  • Rest days are really important. I started with C25K a little over a year ago and just completed my first half marathon in April. Even with those distances, I still think it is important to NOT run every day. I typically run 3-4 days a week with cross training the other days (elliptical, bike) and at least one full REST day…

  • Had you worked your way up to the 11 miles? In my training plan, I usually did 4-5 miles twice a week with 1 long run on the weekend (never anything over 10 miles).

  • At 5'7" and 160 lbs, your BMI is 25.1. A BMI greater than 25 is "overweight". If you lost even 1 pound, you would be "normal". I agree with the post above that the trainer is CLEARLY trying to get clients. I have two things to say about that: 1. Run, run the other direction as quickly as you can. 2. Report the absurdity to…
