Clean eaters/runners I need your help.
Confession time and a question: I have been training for this half marathon and I haven't been strength training like I should be. So my goal starting this week is to start that. I plan on doing Chalean Extreme Lean phase because I know that's the phase with the best results. (I've completed two rounds of it before). I…

Restarting... Looking for friends
I am restarting tomorrow. I graduated the program back in May. I ran my first 5k at the end of May with a time of 50:04. I ran very little over the summer. When I started again I was using bridge to 10 k because I liked the 10 minute intervals at the beginning. Then I stopped running all together at the end of August. I…

Hi. I'm new. And terrified. LMAO.
Hi. I'm Allison. They just opened a brand spanky new box in my area, the only one in the area. I know some people from other forums who crossfit and love it. I really want to try it. I'm really terrified. 1. This is one of those irrational- it's probably just me- fears. You know the joke "I have to get in shape to go to…

Replacing running shoes
When should you replace running shoes? I've had mine since the end of March. I'm a beginner runner and I've only logged about 125 miles on them. But I'm still pretty heavy and IDK if that takes a toll on the life of the shoe or not. I imagine a shoe worn by a 244 pound woman would wear out faster than one worn by a 144…

I feel like a slug...
I have gotten out of the habit of exercising regularly (like 6 days a week) because I have worked midnight shift most of the summer. I'm so tired and sluggish. IDK if it's the lack of sleep or lack of exercise or both.

Done with c25k.... now what?
I did the C25K program. I did my 5k yesterday in 50:09. I walked a lot more than I anticipated. I ran a whole 3.2 miles 3 times leading up to yesterday and I could run the whole time, only stopping 1 or 2 times to stretch. Like I said, yesterday I walked a lot. I know the heat was a huge factor. So now what. Should I start…

Trouble with the end of c25k
I'm in the last week of c25k and I find myself struggling to get through these runs. This hasn't happened to this point. I mean I'm stopping in places I've never had to stop. My legs and calves are so sore. Yes I was fit for my running shoes. It's just these longer runs. IDK if I'm not stretching enough or what is going on…

I won free shoes!!
I woke up today (I worked last night) to an email from Fleet Feet in Pittsburgh, Pa. I had been there getting fitted for running shoes and signed up to win a free pair. And I won!! Woohoo. Now the dilemma is this- When I was there I tried on Asics Gel 3030's and the Brooks Adrenaline 12's. I went with the Asics to run in.…

Turbofire burn out??
I'm in week 11 and getting burnt out. I feel the need to change things up. I also do Chalean Extreme so I just need something cardio-y. Lol. I don't know if I'm quite physically ready for insanity yet. Thoughts?

Losing pounds but not inches
Tomorrow will end 6 weeks eating better and 5 weeks working out. I've lost 15.4 pounds. The frustrating part is that my clothes aren't fitting any better. I would think they would be by now.

Turbofire people... shoes?
What kind of shoes do you wear when you do Turbofire? I have a pair of Saucony progrid 3's that are old running shoes that I've been wearing. They have lost any cushion they had and it's causing my knees and feet to hurt.

C25K grads... question
I'm week 4 day 2 of C25K. To this point I have been strictly running on a school track. I'm thinking tonight when go I'm going to just go through town. I don't want to be in shock when I run my 1st 5K in September because I prepared on a flat track, KWIM? So how bad is it going to suck?

Calorie burn
So I did some turbo fire today and when I logged it it said I burned 818 calories. Now, I know I need to get a HRM to be sure but how accurate is the calculator? I worked hard, it was a 45 minute workout. But I don't feel like it was 818.

foot cramps, leg pain when working out
Whenever I workout I get pain in my ankles and feet. I'm 270 ish pounds so IDK if it's related to my overweight/out of shapeness. I was doing turbo fire today when it happened but I was barefoot. It happens when I do C25K too. My husband says when I'm running, my shoes might be too tight. I was fitted for shoes. Help!
