awesome job, in order for you to make it to World Championship you had to win your age group or top %. You came a long way from the couch and lot of hard work. B) I completed my first full Ironman in September and started in the sport about 5 years ago with Sprint distance. Bragging rights to my other 53 year old friends.…

excellent job

trying different recipes for dinner. I found the site Skinnytaste.com and cooked two recipes. Stuffed eggplant parmesan and Enchilada chicken roll-ups. Family like both of them.

Great job on wanting to sign up in the Army. I retired as a CW4 so I know it can be a good starting point or a career. Your recruited should be helping you with workouts and tracking weight lose otherwise he/she can't get you in Army. Like others have mentioned start tracking what you eat and work outs. Stay motivated

I started overnight oats about 2 weeks ago before my long runs and bike rides. I found recipe on fit foodie. I use Quaker old fashion oats 1/2 cup, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, flax seed, dash cinnamon, dash honey and i scope of peanut butter. Let set over night. I do like it cold. I ate this before Ironman WI…

congrats on starting and finishing the 5k. Now the next one you finish you will get a PR because you will be faster. My pre race meal is overnight oats about 2 hours before race. Post race drink is chocolate milk, right amount of protein. keep improving

track food, when eating out try and bring some of the food home for next day lunch.

I agree with this type of fitting before spending on a good road bike. I was fitted for a TRI bike and the fitting took about an hour. 75% of the time was getting my measurement of hip and knee angles during peddle stroke, shoulder and back angles while leaning forward on handle bars. Then we picked bike based on my…

loose 2 more lbs and be under 200 lbs by end of April, first time in 25 years

I am thinking about using blue apron just for a couple of meals and recipe choices. I see you used them for 2 weeks and how do you like them.

like someone mentioned earlier PB and banana pre swim or run

as kids we played outside all day, McDonalds was a treat once a week

love thin mints, used to eat a sleeve and glass of milk, now only 4 at a time every other day until box is gone

awesome job

one of my training swims it breaks up just doing laps. You can put whatever distance you like. 100 Free easy pace, 50 kick easy, 100 free moderate, 50 kick, 100 faster, 50 kick (MS main set) 400 free constant pace Rest: 1 min 4 x 100 each 100 faster Rest: 1 min 3 x 100 2 x 100 (CD cool down) 200 easy I write workouts on…

like mentioned already, get fitted at a running store. no extra charge for fitting. they should show you if you have hot spots on bottom of foot, walk on treadmill to see how ankle moves during stride. good luck in training

can you try and only eat PB prior to your workouts? I have a spoonful before my run and swims. give energy and little fullness.

Life is too short, sign up and check off your bucket list. Use it as a Christmas or birthday gift.

MY Home on top bar, then pick Check in on lower bar

someone mentioned earlier about nutrition during race. Make sure to eat something an hour or so before race. My pre race meal is bagel with peanut butter. Make the night before at home, take to corral in morning. 1/2's are fun If you enjoy look for a 26.2 in fall, you are have trained so keep it up

follow the good advice from others with the C25K. Proper fitted shoes will make a difference on your feet. Good running store should measure stride and watch how your ankles and feet land on on your stride. Shoes will be for support, not fashion. enjoy running

good start

20 is also my goal, I just need to stick with it. I support you all the way to your 20

I have 935 for 2 TRI seasons and love it. I have the HR strap for running. HR for swim does not give you instant readings, have to wait until done swimming.

As a past marathoner, i learned to like running. I tell new runners to start small and work up to time or distance. If you walk for 30 minutes now break it up in 5 min segments. Walk 4 min at brisk pace Jog 1 min comfortable pace. Do that for 30 minutes every other day for a week. Rest days are good. Next week 3 min, Jog…

I had hip replaced at 48 and now 52. Make sure you complete physical therapy and take time getting back to exercising legs. Prior to replacement i completed 4 marathons. During therapy i also took up swimming and now really enjoy it. After 6 months i went back to running at slower pace and stayed off of running on…
