, I'm ready to eat all the food. I need to figure your question out also.

I'm using one of Hal Hidgon plans that has speed work, long distances, and cross training.

My goal is to finish and it will be a PR for me as it's my first half. I have a feeling that I'll be doing some walking intervals during the race. Perhaps I'll be more concerned about the time for future races. I really appreciate everyone's thoughts on this topic for the past few days. I can see a pattern with the logic.…

I think my longest training run is 10 miles. I'm doing a Hal Higdon plan.

Thank you! I appreciate it

Get some garbanzo bean flour and make some baked or iron waffle falafel. Or, you can make a pancake with it. Or, you can thicken a veggie soup.

I use saute to get the milk up to 180f as the boil function on yogurt button didn't work quick enough.

Yogurt. The books don't mention about steralizing the pot or tools. This is important so you don't incubate unfun microbes. https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-yogurt/

Thank you! You all have given me great information and new skills! Chronic pain is a bummer and I think I have a new plan including not having junk at home, setting out easy healthy food, not snacking between meals, and continue to move. Being gentle to myself will be key.

Hi! I'm a vegetarian also and struggle with protein with respect to training. First, a PT isn't a dietician. Also, even when I hit my protein for the day, my carbs are high. I can't eat plain yogurt all the time and black beans taste mighty good. But, I'm wondering the same question as you. I would need to look at a chart…

And a real MD would make the diagnosis instead of a DC.

Run, Selfie, Repeat

Be sure to properly hydrate the day and night before a race. The day of, don't over do it, however.

Thank you!

I wasn't sure if paying for a service helped people stay motivated.

This is my favorite IT band stretch video. https://youtu.be/x30rjVT-TLo I am having the same issue and I stopped running for 2 weeks. I did some cycling in the interim and stretched every day. You may want to meet with a trainer to get a plan in place when the pain stops or mostly stops.

Run, selfie, repeat is a good podcast.
