I did beachbody dvds, dvds from walmart/amazon/target and walking with baby in a stroller, ymca with childcare (after 2 months old) I had a c-section on my last one so I had to sit it out for a while postpartum but I tried to walk as much as I could, like when I was talking on the phone or walking to the grocery store…

I'm working on it. Thanks for the advice. I looked into running groups (with coaches) and fartlek training. @msf74 yes, you're correct! I'm not aerobically fit enough to sustain the faster pace for a longer distance. I'd like to get there. Possibly finish a half with all negative splits, everything under 8:30.
-
@Aed0416 yes my pace is faster when I'm competing or running with someone or running behind my husband (7:30-8m/mile) but I still can't maintain anything below 8:30 for more than 3-5 miles. Now, if I let my pace drift to 9:30-9:45 I'm fine for up to 15 miles (never ran any longer out of boredom LOL). So I just got what you…

@PiperGirl08 I do heart rate training in cycle but I don't know how that correlates to running?..Not to sound stupid but please explain. I genuinely am trying to run longer, faster. :) thanks for the help
-
Yippee! We can be slow together!
-
I don't usually count anything under 5k because I walk that just playing with my kids, working, everyday activities etc. So I'm more concerned about 5+..I can't sustain speed on those. I'm going to take your advice though and focus on strategy. THANK YOU THANK YOU! I think I need a running coach.
-
I'm going to try that. Although I'm really competitive with myself and pretty hard on myself when my runs are super slow. I think this is hindering my progress. I can't steady myself. Atleast 3 miles a day Monday through friday, Saturday or Sundays 5-7 miles and once a month 10 miles. Unless there's a half marathon.
-
@gobonas99 thanks! I just feel so slow and heavy. I'm going to look into the Garmin you mentioned, I have a Polar A300 and it doesn't do all of that. That would help because at times I don't realize I'm starting so fast but halfway through my runs I always notice I'm slower and I can't muster up the energy to go any…
-
@litsy3 I run 3-7 times per week. It's hard for me to start slow. I have to constantly remind myself to slow down to conserve energy. I still end up with faster splits at the beginning and snailing it through the finish..maybe the VERY LAST mile is a bit faster but it's NEVER faster than the first. Only because I'm…

@PaceMaka2dot0 yes..that was an experiment on the treadmill. I didn't change the elevation at all.

I found the longer Nike shorts that stay down..they're like cycling shorts but the others role up. I got them on clearance from a Nike outlet last year. The smaller ones roll up the second I put them on though. UH! Wait..mermaids?!? ...do explain

My diary is now public! Sorry about that, I thought it was already! The point of the challenge was to show that you can eat healthy under $20 ($17 in my case-for those who want to get healthier and don't have the extra income). So that A $1.00 Cheeseburger is not a go-to! Without eating the exact same thing every day. But…

Eating healthy on a budget can be done with discipline and planning. I'm doing a challenge (thank my husband). Eating healthy for 5 days (M-F) on $12-$17 only. I have the foods posted on IG, receipts and pics on FB/IG. Logging in my diary this week, but you can't see the pics of the foods on MFP. If anyone wants to follow.…

1-2xs a week. When maintaining...randomly once a week maybe?!? when cutting or losing weight 1-2xs a week
-
I go for Macros while cutting/shredding and calories when maintaining. Personal preference I guess but I prefer to watch my macros (protein/fat and then carbs) closely when cutting. I know if those are right (consistent) my cals will fall into place naturally.
-
Men..... had a guy pull his car up on the sidewalk where I was running to get out and start running with me...just for my phone number... he didn't get my digits but he got a good burn I'm sure -- as it was uphill. In all seriousness, I was pretty scared at the time.
-
I LOVE coffee but I hate spending all the money on Starbucks and it's sooo many cals/sugar. So I will allow myself a treat (on Saturdays) a Starbuck's Iced coffee (w/white mocha and toffee nut). During the week.. Brew my own starbucks. I use International's caramel creamer fat free/sugar free (aka chemicals) but it's only…

I warm up 3-5 minutes @4 then every 45 seconds to 1minute I run increasing from 5 to 7 and possibly a 7.5 sprint , then start over from 5.5 to 6.5 to 7.5 and repeat. I'm not necessary trying to be fast, I'm working on endurance so if I find myself comfortable somewhere in there I'll stay for 2 minutes and then increase and…

Jayme?!?...this thread is calling YOU girl! where are you?

It depends on the issue thats causing your fatigue.. Vitamin Def? You need multi-vit Muscle breakdown? You need Amino Acids, more protein You stated it's birth control so it could be your hormones..your body could be finding it's rhythm again. Not sure. I'd probably research the BC see if anyone else had the same…
