  • thanks for all the input. so i'm not going to mess with carb timing at this point as i'm happy with my performance (like sara, i work out fasted in the am and tend to eat about 1/2 of my daily calories at night). but i would love more info on the benefits of concentrated refeeds / carb cycling vs gradual increase of carbs…

  • I just started adding sprinting once a week and it's been really fun and made a big difference! I just swapped out one of my shorter (4-5 mile) runs and now I'll do one of the following instead: - 3.5 miles - 3/4 mile warm up, 2 mile sprint intervals, 3/4 mile cool down - 4 miles - 1/2 mile warm up, 1 mile sprint…

  • twin mommies unite! you look great - congrats on your accomplishment! my twins are 6 1/2, and while i only gained 40 lbs with my pregnancy, that twin skin is a killer! after losing 20 lbs over the past year, i now have lean and muscular arms and legs, but my twin skin and naturally apple shaped body have conspired to keep…
