10K Training Program Suggestions
Hello! I apologize if this topic has already been posted, but I'm looking for feedback on 10k training programs. I know about Bridge to 10K, but I don't want to do intervals anymore. I loved them during C25K in the beginning, but by the end of I found it breaks my stride/momentum. I can comfortably run a 5k, and my once a…

Eating Before a Race
I am running a night 5k tonight at 8:30. What do you think should be my last meal before the race, and when should I eat it? I was thinking something with a lot of carbs around 4 pm. I don't want to be too full to race, or too hungry. If I find myself getting hungry before I leave the house, I'll just eat a tablespoon of…

Personal Trainer?
I really want to increase my strength training routine, but I am intimidated by the machines and even free weights at the gym. I've tried watching videos, but it doesn't come intuitively to me.

After rearching online, I'm convinced that I was experiencing shin splints. The pain mostly subsided…

Home made salad dressing ideas?
I've been searching for a healthier salad dressing and have come to the conclusion that the only way to find one is to make it yourself! Even organic dressings, such as Annie's, are loaded with added sodium and sugar. So far I've tried equal parts half tablespoon olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing (only 60 calories!),…

Thinking of doing C25K
I've been exercising 3-6 times per week for 2 and a half months now. I go to fitness classes including dancing, yoga, and spin, take long walks, and use the elliptical. I LOVE working out. I hate running, but I want to be good at it. For me, being able to run a few miles in a decent time is a measure of fitness. I…

Daily Calorie Allowance Question
I have a question about my daily calorie goal, which is set at 1560 based on my basal metabolic rate. I am a 24 y/o female, 5'9" and 160lbs. I want to lose 10 lbs.
