I guess I don't see the rudeness in that....but then again I am not one to waste time getting upset over other's actions or words

good job on the PR Eva

What will you do with the information the heart rate monitor gives you? We are a very techy society and I do log my distances and pace because I use this information. I had a heart rate monitor years ago but realized I was doing nothing with the information it was giving me. If the information is not "actionable," why…

I am hungry and I hate all of you! :wink:

shoes are a very personal thing.....I myself am an absolute shoe *kitten* and do not have a "favorite," only some that I like more than others. I would consider what type of terrain you will be using it in. I have some Salomon's that I will use if it is particularly muddy but otherwise I run in something with a less…

I kind of enjoy the workout induced aches and pains....gives me a sense of accomplishment. I also enjoy the fact that I recover so quickly now!

Lincoln National Guard Marathon 3:09:37! A new PR and it was a HOT day!!

I think that is a decision you will need to make yourself. How important is the freedom of no contract to you; do you desire a pool?; is walking to your workout appeal to you more than driving to "nicer" equipment?

I have wanted to run a Ragnar, but I cannot commit to anything yet.

Saw a neat shirt the other day, "forward IS a pace!"

instagram alexjeanfitness has some good bodyweight routines. Neila Rey has some killer workouts too, look her up on the internet.

I am an ELMO eater (eat less more often) That is the ONLY way to go and if you don't agree with me you are wrong. I am also a bit opinionated and passionate over trivial things. ;)

Wow!!! Great job litsy

Awesome work and good time!!

I suppose we all have our opinions. Mine is that running is not bad for your knees. Now OVERUSE is bad for anything, to include your knees, hips and ankles. As we age, what our body is capable of doing may diminish and by trial and error we learn where that line is that separates the adaptive qualities of running (the…

I eat a lot of different things, but I seem to have a cast iron gut. For marathons I will carry a gel with some caffeine to give me a little boost towards the end. Outside of that I will eat whatever they provide at the aid stations to include bananas, oranges, cookies. During the Des Moines Marathon I even stopped to…

I agree with tufel

my resting heart rate is in the mid 50's. I believe I am just healthy

Running puts stress on your knees and hips....stress can lead to injury as well. However, my knees and hips are carrying 25lbs (11.5kg) less for the rest of the day. Additionally by repeatedly stressing those joints you condition them against injury. It is a tightrope you walk between optimum performance and injury.…

Hello, my name is Curt.....I kind of eat clean, however I think if I quit drinking beer I would wither away. I am a runner, all other fitness activities are simply to support my running.

This time of year, many shoe stores are discounting last years models. I would go there and try on multiple types of shoes and find one that works for you. Let them know you are on a budget and they should work with you.

There are a lot of resources available for this. In instagram you can follow alexajeanfitness or howtoshedfat. The internet has many resources such as Neila Rey darebee.com/

Never heard of it as Chi running, it sounds like good running form. If you look at professional runners, they appear relaxed.

sounds like a question for the apple store or one of the apple forums

If you are on instagram you can find many good videos of home exercises to do. Look up alexajeanfitness. She does a lot of home exercises and her child is even in many of the videos. She also has a website alexajeanbrown.com/alexajeanfitness/

I'm tossing the flag on this one :D

quit focusing on the scale!! You also mention that you a drinking lot of water. My weight can vary by a lot based on water weight. I am a bit direct there but realize that fitness is a journey, not a step.You have been doing this for less than three weeks

I would be suspect of the measuring device. Try the low tech method of taking your pulse when you first step off the treadmill. Find your pulse and count the number of heartbeats you feel for thirty seconds then multiply by two. Your personal trainer should be able to show you how to do this.

Hard to say, my pace will vary a lot based on conditions. Obviously my trail runs are much slower then runs on the road, but my pace will be slowed considerably by heat, humidity, high wind, hard route, use of a hydration bladder and sometimes due to my pre run diet. I keep a running log so I can look at a run and know…

Advice is all well and good but remember that you can have "experts" that give conflicting advice. Can you do it.....of course you can. Should you is another matter all together. I would look at your schedule and be realistic about your goals and determine what it is you want and how best to get there. It sounds like you…
