Can you? Probably. Should you? Probably not.

69.25. To the south the old forest ends.
-
What is your specific goal? What plan are you following?
-
Run slower. Then when you feel like you're going too slow, slow down more. Building endurance takes time.
-
I'm up and moving at 6am pacific, soon to be moving to 5am. Add me if that works!
-
Are you running every day? Sometimes you really need a rest day in the mix to prevent burn out.
-
63.25. The Old Forest is now very close.

I teach all year at a private school. Up to now I've been teaching the kindergarten prep class, but this fall I will be teaching kindergarten. I'm very excited! Fitness wise I'm 36, 5'8" and 194. Current goal is a marathon within the next year, so lots of running. Let's do this!

1. I have a cup of coffee as soon as I'm up and moving. I'm usually running 10 to 20 minutes after. 2. Currently I'm up at six, running no later than 6:30. 3. Some manner of protein bar. 4. More coffee after. It fills my belly with happy and makes me less stabby.

I'm going to jump on the shoe bandwagon. I was fitted for a fancy pair of shoes with padding, supports, etc., and running in them was hell. Knee and shin pain. I tried stretching, ice, heat, you name it and still pain. Then I got a pair of vibram toe shoes ( mostly to mess with a coworker) and noticed they were comfy to…

55.5. The Old Forest appears down the road. Where is everyone else?
-
ICF 5x5 is Ice Cream Fitness 5x5. A lot more accessory work. I passed on it because it uses cable lifts and I'm limited to what I can do with the power rack in my garage. A good program if you have access to cables, though.
-
NROLFW got too complicated for my tastes (finished stage 1 and 2) so I switched to strong lifts, which I loved except for rows. I then switched to Starting Strength since it has cleans instead of rows and am now perfectly happy.

Make sure to have a good cool down- don't just run it and stop. Even without asthma a sudden stop can be hard on the lungs.
-
52 miles. Three more miles until we stop for the night.
-
49, so I've crossed the Bridge and the road to Buckland goes south.
-
I'm currently training for a full and I agree with all of this. Go slow. Then slow down. I love the 21k runner for the half marathon training, too.
-
What I learned from my last half marathon is to make sure you have enough fuel in your tank to make it. I was ravenous after my run and hit the fruit station a little too hard. Kiwi tastes better going down.
-
38.5, getting close to Brandywine Bridge! Where's everyone else?
-
I love the 5k runner app. Clean, simple, and integrated music. Plus when you're done you can move on to the 10k runner app. ;)
-
C25k is a gateway drug. I completed it, then trained for a 10k, then a 12k, and now two half marathons later I'm training for a full. Be careful and wear good shoes!
-
I've done a sprint. Work on upper body and burpees- and prepare for a steep course.
-
Exercise is exercise. Stay with whatever makes you happy- though it's nice to have a an indoor option when the weather won't cooperate.
-
You're not going to gain huge amounts of muscle eating at a deficit regardless of what exercise you're doing.
-
No, there goes 75 pounds!
-
I plan my route ahead of time so I'm not running in unfamiliar areas. Be aware of your surroundings. If something doesn't feel right, run faster.

Never too late! Join us!!

23 miles in! At Frogmorton. Staying the night at the Floating Log and heading east in the morning. Zzzzzzz
-
Also, I'm 6 miles out from Frogmorton. Slow traveling.
