I have problems losing weight with Crohn's too. I cut out a bag of candy per day and still gained. I switched to almond milk and rarely eat food I don't prepare myself. Stopped gaining. Finally I started juicing. Not for weight loss, but as a way to get some fruits and veggies in my diet. I can't eat veggies either. I can…

Some of the Polar HRM's come with a foot pad that tracks your distance. It would be a little over $200 I think. Otherwise check out mapmyrun.com I use that site to track my mileage, and (I haven't done this yet) you can download your HRM info from Nike and Polar right into the site. You just click on the map to map out…

First of all, don't heat your muscles after a run. Use ice instead. It'll help ease the aches better. Second, are you stretching those muscles after you run? If I don't strech after I run or jog, then I get really sore too. For the inner thighs try laying on your back on the floor, bend your knees and put the bottoms of…

Do you have good shoes? You probably over did it, but the farther and faster you run the more important it is to have good shoes. You can get lots of leg problems if you don't have good shoes. Also, I've read lots of training advice on running and they say not to increase your speed and distance too much each week, even if…

Which is nice if you are an unusual size. About $40. Most sports stores carry them, but otherwise you can order from barenecessities.com. (my favorite…

I go to runningplanet.com for my training plans. I am working on 10K too. They have plans for different levels (recreational, beginning competitor, advanced, and even your first 10K) And for different distances too. I'd check them out and see if they have one that matches your skill and what you want to do. The first time…

When you bought your shoes, did you go somewhere they tested to see how you ran? If not, I would try that or just get on a treadmill and run slow. Pay attention if you run on the inside of your feet (overpronation), your full foot, or on the outside (underpronation). I run on the inside of my feet and got shoes that have…

Ok. I've been looking around on-line for the difference, and here's what I understand. The heart rate montior measures how many additional calories you burn during exercise. This is above and beyond the calories you need to survive. The GWF measures how many calories you burn all day (exercise calories plus the calories…

The most reliable equipment for monitoring your calories burned are the heart rate monitors with the chest strap. I've heard that from running stores, and from internet research. Any other method is not as reliable. MFP is just estimating calories based on the average person (which doesn't apply to most people) and the…
