Both. My runs depend on weather so when you can get outside, get out there, when you can't use a treadmill. I'm torn on the the 1% incline rule for running, but if c25K, I say set TM at 1% incline and go a speed you maintain your same HR to get your running in

Just an FYI - I gained weight my first two marathons and lost it shortly after I quit training. I know I wasn't overeating, I wasn't under eating either. It was what I was eating. Marathon training you have a tendency to use more carbs when running your long training runs, your body will slow metabolism on these runs to…

Possibly change what you are eating vs calories too. I found that my body was holding weight while running because of my carb intake. It took about 3 weeks to my body to adjust to lower carb ratios, but since that time I'm stronger than ever. My training run on Saturday was 14 miles and I didn't use anything but water and…

Diet more than exercise is how I lost weight. I got lean and toned with exercise. I did P90X and went from size 6 to size 2 with the same body weight. I'd suggest finding a weight training program you like and can stick to.

Diet not exercise is what changed this for me. Hormones and diet played the biggest role for me as a female.

I use a Heart Rate Monitor and find they are under calorie counts for my age and fitness level. That said, I use their numbers anyway, better to underestimate than over IMO.

I have a training plan. Mine is 16 weeks, but if you do two weeks at a time, it's easier to stick to. Start small - 10 minutes a day or 30 minutes a day. I do it first thing in the AM so nothing else interrupts my day.

I hear Shaun T in his Asylum series saying "this is when the real work begins". In my minds eye, I tell myself that I need to push to reach the point not achieved before to make forward progress. The constant pushing forward movement I want comes from just simply digging deeper within myself. I do it for ME and only me. I…

The statement of "you created a calorie deficit" is not accurate. It depends on a lot of what the "replacement" foods are that are being ate. I've recently switched up from years of calorie counting - doubled my calories - by adding more high quality fats - and am losing weight and cutting body fat - calories in/calories…

Sorry but somewhat confused - both my kids have Celiac disease. It's a general concept that when you are first diagnosed that you eliminate dairy as it causes many with the disease heart aches. My mom also has celiac and still does not do dairy. So not being "allowed" I'm assuming that is a choice as I can't fathom any Dr…

You may not want something with so many ingredients. Fiber is not common on long runs. I have never used carbs for anything less than 10 miles other than electrolyte water. Im a firm believer in keep it simple, looks to me like a candy bar wouldn't be much different to use if you want something cheaper.

My son has had that. I take him to Chiro. She generally pulls it quickly to get it back lose and he is good to go.

Email the company and let them know. I had a premium account and they replaced mine when it came out I'd the holder and i lost it.

I worked for a DPM for several years, too many fit you for expensive orthotics because they make a fortune on them. See your regular dr and get a referral to a physical therapist, you may have a stress fracture. You need someone to figure out the why as well so it doesn't keep happening. Try KT tape as well for some…

I've only glanced the posst and truly the whole thing makes no sense to me. Leg length is really not a big deal. Walking or running would be speed, fitness level, cadence, etc. My DH is 6'6" tall, I'm 5'4" - he runs a 10 MPM - I run 8:20 MPM on a 10K. Sure I take more steps, move my feet faster, etc etc. But I've also been…

I wouldn't step foot in a gym, never have, never will. Not my thing. I workout all the time at home with DVDs. After my first marathon I did P90X and went from size 6 to 0 without changing anything but doing that instead of running. I know train exclusively with at home DVD's, Running(treadmill and outdoors) and Road Bike…

See a massage therapist and start working 30 minutes daily on hip strengthening. How new/old are your shoes? If you are 10 weeks in now long is you whole training program. IMO - your long runs maybe aren't what you should stick to personally - if you can do 8-10 at race pace you may be just as well off at 18 at one minute…

My alarm is set at 5:15 in the winter. Over the summer I look at what daylight is - set it for 30 min early so I can run as soon as it's light out, frequently that's about 4:15.

I had my mountain bike on a trainer and found all kinds of pains here and there that I hadn't notice before. I put my racing bike on my trainer and it solved everything. I can ride 3-4 hours indoors with no problems on my road bike. World of difference.

No what is that?

I'll play devils advocate.... The news never tells the whole story, and I'm sure school officials are in a position of confidentiality and unable to fully discuss it. That said, what other choices do schools have, the newest litigation shows that schools got sued for "Not protecting kids" from an incident very similar.…

Make sure at all winter races, in the rain, cold, wind to have your children waiting at several spots along the course - best if a marathon so they are particularly miserable for close to four hours.
-
Sounds like an injury waiting to happen. I'm sure it "can" be done -but...should be done is a different question. Respect the marathon, respect the distance and train smart to be injury free. There are SO many questions you haven't answered, which would lead me to believe that you don't know what you are getting into.…

I used invite4 it worked just fine.

Avocado is always my go to when I need extra calories not from protein.

Saw a photo of myself with 4 chins. I'm not super photogenic to begin with, that just made it worse.

Love my bike training. Mine was a gift from a friend who is a road racer and so I didn't explore options since this was free. It's simple to use, mine has a quick release lever in back so you don't have to reset the tension. I'm hearing impaired and can still ride and have the TV on loudest and still make out what the tv…

Not really, but I hate 5K's they are freaking too much work and painful for me to "race". They are done just as I'm feeling my stride, not a 5K fan. I do a few of them a year, not racing tho, I run them with my kids, walk them with a friend, generally these are local races. I do my half's and fulls out of town and bigger…

I'm a firm believer of speed or distance not both at the same time. My training speeds are based on my best race, and take into account the distance I run. I've PR'd every race I train for - which is about 2 per year, and I run others for fun. I trained my last marathon - using a half marathon plan, added one mile to each…

Run, bike, abs/core, upper body, kettlebell, do whatever I need to get my training in, most often Brazil Butt Lift - 20 minutes of Secret Weapon workout.
