I have seen a lot of what dvdlover posts and this...well, it needs pasta. I think dvdlover would agree.

I was going to say what Jen said. You're really just looking for a quick absorbing sugar so the fruit chew would work. I like the shot blocks as one of my options though.

Yep, pretty much what I was thinking. But hey, it's your call.

I have done a 12 person team, never a 6. - One of the coolest things I saw was the ladies packed all their outfits, shorts, shirt, socks, etc., for each leg, in individual plastic baggies. Seemed pretty convenient. - As for food, eat what you want that you know you can keep down while running. You have a little time to…

This, plain and simple.

In for responses. Right now I take my Galazy S3, already big and only gonna get bigger when I upgrade, out of its case and it goes in a plastic baggie in my pack next to my bladder. Not convenient but it works. Or I put it in my vest which works but bounces and is smoetimes annoying. Definitely looking for more convenient…

I get up at 3:30 and don't eat until 8 and sometimes run 8 miles in between. Works just fine for me. But I also go to bed around 9 or 9:30 and eat right before then so that helps.

Decided to join, be part of the cool kids. 200 might be a bit high with 2 races but I've never been good at tapering anyway.

So you say you want to do cardio with no carbs...good luck with that man. Carbs are good and you don't need to reduce them to lose weight.

I am pretty sure this is what I have been battling lately. I kept running with it (increased my mileage actually). Probably not the smartest but I did. It has slowly gotten better and I can run with pretty much no issues now. I'd say keep running if it doesnt hurt just be aware of changes and how it affects the rest of…

Peanut butter, yogurt, cereal

I either use Pam or I lightly coat the pan and wipe away any excess. Not too concerned with it.

Only advice is to have a great time. I haven't ran this far so I will let people who are more qualified weigh in with actual advice :). As for your drop bags I would say what you have planned is good. From what I have read, not much difference in drop bag prep...just more of the same. Can't wait to read the blog on this…

I usually get about 120-140 but I am eating 3500 cals a day. You can look at my diary for ideas. I haven't needed powders or protein bars to hit that either and I limit my soy. I do kind of like the Qorn products, fake meat, not soy.

I don't follow much of a plan but midweek for me tops out at about 9-10...twice usually. Or I'll throw a double in there to get me in the 12-13 range. But again, no real plan here...just what feels good. And to add, I still get in a 9 the week before my race and drop to about 6 the week of.

That looks more like peanut butter and marshmallow fluff...mmmm....fluffernutter sandwiches.

This...so very much this. And I believe that's strawberry there...the best kind of j.

A lot of people have lost weight simply by following the guidance and information available here. You may feel it's too high but until you start using the app the way its intended you won't know. Eat food, follow the links above, and oh yeah, eat food.

This is a good option I use every so often. But mostly, less chocolate is the better way to go.

Pretty much this. Training for this is really just about running on relatively tired legs. And I haven't heard if Grandpas' is back on the trail or if it's on the sidewalk/trail they had it last year. It was flat too so not too hard.

<Insert Wayne's World "We're Not Worthy" gif here> You are amazing. Very honored to have you as a friend.

Hell yeah man, awesome work.

Kathy Ireland...yeah, still hot

I just started getting up at 3ish on Tuesdays and Thursdays just to get in a longer run because it fits better there. So headlamp, reflective vest, and all, I make time. You have time. If you don't want to get up at 5 don't, but like others have pointed out, plenty of time in the schedule you provided to exercise.

I did a bit of unconventional training and maybe I just got lucky. I only ran 3 times a weeks and my mid week miles peaked at 13, a 5 and an 8 usually. I ran 23 2 weeks before my full, again probably against conventional wisdom. But there is value in the taper...a lot. I guess what I am saying is that you have options. But…

5'9"ish, 163 and I eat 3400+ to maintain. Yeah, you need to get help and pretty much noone here is qualified to give it to you.

"Heavy Cardio"...this made me laugh actually. I've heard good things about C25K. Or just start running and see how long you can go then try again the next time and go a bit further. And for god sakes, stay off the treadmill unless you have to. Get outside and do you "heavy cardio".

When I played football, at 13, we lifted weights. Just the basics to get stronger. If he wants to, and has no medical reason why he shouldnt, I say have at it.

so maybe plan for everything. I would put extra shoes and socks, maybe a light jacket, food that you prefer that is not supplied at a normal aid station, some body glide or band aids ( if you use the stuff), it's really what ever you think you could want...just in case. Plus if you start with a jacket because its chilly or…
