Need Runner’s Opinion
I have been learning to run over the last 4 weeks (today is middle of 4th). Running three times a week on a program that uses walk-run drills and free form runs of increasing length. I feel like I have been pretty reasonable about it, and don’t think I’ve been overdoing it at all (though of course pushing to improve).…

Best online resources (personal trainers or experienced persons only)
This is a question for either a personal trainer, or someone who has been working on their own health and fitness long enough to know what they are talking about.

So This Is A Little Weird
... I'm not overly alarmed, but I'm trying to make sense of something... I have been on mfp from the first week of January... MFP started me with a calorie goal of 1200, but that left me pretty hungry, so i raised it to 1400 myself.... I did not, at this point, have a food scale, or a bathroom scale, so I'm not sure what…
