Sonds like the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome. Probably not directly related to running, just exacerbated by it (arm position etc...). I had the same symptoms but not from running.

You dont have to preach to me about science. Im an engineer. I have a science degree (Granted, its computer science, but I am an avid follower of all science). However just saying that what you believe is backed up by science doesnt make it true. As I have mentioned, I have read and consulted with experts in the scientific…

That is where we disagree... I was doing 900 cals a day for a couple months (I now hate tuna boxes...) before I asked my doc why i wasnt losing (thought it was lack of exercise). She told me about starvation mode, and recomended a few apps for my phone including MFP. The difference was like night and day when I actually…

It is not true that if you have a deficit you wil lose "end of story" or "period" if your deficit is too large, you will put your body in starvation mode. your metabolism will slow down and your body will try to keep and store all it can. Your deficit should never be more than 1k calories a day, and your net cals shouldnt…

Use regular (or fat Free) coffee mate creamer and add vanilla syrup. Much cheaper on calories
