  • Get some sugar free gum...<5 calories a piece, what's the harm in that? Don't store snacks around where you're getting bored. At my desk at work I'll eat whatever is there, if it's not there I don't eat it.

  • I'm a little picky with headphones but the following are affordable. I have had Shure Ec2, Klipsch Image S4, and now have Logitech Ultimate Ear 600 buds. I like the buds that fit in the ear cannal. The only negative is they block out all sounds so you need to be careful around traffic. A company called Comply Foam makes…

  • I doubt you're trying to break any record on your first 5K so I'd just eat a normal meal. Maybe you should watch out for any foods that might cause you personally to have issues like spices or greasy food. I wouldn't stress it.

  • Go to a running store, not Foot Locker or Finish Line. Try on several shoes/brands. Have them see if you can wear a cushioned neutral shoe or if you need some stability. Let them help you and try not to base your decision on looks. And expensive doesn't mean better. $85 shoes can be better than $140 shoes. A previous model…

  • Take it after eating...wait 30 minutes or an hour. I've thrown up taking them on an empty stomach.

  • SPI belt Arm bands are a pain and advertise your phone. The belt doesn't bounce, you can put other things in it and no one can tell you have it.

  • I don't look at what anyone else is doing, I don't look if anyone else is looking at me, I have in-ear buds that block out all sound, most people probably think I'm a jerk because I don't do anything social except say, "are you done with that bench?". The gym will always be filled with meatheads, pretty people, heavy…

  • Add distance as suggested. Even if you feel good, increasing too quickly can lead to injuries. Many running injuries don't go away without cutting back or taking a break from running (not good). Stretch well, especially places you feel tight or you experience pain. If you never ran you will most likely have an imballance…

  • Usually shin spints are from high impact excercises (running with a heavy foot) and overuse. You should cut back on your running, attempt to adjust your form if you're hitting the road hard with each stride and ice your shins. A mid-foot strike is fine and can be soft. Don't try to do a forefoot strike or go buying…
