iFit Live
I just purchased a Nordic Track C1500 treadmill, scheduled for delivery next week. It has the ifit Live/google maps capability - but I didn't want to spend the extra $129 to get it activated. If you have had any experience with it, I'd love to hear about it! Is it worth it??

Running after bunion surgery
Just wondering if any runners out there have had foot surgery and if so, when they were able to get back to running. I'm having bone spurs, a bunion and arthritis scraped out of my right foot in mid-march. The surgeon says its a 10 week recovery. I'm really nervous about being out of commision for that long! I want to run…

Polar FT4 HRM ~ Target Zone?
I just purchased a Polar FT4 and have a question for fellow users. It says my "target zone" is 118-155. I'm regularly in the 160-180 range so I'm "Out of my Zone". Does that really matter? The subtle beeping reminding me that I'm out of my zone is kind of irritating. Is there a way to change that?

Pace and C25K
I had completed the C25K program this spring - running outside. My best 5K time this summer was 35 min. After not finding time to run for a few weeks this fall, I purchased a treadmill (which I love!) and restarted the C25K at week 5 running on the treadmill. I never had a great way to measure my run/walk paces outside,…

Flat Out Bread
I'm probably the last one to know about this - but just found Flat Out breads/wraps from Hungry Girl last night - and they are THE most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G thing EVER! I've only made pizza so far - but it was so YUMMY! I love flat bread pizza - and this was fabulous!

Sole F63 or Nordic Track??
I'm hoping to make a purchase of a treadmill in the next week or two. I've narrowed it down to the Sole F63 or a Nordic Track (maybe the C900?). But am open to other suggestions.

New Running Shoes ALREADY??
I bought new Asic Gel Nimbus 13's in March. I average about 12-16 miles per week on them - running/walking on pavement. Could it really be time for new ones already? After only 200-250 miles? My knees and feet are bothering me. I've been told by more a few friends that its time for new shoes. I've had 2 other pair of Gel…

Strategy to improve 5K time
Sorry, but I'm in need of advice that I'm sure I've heard before but need to hear again! I was feeling really good after finishing the C25K program....but I just can't seem to improve my time now. I'm stuck at a pathetic 36 min 5K time. UGH! I've made excuses - like its the heat/humidity, its too early or too late in the…

Tight psoas (hip) muscle
Has anyone else experienced a severly tight psoas muscle? I have been having issues with my hip area while running and went to the chiroprator for it on Friday. He diagnosed it as an incredibly tight psoas, adjusted my hips and had massage/stimulation therapy ordered. Now I have even worse pain in my butt and outer hip -…

Runners: does the first few min. of running get easier?
I've been working on the C25K program for a couple of months and am loving it. But, it just dawned on me as I was running today that the first 3 minutes are always the toughest for me. It's like clockwork - after the first 3 min. I stop the self talk that is saying "why am I doing this", "this is a pain in the butt", - and…

C25K- W5D3-20min run -ADVICE PLEASE!
I was so proud of completing W5D2 on Tuesday and was REALLY excited to complete the 20 min run (W5D3) today! BUT, I only made it to 10 min and had to walk 3 times throughout the last 10 min. Grrr...:grumble: Here is my question: Do I try to redo W5, redo W5D3 or move onto W6D1. I looked ahead and am confident I can manage…

Running and Heart Rate question
I'm new to running and have a question about my heart rate. Is there an optimum heart rate I should try to stay UNDER so that I improve my overall performance? I'm 38 and my heart rate gets up to 172-178 sometimes while running. My Polar FT4 says that I'm out of my zone above like 165. Should I slow down in an attempt to…
