I'm training for my first half marathon - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/R4z0r4Mm0 so I am doing the same as you - losing weight while training for a marathon. I've been cycling my carbs and calories. High when I'm training and lower when I'm not running. If you listen to podcasts - Marathon Training Academy had a really…

1. short term goal: lose an extra 12kg by Dec 28, break the 30min 5km barrier and run my first half-marathon in May 2012. 2. long term: to start and finish the Coast To Kosciuszko one day.. after a few marathons and 100k races. As much as I enjoy slow long runs, improving my pace and distance is my goal by the end of 2011,…

I love running in the rain. When sweat and water becomes undistinguishable is truly awesome.

When does one feel like a "real runner"? Oh please let me answer this through my blog post! :) Enjoy. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/R4z0r4Mm0/view/i-am-a-runner-145218 YOU are a runner. :flowerforyou:

Yup, I do that as well. I used to feel guilty and hide it from everyone before joining MFP - now, I still do that - but guilt free. Do what the guy above me said - I know I'm prone to late night eating, so I eat less and workout a little more during the day. If I don't binge-eat that night, then I have extra cals for the…

Thanks for clearing this up Mike. I think I speak for a lot of members here that MFP and the friends we've made on this site has literally saved my life. More power to you and MFP - keep up the good work.

him too.....?! man, i'm away for a day and half and there's a MFP exodus... next anubis will be gone????

Thanks for sharing. I'm come back to this post in a few months when I'm ready. In the meantime - I'll comment on this so it stays in my profile.

damn - I hate missing out on all this forum drama... no idea what happened and why the MFP exodus????

We'll said wbgolden! Leave every1 else a loan, theres' a ESL forum only a cupple of clicks away were you can offer you're help. MFP friend's knead you're support, regardless of grammer and spellin.

VOTE 1_up! No idea who you are, but if anubis says so - then it's done! :)

Thanks for the Higdon tip - googling his methods now - lots to read!

I just blogged about my running. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/R4z0r4Mm0/view/i-am-a-runner-145218 ***I love runner-friends*** feel free to add me anyone. Lost 32kg and beat my 14km race 3 years ago by almost an hour. Now training for my first half-marathon in 36 weeks.

sydneysider here too! lost 32kg in 8 months, ran city 2 surf and training for a half marathon - feel free to add me :)

Something I learned the hard way - I broke #4 of the Golden Rules of Running. 4. STAY ON THE TRAIL Pavement damages joints,tendons, ligaments, and muscles. The more you can run on grass, woodchips, or dirt, the better off you are. My athletes run 90 percent oftheir workouts on soft surfaces.…

...over here! There's a few of us from NSW, QLD and all over the place - search for Aussie in the forums :)

I do both - but really enjoy fartleks(it's how I've always ran before I knew the term for it). I do fartleks most of my runs, but also do a long run once a week and a nice easy relaxing run a couple of days after. Once every 2-3 weeks, I do a run with a focus on beating my previous time/pace to see how much I've improved.

Sydneysider here too - add me as well. :)

I'm currently training for my second City 2 Surf 14km in less than 5 weeks - running it all the way 30kg(66lbs) lighter! :) I haven't registered yet, but planning to enter the Half Marathon in May 2012.

Sydney over here too! Feel free to add me. Anyone here running City 2 Surf in a few weeks?! :).

Sydney here - anyone can add me too! :drinker:

I had achilles tendonitis Feb this year - and was on crutches for 2 weeks. Sports physio for 4 weeks. I overdid my distance too soon and did a lot of hills. My left heel still hurts a bit after my runs - so I quickly do a lot of stretching for at least 20mins after a 1km cooldown walk. Elevating and icing 2-3 times a day…

I'm building my kilometres up for a 14km marathon in 7 weeks. Running 26-37km/week over 4 days at the moment and increasing to 45km a week before the race. I'll be over 30kg lighter than in my last race in 2008. I'm planning to do a half marathon in May 2012 so I'd love to know how you go in your first half marathon! I now…

...just knowing that there are almost-complete strangers in different parts of the world who care enough to read about my calorie burns, goals and nsvs, and then take the time - even if it's a few seconds to type "wtg" on their iPhone - is one of my main motivators that keep me coming to MFP. The knowledge in these forums…

I've been using Runkeeper for a few months now - training for a 14km in 7 weeks - feel free to add me to your street team. http://runkeeper.com/user/razorammo

For what it's worth - sending positive energy your way. :flowerforyou:

I used to think meals had to be spread out during the day - eating every 3 hours became a habit. Lost over 50lbs doing it this way. This last few weeks, I've been eating my highest calories later in the day, 2-3 cheat meals a week, chocolates even before bed, fat loss has actually increased and muscle strength and mass is…

Quite boring how I did it actually. But basically this... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/233474-the-latest-diet?hl=human+diet Fat loss IS a science - so just keep doing it right, and results will follow.

We can do all do this! I did 62lbs in 6 months - 44lbs more to go!
