  • I've completed 5 half marathons, so great choice! While I am not the fastest runner out there, I enjoyed every one of them. +1 for Hal Higdon's traning programs, they helped me immensely. Dont eat/drink/wear anything new the day of, make sure you hydrate and practice the energy booster you'll be using for the race (my…
  • your breakfast is lacking. Skip the OJ and have some cereal with the yogurt and fruit instead. Also, next time you go to Pizza hut, maybe you can try thin crust with veggies and get a salad from the salad bar
  • another vote for polar! My f6 has worked for 4+ years
  • Their servings are more than what a "normal" serving should be, hence the high calorie count (their burritos are 1000 cal +) I dont eat there frequently, but when I do i get a salad with chicken, beans and salsa

  • I also have a polar from 4 years ago and every once in a while it acts up. I find cleaning the strap with the same stuff I use to clean the machines helps clear it.

  • I used to take the One a Day vitamins and they made me sick. I've switched to the vitafusion gummies and no issues anymore
  • The new plan is working for a lot of people. For me it wasnt for some reason. I did best on Winning points back in 2002. MFP is working also, amazing what the power of the internet can do :)
  • I like my HRM! Got one for spin class 4 years ago and havent looked back- I cant work out without it! It takes all the guesswork away for me. Sometimes I burn more calories than the machines say, sometimes less. Depends on your intensity level. I am very pro HRM
  • When I was training last summer during 90+ days, I would get up at 5:30 to complete long runs on the weekends. Good luck!!
