not knit an afghan anymore. Something more pulse raising perhaps.

731 Miles What are you listening to right now?

do whatever she wants to do (play music, go for a run, check out that camaro, whatevs)

Wouldn't want to upset Mr. Boo Bear.

68F in my temperature controlled office. ~75 outside (it was nice for my lunch run). Music on blast and the spreadsheets are flowing like honey.

Not my type, sorry WM. @JackieWalks - How you doing? ;)

For the mystery. Yes.

move the phone/hand!

I only chafe in 2 (well technically 3 spots) - nipples and thighs, so I'll speak mostly to those spots. I use nexcare waterproof tape on the nipples (the adhesive is body heat activated, so it doesn't seem like it's going to stick at first, but it always sticks) and A&D Ointment everywhere else. I prefer it to body glide…

This is my problem all the time. Always running = always hungry = hard to lose weight. Focus on eating clean regardless of the calories being consumed. I try to up my protein intake so curb hunger a little better. I will basically put eggs and beans on everything, regardless of the social acceptability of the created…

You might just pick up a cheap pair of water socks. I have run whole races in them. I had a pair of Body Gloves that cost me all of 9 dollars and lasted about 400 miles before the sole completely blew out.

Which muscles, what kind of pain, etc? What is your weekly mileage? How much has it increased, etc? Could be shoes, could be overuse, could be increasing mileage too quickly, could just be that you need to do some good deep tissue massaging. I either foam roll or take a lacrosse ball to my legs for about 10 minutes every…

As others have said, if you can run 10 you can run 13.1. I'm a big fan of running longer than the race. My best HM, I worked up to doing long runs of 15-17 miles. That allowed me to finish strong, well within my goal time, and I didn't feel completely trashed at the end. Be sure to give yourself at least a week of tapering…

I usually have to stretch before I walk down the steps in the morning, lest my legs betray me and I fall to my death. Generally the only difference is I might start running sooner after eating than usual. I wouldn't worry too much if you have a sluggish run: 1) it just happens sometimes 2) why does every run have to be…

Woo Hoo! Tris are great, be sure to get in your brick workouts! (And hopefully they don't kill your passion for cycling)

I use Strava. It has a free and paid version, I've just got the free version and it does everything I need it to. It syncs with MFP and with my Garmin, you can follow other athletes (amateur and professional). The MFP Long-Distance Runners Group is on Strava too.

Bikes all the way. Great cardio, great compliment to running, lots of fun, very supportive community.
-
I would use something like MapMyFitness, Endomondo, or Strava. Then when you are done with the walk you can see your actual pace. If you don't want to keep using the trackers you can use that pace as a baseline and just think "this walk is faster/slower than baseline" and adjust accordingly.

I'm training for a 50K in October!

What are you training for @ffbrown25 ?

Distance runner and triathlete and I Oly lift in the off season. 40 C/ 30/30. I only started tracking macros a couple of weeks ago. I'm a no-meat athlete and I tend to come up short on protein and go over on fats. But I'm starting to get everything tweaked in the right direction. I feel a lot better since I cut back my…

Wake up early. Get there early and relax before you start running. Eat something light (for a 5K I'm usually good on a banana and some peanut butter toast). You won't be depleting your glycogen, so there is no need to carbo load or anything like that. Don't do anything crazy, your stomach will probably already be in knots…

I was never ran a mile. Like many hated PE, etc. Just thought that I couldn't do it. I had a buddy who was retired from the army and he wanted me to work out with him. So we'd do the normal calisthenics, and as a cool down he made me run one day. We ran about 3/4 of a mile and I thought of was going to die, but thought "Oh…

I sometimes feel nauseated/sick after long runs, mostly due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. I've gone through phases where I didn't think about it as much as I should have and paid the price (serious bonking in a dangerous race). So nearly falling off of a mountain into the river below got me thinking about this…

You could have a myriad of issues. Sore shins could be shin splints or sometimes that muscle gets very tight. The breathing - you just need to relax and focus on it until it becomes more natural to breathe deeply while running. The dizziness is probably related to the breathing issue. Numb feet could be - tight muscles…
