A teenaged daughter will be embarassed by you in public no matter what you do. It's your job to have fun with that and embarass her at every opportunity.

Exactly. While most are content with their big belly and diabetes a few of us have found the secret. Keep up the Fire

I do because the human body is built for running and for running long. http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2012/06/long_distance_running_and_evolution_why_humans_can_outrun_horses_but_can_t_jump_higher_than_cats_.html

If it only happened that one time during the race then a likely cause is extreme glycogen depletion if it happened towards the end.

If your aerobic condition is high then there is a linear relationship between race pace at various distances. Each doubling of the distance adds about 15 seconds per mile to the pace. So, someone with a 7:00/mi 5K pace should be able to race: 10K - 7:15/mi HM - 7:30/mi Mar - 7:45/mi When one's race paces do not line up…

More miles at easy pace will get you what you want which is a solid aerobic foundation. Given your 10K time, your HM pace with a solid aerobic foundation should be 10:07-10:12 and your marathon pace should be 10:25 to 10:30. Of course, fixing your aerobic foundation will speed up your 10K so the other ones will get faster…

In my experience, running an easier easy run pace works mainly because you can run a whole lot, and still recover and improve in between runs. I'm not sure it would work as well for me if I was running less.

I use HR exclusively to set my easy run pace and it seems to be giving me steady improvement. For me easy run pace is 77% max HR (from 80/20 Running) = 129 or MAF, 180-age+5 = 130 or 85% of LT as calculated by Friel = 129 So, all right about the same. Using this my easy run pace has improved from a 12 min/mi to about a…

At the end of the day the total calories between the two are within about 3% or 100 cal with Fitbit lower. Workout cal on the watch are lower because it breaks out active calories apart from the resting calories. I'm not sure how they differentiate the two but they are both included in the total daily burn. Once they are…

It does get easier. And since you are just starting out it gets easier very quickly.

I was using fitbit before (and still am wearing it for the time being). I am finding the calories burned wearing apple watch and the steps to be extremely close to what fitbit reports. Walking outside with workout seems to be very exact with distance. Running outside with workout seems to be reporting the distance a little…

Today it has been synching slow for me.

Mine has been bouncing between 38 and 44 depending on how recovered I am from the day before. Unless something feels abnormal 54 isn't anything to worry about.

No, it won't do sleep. But it does monitor HR reliably all day and particularly during exercise. I just ran a long run with my new one and the HR was identical to the Garmin the whole way. Its also the only device perfectly integrated with the IOS heath app.

Apple watch will do all that.

If you are capable then you will be a lot better off extending some of those long runs to 2 hrs. Distance is still unimportant. Magic things begin happening after the 90 minute mark. The pace should be about the same as your normal easy pace.

Yes. Do not skip those things. What helped the most was wearing a night splint to keep the fascia stretched out while sleeping. http://m.cvs.com/mt/www.cvs.com/shop/home-health-care/braces-supports/foot-ankle-braces/futuro-foot-support-night-skuid-431339

No, just the opposite. Once you are in shape your body can do much more work at no greater effort level. You can burn a lot more calories in the same amount of time.

I use mine all the time because otherwise I let ego rule, I run too hard, and I stalemate my training progress.

From your description it sounds like you have good form already, or very close to it. It won't hurt to go to the clinic though. You never know what you might learn.

I think if you entered it as 1 calorie then it overides the fitbit calories during that time period. So you probably lose a hundred or so for each hour.

I use it. I self taught it using the book a couple of years ago. It is essentially identical to both Chi Running and Good Form Running. Once I adapted it did improve my running because it cured all my old running pains. This in turn allowed me to run a lot more which improved my ability over time. It may seem a little…

In the Georgia summer a moisture wicking shirt will still be fully wet and dripping not too long into the run. The difference is, unlike cotton, it doesn't get real heavy and chafe. It also dries faster. All that I have ever worn seem to protect my skin from the sun.

The formula is MET x (weight in kg) = cal burned per hour So multiply that by the number of hours you exercised.

That MET table is interesting. Using it I get a calorie burn of 148 for my 10 minute tempo portion of my run this morning. According to the garmin it was 143, so pretty close. For my low intensity run I get 685 cal for 55 min at 11 min/mi where the garmin says 521, so not so close there. I wonder which is closer to the…

There could be several different causes. What it looks like to me is possible overtraining since you are doing hard workouts nearly everyday for 4 months. One symptom of overtraining is an inability to elevate your heartrate. You cannot workout hard like that everyday without problems. If overtraining is the problem you…

Looking at my Garmin data for runs of similar duration but different intensities. Run 1: Low effort recovery run, 65 min, 5.65 miles, avg HR 109 - 98 cal per mile Run 2: 3 x 10 min tempo intervals with easy running, 70 min, 7.25 mi, avg HR 128 - 111 cal per mile That's for a 178 lb person calculated by Garmin using the…
