I just "discovered" Quest bars, and I'm in love. They are so good I actually look forward to eating them, it's like eating dessert but getting 20g of protein for under 200 calories! I bought a variety box from Amazon and haven't tried all of them yet, but Apple Pie is definitely the best so far. :-)

Hi! I'm a CF newbie, just started 2 months ago. This may sound like a silly victory, but yesterday I surprised my coach so much when he saw me do a 95lb clean and jerk that he yelled "holy ****!" out loud, lol. I never lifted weights before, so I have felt very much behind the power curve and it was nice to know I had…

I have had great results with UnderArmour Cushion running socks. They have extra cushioning in the balls of the feet and heels (kind of looks like a volleyball net design) and are very well fitted to the foot. I used to be super-paranoid about getting my feet wet because I was afraid of blisters, but I ran the Loch Ness…

Congrats on your PR, that's amazing!!! Like a couple others, I'm working towards a sub-2:00 half... thanks for motivating me to do more speedwork! :-)

I am a runner and tried incorporating Insanity into my most recent marathon training program for the strength benefits (like OP, I hate weightlifting). My usual schedule was long run Sunday, rest Monday, Insanity Tues, Insanity Wed, rest Thurs, tempo/speedwork run Fri, rest Sat. This worked well for me until I hit the…

I have had a Garmin Forerunner 205 for 4 years now and it has been super-reliable through training for 4 marathons. My husband makes fun of me for how big and clunky it is, so for my birthday he got me the Forerunner 405CX. There were some things I liked about it (flashing average pace for each mile, overlays on Google…

Big Sur was my first-ever full marathon in 2009 - extremely challenging (Hurricane Point, anyone?), but I'd do it again in a heartbeat, the scenery is that amazing. I've been living in the UK for the last 3 years, so I did Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2010, Loch Ness in 2011, and I'm running Paris this April! Loch Ness has…

Have not done that one, but I use the events page on runnersworld.com to scope out new races, they have lots of reviews from past runners over recent years. Good luck!

Agree with the above, plus one more thing. About 3 years ago I started having constant knee pain after running, and a co-worker suggested glucosamine supplements. It cured me overnight (not joking) and I have not had issues since. This is probably more something to consider if you have been training for a long time and…

I second the "whole wheat bread with peanut butter" breakfast! I have eaten that before every long run or race for the last couple years. =) Recently, I have also started drinking Special K protein shakes after my long runs, to provide the protein to rebuild muscles (as someone else mentioned), without adding a ton of…

Didn't get into London for the second year in a row, so I am running the Paris Marathon on April 15. Anybody have a good late-Feb/early-March half? I looked at Brighton, Cambridge, Silverstone, and Bath but they are all sold out. :-( I guess you have to pick your races early these days! Thanks for the help :-)
