My first marathon is Saturday
My first marathon is Saturday and Im so nervous. I was having knee issues towards the end of training, and ended up doing physical therapy. Long story short, they said it was basicly stretching issus so they had me doing a lot of stretching. But basicly in doing this they had me take almost four weeks off of running. Im so…

All runners I'm freaking out please help!
I'm training for my first marathon on November 9. I have done something to my knee. About three weeks ago I ran 16 and got pain towards the end, but was able to finish. The following week I was scheduled to run 20 and had to stop at 16 due to very bad pain in my left knee. I took the following week off and did no running…

clueless- stupid question
Okay so I just really started tracking my food. Ive been on this site for a while but am ashamed to say for the most part I was just on here to read the threads and didnt really focus on tracking my food. So I started tracking and found that even if I stay under or at my alloted calories I go over the other areas usually…

Marathon training and refueling
I am currently training for my first marathon...EEK! My question is does anyone have a preference of what you use to refuel during runs? Ive only done half marathons so far so Ive never used any gels or goos. But Im assuming with the longer runs I am going to have to use something. Also any other advice would be greatly…

asylum is going to kill me!
My huband bought me asylum for my birthday since I just finished insanity and loved it! I didnt do the fit test yet but I was so anxious to get to it that I did the first workout. I felt so stupid and uncoordinated! I had to rewind it every move to watch and try to get it down and even then I was pretty much just jumping…

tap out xt or asylum
has anyone done either of these programs? I have a few weeks left of insanity and was wondering which one to purchase when Im done? I realize they are completely different programs. Im leaning more towards tap out because I love fighting moves but was wondering if anyone had any feedback on it! Thanks!

Running Speedwork
So I have been running for a little over a year now. I have completed a few half marathons and eventually would like to do a full marathon...hopefully! But Im starting to get a little competitive edge on me and I no longer just want to log the miles I want to be faster! Each run I feel myself getting more frustrated with…

abs/eating clean question
Ill try and make this quick. My abs are driving me crazy the bottom part! I have obliques and top parts. Ive obviously read on here mulitple times about not being able to spot reduce.

question for all you awesome runners
I recently started running. I am up to three miles in right at 30 minutes. I have two goals, I would like to complete a half martathon and I would like to become faster. So what should my training be right now? Should I up my miles or should i stick at the three miles and push myself to become faster?

another stupid question Im full of them:)
So today after my tabata class I actually marched my self into the free weight section even though I have been terrified to do it! But I want to start "lifiting heavy" as I hear thats the best for results. I only did squats because pretty much thats the only thing I know how do to! I enjoyed it but I just feel so lost and…

stupid question....
I see all the 'lift heavy" and do heavy squats. Is everyone doing squats with weighted bars or dumbells? I do tons of squats at home wtih my dumbells (but they are only ten pounds). Just curious as to if that will get me results or if I should acutally step foot into my gym besides going to kickboxing and bootcamp classes.…

Ripped in 30 weights?

Should I buy lighter weights or try and just push through and struggle a little bit and hopefully get stronger? I dont want to sacrifice form but i dont…
