Running pace: how did you improve and how quickly?
Hi all, I've entered the world of triathlons! I'm a former competitive swimmer so my swimming is good and for some reason my cycling is good too. My running? Not so much.

Niagara Women's Half Marathon
Hi! Is anyone on here doing the Niagara Falls Womens' Half Marathon in a few weeks? Also, has anyone done it before and if so, what was it like? Are there pacers? I'm really nervous about it now! My training hasn't gone great so I'm not even sure if I can finish but I'm going to give it my best shot.

In the past when I was running fairly regularly but was still relatively new (<6 months), I…

Calorie increase freakout
Has anyone here ever freaked out about increasing their calories? I've been eating 1700 calories for a while and my weight is stuck at 138lb and has been for months and months now. I initially thought it was just a plateau but now I'm wondering if it's more serious and I put my body into starvation mode by mistake. I was…

P90X Challenge Group
Hi everyone! I'm a Beachbody coach and I was wondering if anyone on here is interested in joining my P90 or P90X challenge group? I was planning on starting the P90X programme again myself within the next two weeks and my sister will be joining me with P90 and we'll be using MFP to track our calories and nutrition. If…
