Training for a half marathon on calorie deficit
Has anyone been training for a half marathon while maintaining a calorie deficit and managed to lose weight? Do you feel like you have energy for your longer runs?

Proper running form?
So I am looking more into changing my running form. I am definitely a heel striker. On my last short run (4 miles) I tried to strike more on my mid foot. I started experiencing some pain in my knees so about a mile or 1.5 miles into my run I stopped. Now, 2 days later I have some muscle pain in my calves and the outside of…

After ChaLEAN Extreme
I will be finishing up ChaLEAN Extreme tomorrow. I plan on taking a week off of weight training to concentrate on my running but I'm trying to decide what to do next. I'm thinking P90X, but I don't know if I can hang with the longer workouts. I'm also considering the New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women. Can all of those…

Team Beachbody Meal Plan
Anyone use the Team Beachbody Meal Plan? I would love to have someone plan all my meals and make me a shopping list. Is it worth the monthly subscription fee?

Need some sage runner's advice
So, I've been having intestinal troubles on my long runs. I barely made it to the bathroom the first time and the second time I had to stop at the port-a-potty twice. Well, I moved and now my runs no longer have a port-a-potty. It's either running along a highway with no sidewalk (but ample businesses that may let me use…

Runner's Trots
So I know there have been lots of topics posted about this, I did a quick search. I just like to talk about poop. So, I'm training for a half marathon and on my last two runs I've gotten the worst urge to go about 6.5-7 miles in. Barely made it home last time and had to stop at the park's porta-potties this time, twice…

ChaLEAN Extreme Nutrition
I am going to start ChaLEAN Extreme in the next couple of weeks. Has anyone done her meal plans with it? The calories seemed a little low. She recommended 1300-1400 calories per day for my weight (151). I'm going to be doing the three days of strength training and training for a half marathon 3-4 days per week as well…

Chalean Extreme Deluxe package
So, I'm about to order Chalean Exteme, and it's asking me if I want to pay $90 extra to get the deluxe package. Has anyone used this? Do I need it? I don't really want to do the cardio for this, I'm going to be training for a half marathon. I'm just doing it for the strength training. What do you think?

Finished Riped in 30
So I've been using JM videos for awhile now, but I have yet to actually complete the program. I've just been doing them about 4 days a week, skipping around the levels so I wouldn't get bored. Well, I finally decided that I wanted to do the whole program, and I did! I lost about 6 pounds. Unfortunately that was all weight…

Benefit from another round of Ripped in 30
Has anyone done a second round of ripped in 30? I'm finishing up week four this week and I'm not sure what to do next. Before going through the whole program I was doing that or 30DS and sometimes NMTZ about 4 days per week, just alternating through the levels so I didn't get bored. So I'm getting a little bored of JM…

Running in the heat?
So, I live in Savannah and this is my first summer of running outside. It is now hot as heck and I was wondering, how hot does it have to be that you shouldn't go running? I hate the treadmill and no matter how much I love running I can't get out of bed early to go. The only thing that matters to me when I first wake up is…

Anyone run in Newtons?
I just found their website and their shoes look interesting. There's no retailer near me to get them though, so I would be ordering them off of the internet. Anyone have any experience with them?

Low fat vs. Low carb
I just wanted to pass along an interesting article I read. It is similar to Fat Head but written by a doctor. It's pretty long, but a good read. I have to admit that I've always looked down on the low carb diets, but as I'm finding more out about the poor amount of research behind low fat diets I've become more open to…

Chalean Extreme or P90X
So I have been on a long plateau partly due to food intake and partly due to stagnation in my exercise routine. I am a runner and am really not willing to give that up right now for different cardio, but I am interested in adding resistance training to the mix. I was thinking of doing P90X lean but instead of doing the…

Race Day
I'm running my first 10k this weekend. What does everyone eat the morning before? It's early in the morning so I don't have time to eat a full breakfast and let it digest. I was thinking a power bar and a piece of fruit.

XBOX Kinect
Does anyone have the Kinect? I have been doing The Biggest Looser Game. I guess it's OK, but I'm not loving the work outs. I'm really looking for a good toning work out, as I run for my cardio. Does anyone have experience with any of the other games for the Kinect? I was thinking about getting Your Shape Fitness Evolved,…

High Intensity Interval Training
Anyone have experience with running HIIT exercises? I'm interested in adding it to my current regimen a couple of days per week. Right now I'm running about 4 miles per day 5 days per week at a 10 min mile pace. I would like to increase my speed and have heard good things about HIIT. How long do you do it, how long are…

Eating 5-6 times per day
Anyone else trying to eat 5-6 small meals a day? I'm getting really bored of what I'm eating and need some suggestions. Snacks usually under 200 and meals at about 300. Breakfast is egg whites with oatmeal. Snacks usually a carb with a protein like a piece of fruit with yogurt or a cheese stick. Lunch is usually a whole…

Side cramps while running
Recently I switched from the treadmill to running outside (just got so bored of the treadmill). I have started to get frequent side cramps that can be bad enough that I stop running to walk. If I try to start running again the cramps come back. What is going on and is there anything I can do to prevent/treat these?
