2 things: 1) Make sure you aren't overtraining. (Obvious, since you've done halfs in the past, I'm sure you already know about this.) 2) Are you hitting the wall? It is an amazing kick to the face if you've never hit it before, and I didn't get it until I was marathon training. Read this for more info:…

You're both young. He and you are going through a phase. Some never get out of it. Some you can help get out of it, but its all really just dependent on the person. Unless you really and truly love the guy and intend to try to subject yourself to both the good and the bad for an extended duration, there's no harm in moving…

I've had both a polar and a garmin. For straight up heartrate tracking/calorie tracking/etc, def go for the polar as its cheaper and does well. But like previous posters have said, if you want tools to help you push it to the next level, through GPS, workout types, programs, routes, specific monitoring each step of the…

I would say, it really depends on your metabolism. If you have a super high one, you could pass out depending on how hard you push yourself. Just as another perspective, when I was in army training, we did not eat before workouts. You had dinner around 5-6pm the night prior, with the exercise session (PT) starting at…
