new to lifting? a full body program 3 days a week is recommended. Starting Strength, Stronglifts 5x5, Ice Cream Fitness, etc.

Do you weigh everything that goes into you mouth? sauces? do you count/measure liquids and beverages? what do you have your calories set at? you're either eating too many calories or over estimated your calorie needs

I've got this too, I'm pretty sure it's a varicose vein, not looking forward to when it starts hurting. You can get them from putting a lot of pressure on your legs i.e. squat, deadlifts, running, etc.

You're best bet is to practice the events as they have them. This will build up your fitness as well as get you use to those movements. I've taken a few public safety fitness tests and those that practiced the events as they were laid out did far better than those who came in thinking they would ace it because they were…

Usually on my last set of nights (12 hr shifts) i'll sleep from 7-noon, get a workout in, and then that way i'm on a somewhat normal schedule as well for my 3 days off. It really depends on what time your plans are for that day. If you're going to get less than 4 hours sleep if you workout, i'd say skip it.

Happens to me a lot usually the night or day after a long run when it's really hot... I find that I have to drink a ton more water than normal

I used a plan from hal Higdon and did stronglifts. You may want to cut squats down to 2 days instead of three depending on the weight you're doing but that's up to you. Run slow, and realize you're legs will be tired and it will suck. But it is very doable.

Watch your calorie intake. Make time to exercise. You'll have more free time than you think, but you might have to be creative. I took 21 credits, worked full time and still had time to workout for 1.5 hours a day. You can make it work, if you want it to

Touch n go on my lighter warm ups. Full reset on work set(s)

Speed will come with adding in more distance. With that said, feel free to run a little faster than what he recommends sometime if you feel like you can. Some days I run faster, some days I run slower... It won't hurt to push yourself once in awhile. Now as far as signing up its only an extra 3.1 miles. You could add a…

Second the scoobys recommendation. I also add in regular planks

Girl talk - all day was my go to album for close to a year. Now I just throw on slacker radio

Switch to a heavy lifting beginners program (starting strength, stronglifts, etc) Eat 250 calories above maintence to "slow bulk" Realize you'll gain *some fat* in addition to muscle, but if you keep the surplus low you'll minimize fat gain.
-
Look into running plans thAt keep your runs to 3 days a week but start adding distance to those runs. Hal Higdon has some good plans for example, I'm currently following one of his half marathon training plans
-
Adding distance and weightlifting (squats/dead lifts) have helped me dramatically
-
I'm doing a half training plan and do the starting strength lifts 3 days a week. I know what you mean about being super fatigued and not enjoying running, as that is how I feel. What I did is cut my squat weight down to a weight that was heavy but I don't progressively load every workout, but I do it every week or so. Also…

Yeah that isn't nearly enough to be considered a decent workout. At 175/5'9 you should be able to curl more than 10 lbs, and you'd want to have way less reps. Look into a beginning strength program like starting strength or stronglifts, join a gym or get some real equipment and do it to it. You could also look into body…

They also start out huge, so they can lose a ton of weight in the beginning, which is also why their weightloss slows to a crawl at the end. Their weeks also vary in length as that interview suggests. Also sports drinks are just as bad for you as pop if you aren't involved in intense athletic events. Our body is pretty…
-
Do currently do the compound lifts right now or are going to be starting with 5/3/1? 5/3/1 is more of an intermediate program as you move up weight slower than you would on a beginner program, so if you haven't done the big lifts with any degree of regularity it'd suggest something like starting strength or stronglifts…
-
When you eat has very little effect on weightloss. Being in a calorie deficit is what causes weightloss. Are you counting calories?
-
Work on adding distance, and in turn that will help with speed (to a certain point)
-
Run slower Drink plenty of water pre run Bring water with you on the run.

I've started doing scoobys 3 minute ab workout after my workouts and have really noticed a difference. http://scoobysworkshop.com/3-minute-ab-workout/

Put a layer of deodorant on your nipples before you run, it works so well
-
I went through a period where rammstein was my go to. Now I just throw it on slacker radio. NIN is always good, along with soundgarden.
-
I haven't had any problems with it. I don't have the pro version though. What kind of problems are you experiencing?
-
I've used this for awhile. It also works excellent for starting strength
-
Also running on a treadmill is going to be easier than running outside as the treadmill kind if "propels" you along where as outside you have to use more power to propel yourself

For my training app I use Hal hidgeons half marathon training app. I use Nike+ to track it
