  • Thanks for the article, I think I have made all of them, especially starting too fast. I have never run negative splits.
  • I use RunKeeper.com and the iPhone app to track my walking, hiking, running and biking miles and minutes.

  • OK, just added to the link. I was not aware of you tracking there. Thanks.
  • Ran 4 miles at 9 min/mile pace at 4:00am. Much warmer today than yesterday. Feels good to get the workout in early.
  • I use RunKeeper Pro on my iPhone. It is great for cardio workouts, like running, hiking and walking. There is a feature where you can set up a personal trainer to provide audio cues when you want to change speeds (like intervals). I currently set mine to walk for 3 minutes and then run for 8 minutes. The trainer keeps…

  • I have four kids and no time to work out except in the mornings before work and I am usually at work by 7:30am. So I try to get up and out the door by 4am so I can get a long walk or run in. I am going for consistency. This week I have been up at that time 3 out of 4 days with a 7 mile walk, a 4 mile run and a 7 mile run.

  • I run with a fuel belt and hike with a camelback. I hate the sloshing around that accompanies the camelback. I have run several marathons and the fuel belts always worked well. Another benefit of the fuel belt is that if you like to alternate between a sports drink and plain water you can fill each fuel belt bottle with…
  • Hey all, I am new to this site and to this forum. My main goal for this spring is to become more consistent with walking, running and eating right. I have been on a roller coaster of eating well and exercising often to being sedentary and eating poorly for my whole life. Short term goal is to lose 10 pounds in March and 25…
  • I am in also. As I am new to this site (a bit over 1 week) this will be my first monthly challenge. Starting weight is 170.6
  • I only drink water on runs of less than 10 miles and add GU every 4 miles for runs over 10 miles. If I am training for a marathon and running in excess of 15 miles, I will mix water with a sports drink and carry both the mixture and plain water during the run. On race day, I alternate water and whatever sports drink they…
