Training in the Cold
I am training for my first full marathon which is May 17th. I have done 3 half's but never had to train with long runs when it's so cold. I am supposed to do 10 miles this weekend but the 'feel's like' temp is 7° F and it's only supposed to go down from there. I could only do 4 miles before my asthma took over. I hate…

GPS with HRM watch
Looking for recommendations for a GPS watch that also has a HRM. I currently use my smartphone along with a Polar FT4 but I worry that my phone would die with longer training. The battery can get pretty low when I use it for 1/2 marathons. I am currently using my phone for GPS and music player.

Frustrated, Starting going up
I was at a plateau for over a month. I was told that I wasn't eating enough. Which I know was true due to some days I had trouble reaching 1200 cal. Now I upped my calories to 1400 - 1600 and I started gaining weight back. I'm up 5 lbs in 3 weeks. Do I need to get more exercise in to offset this. Right now I circuit train…

I know I need to have more to keep the metabolism up and not be in…
