  • Another cyclist here - remember too that while cycling is a leg workout - you're extremely limited in range of motion, and plane of motion. You would be limiting yourself to just that one movement. I'd encourage keeping lower body strength, do it after or before a peloton ride as a warm up - or right after.
  • I'm boring - black coffee, hot. I'm a traditionalist :) For a special treat, a latte or cappuccino!
  • I've been tracking on and off since I started training - in the beginning and then when my workouts ramped up I backed off the food tracking, I didn't have much patience for it, tbh. About 6 weeks ago is when I realized I was gaining weight and started tracking again. You mention some things that get me thinking. I don't…
  • I have no idea how many miles I'll run in April - whatever my coach my has me run! But I'm always in for some extra accountability!
  • @kmulvey1976 Are you doing Texas? Wow... 6 weeks out!! Are you excited/terrified? I would LOVE to read a race report after the big day! How are you feeling? I'm 5 months out... so totally different place in training, but really trying to dial in my nutrition - I feel like I'm gaining. Could be some muscle increase (am…
  • Hello! I am signed up for IMWI 2022! First timer here :)
  • I like the idea of a check in with your Dr - just to get some bloodwork and make sure all is good in that area. First - CONGRATS on your success!! It sounds like you're doing incredible and you should be REALLY proud of what you've accomplished. Second - my personal opinion (I am a former personal trainer and have a degree…
  • wondering how one initiates the end of a marriage without making it exponentially worse. If that's possible.
  • Sounds like you might want to look at eating more, smaller meals. Maybe 3 meals instead of 2 - that would give you some fuel in the evening. Personally, I like to wake up a little bit hungry - but I do not like to go to bed hungry! Agree with others as well, look at your macros and see if you're getting enough healthy fat…
  • I'm assuming based on your original post that you're already incorporating push-up progression into your routine (incline pushups - against a wall, bench, countertop, etc.) You can also do reverse push ups - start in high plank and slowly lower to your belly. then stop, rest - and go back to high plank, repeat. I would…
  • Chickpeas are high in protein, I believe. Like a commenter above noted, you can find pasta made from chickpeas. You can also add them raw or roasted to salads, my husband loves to eat them roasted/crunchy with seasonings. You can also bake with them!
  • @mirianyusm That's awesome - great goals and sounds like a solid plan!! I considered doing a Half first but it felt like I was starting down the barrel of 2 years of training for IM, b/c the full is what I really want. So, same as you - hired a coach and here we go!! And you're right - NEVER too late!
  • I swam 2500 meters. I don't remember my specific warm up. Pre Set: 6x50's (25 Drill, 25 Swim) Main Set: 100, 75, 50, 25 (descending pace), 100, 200 moderate pace, 300 pull. (Repeat)
