Thanks. Just curious though. When I'm running my max HR is usually 145. I wasn't sure if that was OK. But after looking online it seems to be in the 65-85%. :) it's called Bradycardia or athletes heart. I find it funny as I've never considered myself an athlete. LOL
-
Yeah had an ultrasound and an echo done. Say as I'm quite active they are not concerned, they being the doctors. It's apparently normal in active people to have a low HR.

That IS huge. Great accomplishment. :happy:

Each week I have to increase my repeats by 1. I'm only doing 4 weeks of hills. This is what the plan says: Hills: 1-2k warm-up then the R# above in 45-50 second surges uphill... rest by jogging down/ do 1k cool down

Non scale victory.

Running 81.72, surprised myself.

It's been said, you need a chest strap. I LOVE my Suunto M5. Heard nothing but good things about the Polar.

Thanks, good info. I'm 4 weeks in my training and haven't got to the hills or fartlek yet. I think I'm prepared, just have to find a good hill.
-
Thanks Steph.

I guess it can't be said enough...AMAZING, you look AMAZING.

I'm going to try this starting Sunday. My question is do you know any exercises I can exchange the one with machines for? I work 4 days/week and have a gym at work but have no machines at home. We do have dumbbells and barbells.

Thanks rybo. This is the website for the training. I'm running a half in Toronto and this is what they have on their website. http://www.towomensruns.com/images/145-2hrs-17wks.pdf

Not sure. Will this be the only schedule you'll be using? If so I would be sure that the mileage is 13 miles for when you do the half. Does that make sense? Basically you want to be running the distance of the race before the race. Hope that made sense. Also, you could probably get a training schedule for both since you…

This. You're not going to gain back all your hard work over just a few days. Enjoy. The more you worry about it, the less you'll enjoy.

Doing a resolution run on New years eve. Only 5K. Going to be a cold one.

Amazing transformation. Very beautiful. Good luck and congrats on getting into the best aviation college.

Boy shorts. Used to wear thongs, don't get why people don't wear any at all. Like my mother always said, 'what if you got into an accident and had to go to the hospital, make sure you're wearing nice panties' People don't want to get a peek of your taco. :embarassed:

Thanks. I did it yesterday, ran 30 min straight on the dreadmill @ 6.0 mph then walked 5 min. Felt good afterward.
-
Sorry, no advice. I do hope it gets better. I'm sure it will heal by January.
-
Thanks everyone. I just ran on the dreadmill for 30 minutes straight with no walk break at 6mph. So I guess I have it in me. :) I was using the Jeff Galloway training method and he recommends the walk breaks, I guess I've outgrown them. :)

Like this post.

Its funny you mention that, I've been just looking at it. Might consider it. Thx

Nothing planned for the rest of the year. May 6, 2012 - Mississauga 1/2 May 27, 2012 - Toronto Women's 1/2 Hope to get into the Nike Womens Full Marathon in San Fransisco in October

Kathy from Canada here, 41 and ran my first marathon last year. Love running, even on the treadmill when I have too. Joined an indoor running track for the winter. Not a speedy runner like some of you. I guess I run in the middle of the pack. My personal best 1/2 is 2:04. Just getting info on triathalon's so that may be in…

I did it in May with less then 7 weeks training. Obviously not a personal record by any means but I finished it and there was no aches or pains. Yes it can be done and yes you will and can do it, just pace yourself. Good luck.

I like the above post.

A few people have said muscle weighs more than fat. WRONG!!! 5lbs of muscle weighs the same as 5 lbs of fat. PERIOD!!! I've gotten some conflicting advice about this. Eat all or most of your exercise calories, and others say don't. Which is it? Why don't you try to go back with what worked for you at the beginning. You got…

Also well said.
