Switched Running Schedules and Feeling Lethargic - HELP!
Hey guys! Sorry, this is going to get really long... Brief background - I began running a little over a year and a half ago. I finished the C25K program (which I LOVED) and then went on to work on distance and speed. I completed my first half marathon in March (WOO!) with a time of about 2:01. My fastest 5K time was 24:15,…

First half marathon = CHECK!!
I FINISHED MY FIRST HALF MARATHON TODAY!!!!! I finished in 2:02... SO EXCITED!! I got a terrible stitch around 8 and so had to walk 5 minutes... kind of upset because I know I could have easily gotten under 2 hours, otherwise. But now I have something to aim for, right??

3 NSV's in 1 week!! Is the world ending??
Hey all!! So I know that these NSV's are not that big of a deal compared to most of the stories I read on here... and probably nobody cares, but I'm so excited that I had to post something!!!

HRM help pretty please!!
Hey all! Sorry if this kind of question has been asked a zillion times already... I'd really appreciate any advice, though! I just got a Polar FT4 HRM, and I absolutely love it! I used it yesterday in my jazzercise class (don't judge!) and it seemed to estimate me burning about as many calories as I usually estimate…

Strength training - weight plateau?
Hey all! After reading many, many posts on the advantages of strength training for girls, I bought and read the New Rules of Lifting for Women. I'm almost through stage one, so I've been doing it for a little over a month. I like the program, I feel stronger and empowered, and I've noticed SLIGHT changes in measurements.…

5k on Satuday!!
Hey there! I'm signed up to do a 5k on Saturday, and I'm wondering if you guys have any advice about... well, anything at all, really! I've been involved in plenty of 5ks before, but this would be the first one I would run completely. I recently finished the c25k program and LOVED it, so I'm pretty confident that I can run…

Yet another 1200 calorie question!!
Hey guys! So. Over and over again, I've read the conversations about eating below 1200 calories and seeing adverse side effects. I'm really worried about getting the proper amount of nutrition daily. I recently upped my calories slightly, but before that, I was eating at 1200 (always eating back exercise calories!) and…

Calorie Limit Question!
Hey there! I just have a quick question. I've read (and been told) over and over that it's not good for you to eat too FEW calories, going under 1200 calories a day. I try to make sure that I eat about 1200 calories a day, but is it really that bad for you to occasionally go under? Today, for example, I ate breakfast,…
