Second this! I like me (most of the time) and enjoy setting goals that inspire me to reach a higher potential.

How long do you plan to fast? If you're doing OMAD, I found the best time to eat my meal was in the evening, regardless of when I worked out...I found better quality sleep when I had a full stomach. If you're doing a time block, I would personally focus later in the day...maybe late lunch and dinner after you bike home…

To run marathon #3 in October after giving birth in late May.

Cutting out sodas....simply because I couldn't moderate them. I'd go through a six pack of MTN Dew in a day and the calories would add up. Replaced that with water and caffeine pills.

I trained my first marathon with ChiRunning...Danny has books that I had read previously and I was fortunate enough to be in the same city and participate in a training group. I don't know if he has a half plan, but I'm sure the full marathon plan could be adapted.

Instapot and Crockpot are amazing tools and you can find tons of recipes on Pinterest! Find a handful of recipes you like and rotate through them based on the local grocery sales. If you meal plan for the week it will make sticking to your and your family's homemade meals much easier. Bodyweight exercises are a good place…

Dimetapp. And a run to shake it all loose.

Do you have a local running store? Many of them have programs for beginner runners/group runs that are free...some even do C25K.

I run regardless....I've raced with diagnosed flu. The only two things that stop my run are the runs or migraines.

As a long distance runner, my advice is choose what you enjoy. If you really enjoy running or challenging yourself...go for distance. If you want to get it over with, stick with shorter distance and speed. Try signing up for races of different lengths, set goals, train for those goals and stick with what's most fun for…

The first thing that comes to mind is hydration and rest...have either of these changed? If you're well rested and well hydrated, I would suggest starting out your run at a slower pace and gradually increasing as you warm up. If you start feeling exhausted, slow your pace (even if you have to walk), recover, and pick up…

I've had two concussions...the first in college playing rugby and I was out of contact sports for six weeks. However, after about a week I was back to running and working out, although a bit slower than usual. Second concussion, I was in my first job training and had to power through physical training so that I didn't get…

Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches are super easy and we'll balanced.

Ran a marathon last month at 14 weeks and have continued powerlifting. Will be running a half marathon at seven months. Two of my obs are long distance runners and I've had their blessing.
-
I have a headlamp (Nathan) so I can see ahead of me and shoe lights clipped so drivers can see me
-
I would vomit if I tried to eat those ...just can't do icing.
-
A distraction that busys you.... something you enjoy doing that's active or requires your full attention. Or take a nap.

Caffeine pills are a great substitute for the usual cups of tea or coffee. Just pop one with water (you can get them at Walmart) in the morning and then whenever you feel the need for caffeine throughout the day.
-
I'm cheap... I have Strava downloaded on my phone and sync the two apps
-
I used to get terrible migraines while exercises...I also never used to sweat. I would take a large number of ibuprofen prior to exercise so I could prevent the migraine and finish my workout. One day, I just starting pouring sweat during my workout and haven't had migraine issues since. I think it was a matter of my body…

I take in more carbs the night before long runs, keep hydrated (Body Armour is the best), and if it's hot, my Nathan running vest goes along...half water/half Body Armour. There are also jelly bellys and ibuprofen in my running vest. If the aid stations have Coke, it's a great boost! Pizza is my night before race meal.

Power cage, Olympic bar, plates, bench.
-
Walnuts, Mango, and fresh (but not canned) pineapple are the culprits for me. It's actually how my walnut allergy started and then progressed...I was told by a paramedic if it had continued it could have led to anaphylaxis. I'd advise to try to find your allergy source so you can eliminate it.
-
I replace my Brooks about every year...I wear them until they're pretty much falling apart on my feet (not recommended, I know). My Salomon trail runners every two years or so...I do less trail running now, so they get less use.
-
Side bends with dumbbells or plates, woodchoppers, crossbody cable (or band) pulls.

Coffee Mate Artisan Creamer is delicious...it doesn't take much and it's delicious! A protein powder of your choice also makes a nice creamer.
