  • You can make your own TRX set up for less than $40 (tie down straps, carabiners, ceiling ring, and 12 inches of PVC tubing) At Home Depot and that will work every muscle and then some. Limitless possibilities. I have mine in the garage, doesn't get much use in winter but will get more as weather warms up.

  • That certainly sounds great and would seem reasonable. If that formula works, 20 lbs would get me under 3 hrs. But I have my doubts. You still gotta train like a mofo to get that fast and sustain it for 3 hours.

  • Running without pain or injury requires good shoes. Do the right thing and go to a Fleet Feet or other running store in your area and get fitted properly with a good pair of shoes. I know many running stores have treadmills with cameras now and they can analyze your gait and help get you in the right shoe. Once you figure…

  • Thanks guys. Last Spring, I got analyzed on an InBody 230 machine, and my weight was roughly what it is now 207. Water % was 64.7%, Body Fat 11.7%. Skeletal muscle mass was high, close to 130% of normal. Of course my BMI and weight for my height (6'2") by themselves would say I'm 20 lbs overweight, but I am more concerened…

  • It is not uncommon to feel uncomfortable the first part of your run, your heart rate eventually adjusts to the effort and levels out. This can be seen if you wear a heart rate monitor. It's actually a great way to make sure you are putting out the right level of effort. Garmin makes many models at all different price…

    in What's your 2012 goal? Comment by jbrinda1 February 2012
  • I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis (heel pain) for 6 months or so, and developed post tib tendonitis as a result of the post tib tendon, the one that goes around the bottom of your inner ankle and allows you to arch your foot having to work harder. I had pain just under the ball of the inner ankle. I've had some…
