  • Were they your personal set of dumbbells or the gyms? If the latter, you weren't using them anyway. Of course, I have a solution for you. Go to the free weight rack and use the plates. I am guessing you are not using heavy weights, so, the 5 and 10 pound plates are easy to use and plentiful. When I was rehabbing my…

  • Isopure makes a zero carb protein shake. I will use that as a supplement.

  • I do not eat 2 hours prior to a run. As for bathroom issues, before long runs, I take four Advil gel caps. This "binds" me up and I have never had to go to the bathroom during a race. I just finished a half marathon Saturday and I drank, at least 180 ounces of liquid during the race. I have an Amphiboid fuel belt that has…

  • Saucony is the only shoe that I can run in. Go to two or three running stores and get a gait analysis done. Hopefully, they will all agree on what type of runner you are. Also, get your feet measured. You may be surprised at the size! I wore a 9.5 standard, off the shelf shoe for most of my adult life. The size I wear now…

  • I just finished my second half marathon, the A1A half marathon in Fort Lauderdale, in 2:46:24. I first started training for the Disney Wine and Dine 1/2 marathon over 2 years ago, and promptly tore my calf muscle...twice! When I got healthy, I used the Jeff Galloway training method. The most important part of running a…

  • 52 here and it is harder. If I ate a bunch of junk food all my life, I think it might be easier, but I eat fairly healthy. When I was younger, 20s and 30s, I used to work out hard and gained a lot of muscle. Now, I want to keep some of the muscle mass and still lose weight. As I have started running 1/2 marathons and will…

  • I wouldn't trust the blood test as the conditions have to be correct for it to be accurate. I took the DNA test which came back negative, so,under the advise of my doctor, added gluten back in. After three weeks, I had bloating, gas, all of the other symptoms that go with gluten intolerance, and gained 20 pounds! Now that…
