  • My big surprise is that I actually enjoy running now. I was always a fan of lifting but running was something "thinner people do", you know because "I didnt have a runners body". Well, turns out I was just lying to myself because it was easier than trying. I now run because I want to and I feel completely free and detached…
  • Big fan. When I was getting back into running it helped keep my interest on a few of my longer boring runs. It's a little wonky with playlists as stated above but to be honest, I normally run without music anyway so it's not a deal breaker. When you do have music playing, occasionally you can't hear the people talking to…
  • Saw them 13 times, met Darrell twice. Sad that some whack job in my home state shot him. I still listen to Down all the time; seen them 4 times now. Phil has definitely toned down a lot since their heyday but his voice probably couldnt handle it much longer.
  • Damn, I knew metal was my preference but I'm actually kind of shocked of how many seemingly "normal" people love it as well, especially the ladies. Been a metal head since I was about 12 years old. Brother had me obsessed with the old school thrash metal of the 80's (MOD, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Exodus, etc). As I…
  • Ok I think I sent a request to everyone on page 15 since they were all relatively recent requests (was in a hurry so I may have missed one or two...) Look forward to seeing your runs..... and beating them.. :-)
  • I too would like to have a few friends to compete against. Currently run about 3-4 times a week with no one to compare with. Add me if you feel so inclined. Username: Gatlen
  • I don't like prepping animals for eating but its one of the things that would have to be done in an apocalypse situation. In small groups, it would generally be a duty for everyone but if a small cluster of people were to hold up together, I imagine those more proficient in the task would take up most of the duties. If an…
  • As far as eating healthy and eating according to the whole zombie run ideals, I'm doing ok i think. I'm a low carb person so I survive mostly on meat and cheese (both of which I can obtain or make on my own) along with greens and certain nuts.
  • And thats the main part I don't think most people seem to get. We may all be human in some form but we are not all alike. I've known people that literally survive on snacks. A few guys I knew when I was in the army ate snack cakes and candy all the time, rarely any real food. They were both bean poles. Another guy I knew…
  • If you don't know anything about it, never tried it and don't adhere to it yourself, then why in the hell would you be posting in a topic asking for low carb friends?
  • The way i look at it is if they can lose tons of weight eating tons of carbs, great. That amazing for them. I'm legitimately happy that they were able to meet their goals and still chow down on bread. Not everyone is the same though. Some people seem to be extremely carb sensitive and even if they are under their calories…
  • @Babydeigo87 - Everyone wants support when taking on a new task. If you lost weight eating carbs, good job. Well done in fact. Not everyone loses the same. I've been in ketosis for about 2 months now and I feel great. I run everyday and lift every other day. I feel like I have a lot more energy than I had before and I…
  • I've been under 30 carbs for the past few months and feel amazing. I run every day (lighter on lifting days) and still have plenty of energy. After I got through the initial hell of my brain shutting down on me for the first few days, everything has been great. I don't even crave carby foods like I used to. Some people dig…
  • Thanks everyone for your thoughts on the matter. Think I may just skip the remaining missions in the 5k app and jump right into the main program. I'm guessing I'd be able to find the audio for the missions I skip and at least listen to the remainder of the story while I'm sitting at my desk at work. My wife ordered me a…
  • Oh yeah and the other big thing. Research muscle catabolic state. "A catabolic state is a condition that is mainly caused by excessive training coupled with a lack of adequate nutrition, especially protein. It results in numerous undesirable side effects in the body, such as extreme fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and…
  • Heres a quick article from a site.. dont remember which but i had it saved to my hard drive... You’ve just finished one of your best workouts. Do you know what—and when—you need to eat in order to maximize your results? We’ve got the answers right here. With our earlier article focusing entirely on what to eat before…
  • Tessloowhoo, It all depends on his goal. I'm assuming since he's trying to get an allotted amount of 1200 calories, he's trying to lose weight. I'm on a ketogenic diet so I have no problem hitting calorie intake for the day as my macros are set for 60/30/10 (Fat/Protein/Carbs) Fat grams equal to about 9 calories a piece…
  • My wife has a Fitbit Flex, I have a Jawbone UP. Both work quite well and having it there on your wrist is if anything a reminder to get to stepping more often. We both have an almost addictive tendency to get our steps up for the day and beat each other but we've noticed the Flex seems to give my wife a lot more steps in…
