Not enough potassium?
I analyse most of the nutritional information throughout the week to help get a better idea of what is helping or hurting my weight loss. A couple of things I have noticed is that I get too much sugar and not enough potassium on a regular basis. I know that I am eating foods rich in potassium, i.e. bananas, apples,…

Week 5 day 2
Yesterday was week 5 day 2 for me. I was worried at first about the 8 minutes, but when it came time to walk, I was able to keep going.

I start to walk on an off day, and just spontaneously want to run instead. My New Year's resolution for 2013 was to…

How many times do you run per "week?"
The Apps that I have seen for couch to 5k (and other 5k training programs) have had 3 days of running per week. But if you do it that way, you have at least 2 days where you don't run at all. This seems counterproductive to me. Right now I am doing strength training on my "off" days, but I ran 2 days in a row this week, so…
