  • Recently purchased the Crossrope system and found it is well worth the investment. I bulked at first because of the price but figured if the average running shoe costs $100 or more and a typical Running goes through 2 or 3 pair per year than the cost of the Crossrope system is a bargain. I also invested $35 in a 3’x6.5’…

  • Welcome. I’m a returning MFP member. I am a vegan who enjoys running, cycling, kettlebells and general fitness. I’m not elite and don’t judge.

  • Time of day would be the first on the list but equally important is adjusting your pace. When the humidity is higher it is harder for evaporation to take place and evaporation causes cooling. Adequate hydration, slower pace and run during the coolest time of the day (usually early morning) are the suggestions that come to…

  • I'll be cheering for you. One of my goals is to run it in 2013. Don't think I should go for it this year, may be too soon for me.

  • Another good point. Track the milage on your shoes since it is said that most last approximately 300 - 500 miles before they begin to break down and a new pair is needed. It is a good idea to get two pair and switch off so the shoe has a chance to rebound between runs. This of course is especially true if you're running a…

  • That is SO COOL! Gotta do it. Thanks for the info. October does sound more feasible due to prior obligations. Might have to consider rearranging those obligations though. This sounds too good to miss.

  • I also wore the Beast by Brooks and it is indeed a good shoe. I currently run New Balance 2012mc. It important to be sure a shoe has adequate cushioning and stability (motion control). Running shoe makers generally have a variety to accommodate a wide range of needs. Brooks mahes the Beast but also racing flats that would…

  • Great suggestions! I'm curious though. How does a scale measure some of the things like BMI, body fat, hydration etc?

  • Most people who don't like to exercise are working at it too hard. You should learn how to check your heart rate (pulse) and measure your intensity according to your target rate. It'll take a few minutes for it to reach so take it slow and check pulse often. Some people find that walking at a slow pace may be too intense…
    in Can you loose weight without much exercise Comment by TJMcQN January 2012
  • My brother and I stumbled on to something that might help. We weighed daily but also measured our belts (what size belt and what notch). What we noticed and when we hit a plateau we would get discouraged until we found a pattern that showed that the plateau is when you lose size. Around the time of a plateau, sometimes…
