The only reason for that I can think of is running a race in a shirt you never tried before is generally a bad idea. I wouldn't want to run a longer race and then find out underway that a sewing is scratching me.

Does that mean at a deficit? Because you can live off kale and brussel sprouts and gain weight if you eat enough of them :) If you don't do it already, then measure all your food on a kitchen scale, put it in myfitnesspal and be careful how many of your exercise calories you eat back. Exercise is usually overestimated no…

5K: 20:28 at the age of 33. It's almost 7 years ago and my most recent 5K was 23:33, trying to regain some speed and still hope to break 20:00 some day.

Personally I would have been up so that I could eat at least 2 hours before the race and would have eaten oats with milk + coffee. But it's something I've done before countless races and training runs so I know what works for me.

I have a subscription to audible and listen while running. Must have gone through +1000 hours of books soon.

I have been doing stronglifts for 3 months (so squatting 3xweek currently at 87.5 kg for squat) in addition to running and I am male so should have good chances of growing, but most of the time i have been eating at slight deficit or at maintenance. So far I can see a visual difference as my legs look more muscular, but no…

I totally agree, however if you are normally eating at a deficit to lose weight, I would eat at maintenance a day or two before. Eating a huge meal the day before is just going to leave you feeling heavy.

Depends on distance and temperature. Outside I would typically plant some water along the route (hide a bottle in the woods for example) if I run more than 25 km as I hate running while carrying anything. The times I am forced to run inside on a treadmill I always sip water if it's more than a couple of km, since it's…

msdianan65: just give it a day or who, you'll most likely be back down.

I don't think running shops are always the only answer (I've run 7000 km in shoes I'm told are wrong for me and get knee pain every time I've tried the recommended stability shoes), those adidas look pretty weird, but who knows, maybe that is the future :)

Depends on wet/wind. Some years ago I ran a few hours in -8c which is not too bad, but it was quite windy and snowing and my gloves got soaked quickly. The day after the run my hands were filled with blisters, so I had some level of frostbite. I've run in colder than that before with no problems and definitely gained some…

If you eat right and train, by March you can definitely improve yourself in a way that will make a huge impact and surprise your husband. Focus on that instead whether of it's 20 or 15 pounds.

For cardio I absolutely hate it, for lifting it's OK, but would really prefer if I could do it at home and alone.

You could probably get through it for the first few weeks while the weights are not too heavy, but I estimate that I personally would have failed without rest days after 3-4 weeks at most.

When I first changed my lifestyle around 7 years ago, I started by logging everything I ate, running and watching all the seasons of the biggest looser I could find. There was a lot of fast forwarding through the emotional talks which didn't really inspire me, but I loved seeing the transformations. Definitely motivated…

I have Jabra move which I use in the gym when lifting. There are few things in the world I hate more than having my ears yanked on when the headset wire gets caught, but one of them is running with my phone bouncing around, so when running I still use a small sandisk sansa mp3 player and some wired earbuds.

Normally it just works, but yesterday I also had double calories. I'm just waiting for things to settle.

I am currently doing: Monday: stronglifts Tuesday: easy/recovery run Wednesday: stronglifts Thuesday: tempo or interval run Friday: stronglifts Saturday: rest Sunday: long run

Every day, but I also know and accept that some days it's going to jump up a kilo or two for no apparent reason.

I've had it a few times from running and The Sock (https://thesock.com/) has taken care of it in 1-2 days each time. As for it spreading to knees and back, I have never hard of that, perhaps check with your doctor to make sure it's not something else if you have not already done so.

I have a 235 and also use tapiriik to keep everything in sync between connect, endomondo and runkeeper. I paid so it's automatically, it's $2/year. As for forcing the watch to sync, I find just opening the app on my phone usually does the trick.

Since you already have some distance running under your belt, I would suggest you start by incorporating striders into the end of some of your runs (http://www.runnersworld.com/ask-coach-jenny/how-to-run-striders). You would probably also benefit from tempo/threshold runs, I'd suggest starting out with one run a week where…

I meet with one around once a month, first time to get introduction to lifting and now to make sure my form is good and get pointers on what I should work on. Especially the first session was really valuable.

You're welcome to add me. I'm am also training for a spring marathon (May).

Mine is very supportive of the goal, but doesn't really understand that I always need to go to the gym or go for a run. For me it's very important to have a plan and then stick to it. I can't just skip workouts whenever I don't feel like it or it's not optimal in my schedule as I know from experience it's a slippery slope…

There is Zwift: http://zwift.com/ it's not a dedicated spin bike, but same concept. You just need an indoor trainer and supported device (ant+ powermeter or speed cadence device such as garmin gsc-10)

Years ago I lost around 30 kg while drinking around 2 liters of Pepsi Max each day. Didn't seem to affect my weight loss negatively.

I don't log strength training and for cardio I eat back part of the calories. No set amount but probably in the 25-50% range usually.

I spend Christmas in my fiancee's home country and tried just about all the traditional food I could. This morning I was 1.2kg up compared to the 22nd December, but hopefully much of it is just from eating more carbs than usual. I managed a single 5 km run as my total exercise for the period, but since we where in the…

I have never run a timed mile, but have run a 5K with 6:36 min/mile pace, so i guess better than that. At that time i was following a marathon training plan. I started at 220 pounds btw. Sub 10 min mile should definitely be possible with a bit of training, my best advice would be to just run more to start with, forget…
