First 10K/Training Advice
Hi all, I signed up for my first 10k a couple months ago and now the date is looming. The race is at the end of October and I am not close to ready. My training has not been as successful as I would have liked. I ran 6k today with 3 1min walking breaks. So, has anyone else been in a similar situation and been able to…

Exercises With Sprained/Fractured Ankle
Hi all, I hurt my ankle a while back and it's still not healed. Doctor think it may be fractured :( Anyway, the last two weeks I've started getting back into exercising but I'm hesitant to do a lot of the things I used to do because of my bad ankle - running, yoga, free weights, HIIT, etc. Basically anything that twists or…

Shoes
How many types of shoes do you have for exercising? I have a pair of running shoes (that I run in) but I also wear them for general work outs at the gym. Should I get another pair for cross training? I'm worried that I'll destroy my running shoes by using them for a purpose they're not intended for.

Exercise Routine Tracking Apps
I love MFP and it's great for many things, but not saving my workout routines. I've been trying to find an app that can take the place of my printed out Excel sheets that I carry around when at the gym.

Running Questions
I started running last year and completed C25K, even running a 5K. I didn't do much from Oct-March then I started up C25K again in the end of March. Now I'm having an awful time of it though.

What to do next? - Strength Questions
So I started loosing weight a while ago and I began with TurboJam and a 1,200 calorie diet. After about 9 months I graduated from TurboJam to TurboFire (what can I say, I love Charlene!) and I stalled out at about a 30lbs loss. I gained a few pounds back over the last couple months but I have been starting exercising…

Athlete Inside
I have been working at exercising and monitoring my calories for 2 years now. It is hard, boring, and I don't get much in the way of results. Because of this I "fell of the bandwagon" so to speak the last month or so. My 5 days a week, 45 minute workouts have dwindled down to 2-3 times a week and guiltily eating whatever I…

About 5 years ago I tore my ACL and meniscus. I had one surgery to repair the meniscus then another a year later to fix the…

What Am I Doing Wrong?
Ok guys, I really need your help! Last year I lost 28lbs on LiveStrong.com and then winter came and I went to visit family for a month and gained about 3lbs back. However, since the fall I've been on this plateau I guess and I can barely loose any weight! I haven't been eating the healthiest foods because my partner has…
