putting on weight post exercise?
Hi. I am training for the 100k Thames Path Chellenge at the end of September and did my 50k training walk on saturday in 30 degree heat. I drank plenty of water and gatorade and kept hydrated etc. I weighed this morning and I have put on 4lbs?? DO you think this is because maybe I haven't kept hydrated afterwards? I did…

Gatorade pre workout

Hit a wall running!
Hi. I run 3/4 times per week between 2-4 miles each time. In the last 3 weeks I have hit a wall and find it very difficult to run without feeling exhausted almost immediately. I am fine if running with others and I really enjoy it but there has been no one to run with lately and in the past running solo with my music has…

First mile record!!

Running with Shin Splints?
I have these blighters back again! I don't know whether its my new trainers that I had fitted to me or just that I am now running 5 times a week.

Can I lose weight running 4 times a week?
Hi. I am not new to MFP or to exercise or diet but over the past few weeks/months my weight has stabilised so I decided to drop all weight training and have fallen in love with running. I do a zumba class once a week but the rest of my exercise is running 4 times a week on average 15 miles spread out over those days. I run…

Glucosamine and Epilepsy
Hi. Quite a tricky question unless you are in the know... My friend has epilepsy and she is suffering from aching knees after running. I suggested she take glucosamine but she says she can't due to epilepsy. Is there anything like Glucosamine she can take? I also suggested Creatine for the aching :smile: Thanks in advance

Don't think I am eating enought to lose?

From what I am eating and what I need to maintain I should be losing 2lbs a week but am not? Some days I am…

Anyone in the UK doing the High Peak Winter trail challenge?
I will be doing this with my 12 year old son and 11 year old Nephew. Its a walk of 17 miles in the peak district. Just wondered how people prepare for walks like this? It is for the British Heart Foundation :-) Any advice on training would be greatly received as I am a runner but have the kids to stop me doing that :-)
