The Field Roast is good. The lentil balls from here are really nice: http://ohsheglows.com/2013/11/26/3-course-vegan-and-gluten-free-holiday-menu-step-by-step/

I'd increase your protein, particularly at breakfast.

- Calcium and tannins (found in tea) interfere with the absorption of iron so make sure you take it separately. - Vitamin C and B12 help the absorption of iron so take your iron with something rich in those like strawberries or an orange. - Shreddies, Chex cereal and cream of wheat are good sources of iron. - I like the…

Sorry, I meant to post this on the Fitness board.

My half marathon times are very similar to yours and I ran my first full marathon in 2009 in 4:46. You can do it! Don't doubt yourself. Go at a very comfortable pace. Start out slow. Fuel properly. Enjoy the experience. High five the kids, smile for the cameras etc. Expect there to be highs and lows physically and…

I think Shape missed a fabulous opportunity to discuss the reality of excess skin, how she feels about it, can it be prevented and what some of the options are for dealing with it.

Eat more! Start with breakfast. Aim for at least 10g of protein.

I have the LIVESTRONG® LSPRO2 Treadmill. It has a heavy duty motor - 3.25 HP. I was told to get 3 or higher if doing lots of running - speed work or LSDs on the treadmill. It has the up and down buttons for speed and incline put you can also manually put in a new speed or incline. There's the Passport interactive media…

Try increasing your protein, especially at breakfast.

I think you need more protein.

Hi. My running coach always had me build up to a distance that was more than the race. For example for my first 10k, my training schedule had me doing 2 10k and 1 11k training runs. For my first half-marathon, I did something like this 19k, 21k, 23k, 21k (sorry distances are kilometers - I am Canadian!) I did 32k as my…

Those people in the video are crazy fit. Don't compare yourself to them. Focus on your own progress. Maybe you can do x reps with x lbs. but next week it might be x +1. It's okay. You will be amazed at your progress if you just keep at it!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. I was in tears. You are a beautiful bride and wishing you a beautiful life together.

Hi. I was diagnosed last month so I'm just trying to adjust. I've noticed that the gluten-free products can be higher in calories, particularly the breads. I was shocked this weekend to discover that a small pizza crust was 500 calories. So check the labels and the portion sizes. Stick with lean proteins, lots of fruits…

Don't make someone a priority who makes you an option.

I'm sure you could finish - Definitely do some bricks - Think about what you are going to wear and test it out. You may have all the endurance in the world but if your clothing choices are making you uncomfortable then you will be miserable. - If you haven't done any open water swimming then do it. - Pace yourself so you…

The body does weird things sometimes. Definitely go to the doctors and get it checked out. Good luck.

Congratulations on your success. Welcome to the marathoner club. Yes, I totally get it. I think it's very normal. Don't feel guilty about it. Let your body rest. You may or may not get the bug to do another one. Do some runs where the only goal is to enjoy the experience. Meet up with some friends or take a route you…

Follow the program. Don't run more than 3 times per week. Going too far, too fast, too often will increase the chance of injury which is miserable. Listen to your body. You can cross train on your non-running days. Biking and swimming are good options. Yoga is a great compliment to running. Also work on building up your…

Yes, I lost almost a full shoe size! Luckily most of my shoes I bought as a poor university student so I didn't feel too bad having to go on a shoe shopping spree!

Rule 1: Have fun! Rule 2: Nothing new - wear that you know is comfortable, don't eat any new foods For your first one, truly just let your only goal be to finish and have fun. Don't worry about the time. You can try to beat that 1st time in your next race. You want to feel good the entire race so go at a really comfortable…

A reasonable time for a 5k? Well first of all don't compare your time to any other runner. It's all about seeing progress in your own running. Top athletes at races will finish a 5k around 13 to 20 minutes. Depending on the race (a fun run vs competitive) the biggest chunk of runners will finish between 25 to 35 minutes.…

I would suggest doing at least 1 half before the full, perferably several. It's a big jump. Good luck.

Every runner is different and you have to figure out what works for you and your stomach. I prefer morning runs. If I'm do a regular run (5-6k) then I won't eat anything. If I'm starving I'll have half a banana. If I'm doing a long run (10k- 32k) then I'll eat - usually almond butter on bread. I don't like the feeling of…

How long are you running?

Slow down. Speed will come with time. You shouldn't be sprinting or getting out of breath. You should be comfortable and not totally exhausted by the end of your run interval. Slow down.

Listen to your body. You can do a strength program. Building up a strong core will help you as a runner. Good cross-training activites: yoga, swimming, biking, walking Good luck.
