Trying to avoid sugar...
I'm trying to avoid eating too much sugar - really trying to stick to the number that MFP gives me. Today I ran 10 miles and i'm finding it hard to get enough carbs but also limiting my sugar. I made Quinoa with cinnamon and peanut butter today which was AWESOME, but now I'm out of quinoa. Next week I work out at a camp…

Training and Frustrated: Question for Distance Runners
For nearly a month I've been stuck at the same weight, but the only thing I'm doing differently is running more. I'm training for a half marathon, so I'm running around 20 miles a week right now - that mileage is going to increase, too. I don't know if I'm storing water, eating too few calories (although on long run days…

Finding it hard to keep up` a strength routine
I'm training to run a half marathon, and I am having a hard time keeping a regular strength routine. I run 3 times during the week at a moderate distance, and once during the weekend for my long run (today was an 8 miler). My running feels a lot more natural when I add strength training, but I just can't seem to kick my…

Any runners?
I'm a runner that's looking for some runner friends. I've always been kind of confused about nutrition when training for a half marathon (and I'm hoping to do my 1st 26.2 in 2014!). Feel free to add me also. :)

Help with a crazy sweet tooth
So... my downfall is sugar, and above that is chocolate. I've been down with an injury for a month now, and that month included Easter of all things. I started gaining weight because I couldn't run and I was eating so much chocolate. I still have some leftover but I haven't touched it since I started tracking myself on…

Strength Training for Running
Hi all! I've done a couple different types of strength training - high weight with low reps, and the reverse. I think with running I want to use low weight with more reps, but I was wondering if there's anything I can do to strengthen my hips really well for running. My insanely weak hips have led to an IT band injury, and…

Runner with an injury
Hi all! I'm new to these forums. I've been using the mobile app for a little bit and love how it shows me the ratio of carbs to fat to protein for each day. However, I'm just trying to worry about calories right now. I've been a runner for a couple years now and am down with a strained IT Band. :sad: After not being able…
