Not sure what pain problems you are having, but it's normal for runners to need a mile to warm up and get the juices flowing and the legs loose. If this is not what youre experiencing then it would be a good idea to visit the local running store and pick their brains. A few tips: Eat carbs the night before your run.…

Ambien, WOW. Years ago I suddenly lost the ability to sleep. I had no worries, stress...nothing that could affect my sleeping. Doc gave me a script for Ambien & I took it for about one week and slept like a baby, but something told me it was just too good and I threw them away. After doing a little research I discovered…

I was in the gym and one of my buddies came over to me & pointed out a guy and said, "That guy keeps staring at me and smiling. If he comes on to me Im gonna knock him out" I told my buddy that if he would go to the locker room and put his shorts on right side out that the guy would probably quit smiling at him! LOL My…

Fixed it for ya! LOL

Sure, but lifting deprives you of the opportunities to kick snarling, ankle biting dawgs & cuss drivers.

I had good success with calorie cycling, then the wheels fell off and I hit a 3 month plateau that began when I lowered my calories for my lower weight. I was disciplined and tracked everything I ate. I have just recently switched to TDEE. I also have an appointment to have my RMR tested next week.

Interesting. Mayo Clinic: "Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, and…

It's been a long time and Ive forgotten a lot, so double check me. Cholesterol is produced in the liver and high cholesterol is generally due to genetics. Watching your diet helps though generally dietary cholesterol is not the biggest contributor to high cholesterol; so you can eat eggs and the like in moderation. Eat a…

The more weight you have to drop the easier it is - until you start getting closer to your target weight. I started MFP and dropped weight consistently...1.5 - 2 lbs per week....38lbs total..... Easy as pie. Based on my success, hell, I had all the answers, but then I readjusted (reduced by 200 cals) my daily calories for…

Wow. Hope you dont have exercise induced asthma. Are you running for distance or sprinting short distances? Regardless, dont run as hard until you get into better shape, and if you have any more problems catching your breath see your doc. Dont let over exerting burn you out and demotivate you from becoming a runner. Once…

Depending on how far Im running. I have dozens of different sizes and styles and of course Camal Bak. My favorite though is an insulated bottle sleeve from Outdoor Products. I buy them at Walmart for around $3.00. It will hold any brand 750 ml bottle. It has a hand strap and a clip. The good thing is once I empty the…

I love the expression on your baby's face looking up at the monster. LOL He is a cutie. Like the other posters stated, your calorie burns are off, but what you really need to know is that youre running too hard. Run slow and at a pace that allows you to carry on a conversation using complete sentences. You will feel silly…

Apples oxidize when the tighty whites are too tight....

Pay this man no attention. The only reason Im his friend is cuz he pays me.

I have a faded decal on my bathroom mirror that says, "Youre Looking at the Problem". I think all athletes at one time or another run into a slump and just cant get too worked up about their sport; but Im different, Im tougher then them. I rock. Im a stud. Im a monster. I eat all the asphalt I can find. (hey, works for me…

Dont care much about you period, but cut the rhetoric and stay on subject. As to your question, the same applies to you; what do you know about the OP to be telling him he shouldnt worry too much about his sodium intake? And this begs the question, how do you know how much sodium to ingest? How do you know the 4000 mg you…

Whatever cupcake- and not that I care, but you probably wont be so lucky to just "croak", you will probably have a stroke and have to lay in bed for 10 years depending on others to wipe your drool.

I generally refuse to give my phone number, but if I must, I always note, "do not share my contact info or solicit me" or make up a phony phone number If you are solicited insist that they put you on their do not call list. Also register with the National Do Not Call Registry - https://www.donotcall.gov/ .....and when you…

Not sure of the state you live in but the contract is probably null if no money was exchanged. I suggest a short note. (If you call to cancel be sure and note the time, date, and person you spoke with.)

If you keep eating 4000 mg of sodium a day you will have serious medical issues. New sodium guidelines are 1800 mg per day and 1500 mg if youre age 50 or over. Check with the American Heart Assoc or Mayo Clinic websites.

THIS - without a doubt - a real PARTY POOPER!

With those two you would need much looser shorts!

I too was once a victim of besmirchment - but I assure you, it was solely due to the efforts of a shameless maiden. She continued to pursue me regardless of my frantic protests! Ah, just the memory....but that shall be a tale for a later day, as Ive been advised of a practical matter referred to as the statute of…

^^^This I went minimalist and cant get over what a great improvement to my running. No pain. No issues. Nothing but good clean trouble free running. If you predominately run on the same side of crowned roads (ie. against traffic) you can stress your feet, ankles, knees & hips. Try finding a more level route for your runs.…

Ive heard yoga will help with anxiety - and I certainly know that running puts me in a zone. If youre not running give it a try. The only time I get antsy is when I havent been able to run!

The best time to check your RHR is before you get out of bed in the AM. It will change from day to day depending on how hard you have been training. When you find it elevated more than usual it's a good indication that you should take a rest day.d Im 60, 6'.0", and my RHR is around 48 bpm. I use an old Nike Triax HRM Ive…
