  • Listen to 'helloitsdan' he's going to give you some great advice about eating more calories. I was stuck at the same weight for about 3 weeks. Started eating more calories, and I started dropping in less than two weeks. Way more sustainable.

  • The one thing you haven't mentioned is how many times you are currently running. I know you are doing a 10k now, but is that running only one time per week, or 3-4 times per week. Distance is a good measure, but frequency is pretty important too. If you are running 1-2 times per week, you might be pushing it too much to…

  • I have a similar issue. Orthopedic doc says the popping isn't an issue unless it produces pain. He told the noises are a pretty natural result of age. Strengthening quad muscles that attach to the knee is the best thing you can do for your knee.

  • Rest. No question. I'm a triathlete who continued to work out with an irritated rotator cuff and because I tried to "push through it" I am now on mandated rest for 4-6 weeks.

  • If time is a huge issue, replace your juice calories with protein/fiber. You can get precooked turkey sausage that you heat in the microwave, fruit or whatever else. In my opinion drinking calories isn't a good use of your daily allowance. I'd rather spend my calories on more filling foods. Almonds are also a filling snack.

  • Depends on the peanut butter. Lots of sugar in some heavily processed brands. Try PB2 as an alternative (typically found in the organic section). It's a dry powder with all the oil removed that you reconstitute with milk. Very low cal, and tastes awesome. Not quite as filling though...

  • I agree that running on a track can be boring. Try a fuelbelt if you need to have water accessible. They are available online and at most specialty running stores.
