There are lots of excellent running watches out there and most of them utilize HRM. Polar will give by far the best guidance using the HR while you run to guide your workout. Garmin I hear is pretty good but I love Polar. I have the RC3 GPS which is an integrated GPS/HRM. The RCX3 from Polar separates the GPS into a…

Both 8) Not a stupid question!

Shin splints have been a constant issue for me and I recently seem to have beaten them. I ramped up my mileage way too agressive this past few months and I avoided injury. A few things you might want to try: 1) RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate. Get some compression sleeves. Ice your legs after every run even if you…

I rarely drink soda but I will always be a big Coca Cola fan. So Coke Zero for me. I haven't had regular soda in a very long time...I should treat myself to a glass someday ;)

Maybe they're cold! Definitely helps lose water weight.

If its below freezing - mid 30s on race day, I'd wear long sleeve running shirt, maybe full length compression gear, and gloves. Above the 30s I just wear my shirt and shorts I normally wear.

If you want an HRM, Polar is the best. I run & bike with a Polar RC3 GPS and have a Polar FT7 for gym/pool days

I've got 2lbs left and my BF is down to 13.5%. I've started to switch more into maintenance now and its slowing the loss down but I really had the weight fly off me...25lbs in 3 months...so I wanted to start putting the brakes on as I got to my goal. I do want to see those last two lbs gone though!

I have an iron will ;)

I grew up not learning to eat many different foods because my mother is incredibly picky. I thought I liked nothing and always called myself picky right after high school. But I've spent the past 14 years learning I pretty much like most things. Anything I didn't really like but was good for me and I felt I should eat, I…

Calipers are technically more accurate but the scales are close enough for most people's purposes. Just pick one method or the other and stick with it. The important thing you are looking for is the trend.

No need to take the whole week off. You should definitely have a lighter week but by Wednesday you should be fine to run again. No need for intense workouts. If you tapered before the race, I suggest a reverse taper afterwards!

Marathon? At most I personally would run one a year. I do one or two halfs a year. I don't do many 5Ks anymore because they're so short but I love 10k, 15k, and half marathon distances. I try and do a race a month. Over the summer I'll switch to triathlons

It doesn't really matter what everyone says about Applebee's right to fire the waitress. If their actions in firing her causes them to lose more business than telling a cheap skate customer "sorry" and slapping the wrist of the fired employee...Applebees can have all the 'rights' in the world. They still messed up because…

The pastor had a goal...hurt the waitress in the only way she could. Which was to leave no money. That sort of maliciousness should be made public.

Why exactly does the pastor deserve to maintain privacy? Its a private establishment, not the US government. If you're an idiot, let's trumpet that to the world. Maybe a bit of ridicule will make people think twice about being a moron.

Weight loss is pretty simple. Eat less exercise more. And fruit doesn't make you fat.

I would log the 280. You won't gain weight by going under ;) Its hardly exact anyway.

I do a tall cappuccino from Starbucks almost every morning. 90 calories. No syrup or anything...much better than their fancy drinks I think.

If you're looking for people's opinions on detoxes, then the only opinion on them is that they are awesome and will make you feel amazing, look amazing, lose weight and every other good thing you've heard. If you're looking for facts on them...they're a total waste of time and money.

It is all about calories. One small package of crisps might be less than an apple but I would bet you could eat far more crisps in a singe sitting than fruit. Noone gets fat eating just fruit!

No one ever got fat because they were eating too much avacado.

Your numbers Obesity Index 22bmi BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National Below average You have a lower BMI than 90% of males aged 30-44 in your country Global Below average You have a lower BMI than 66% of males aged 30-44 in the world Did you know? If everyone in the world had the same BMI…

I hate the dreadmill but I just ran a marathon 2 weeks ago that was probably 50% trained for on the dreadmill. Its easier than outdoors but its still running.

I was driving through Atlanta on Thursday night and I passed the Varsity. This thread had me in the mood for a hot dog so I stopped there...definitely some awesome dogs there. Had a slaw dog and a chili slaw dog. Delicious.

Some of the best ways I've enjoyed hotdogs: Mustard, onion, relish Slaw, Chili Slaw, Baked beans Peanut butter (I swear its good)

Vegetables are so varied in taste and texture that this doesn't really make much sense to me. A tomato is as different from a carrot as broccoli is from an apple. I think, since you acknowledge its mostly mental, you should try conditioning yourself to eat them. Once you acquire the taste for something your brain will…
