Ran the wrong day - now what?
So.....I've been in Week 4 since the beginning of April. I've completed successfully 5 times but never twice in a row. I tend to get to the last running interval and die off after two minutes or so. I set out today and accidently ran Week 5 Day 1. I had changed my route, hoping to shake loose of the plateau, and I thought…

Why high dietary fat %? Are we trying to kill each other?
There have been some posts recently which suggest setting fat as high as 70% of total calories. Why would someone eating at a deficit consume so much fat? The food volume is low, the overall diet lacks fiber and micronutrients due to the low carbs, and the protein is too low to protect muscle mass. And while I'm asking…

Stuck on W4D1 - it's all in my head
I just finished the third attempt at W4D1 - 3min and 5 min run segments, 2 each. I couldn't handle the last segment. My calves were tight but not really painful and I wasn't out of breath. I just seemed to run out of steam. It doesn't help that the last third of my run is up hill (no matter which way I go). How do I break…

First time on a treadmill
I'm going to be at a hotel four days a week until June, so two of my weekly runs will be on a treadmill in the hotel gym. Normally I run outside, and I haven't been on a treadmill in about 20 years. Any tips that will make the transition smoother? I assume I can program in the day's run/walk pattern. I have read that the…

I run slower than I walk -is this possible?
According to my C25K app I walk at 3.5 mph and run at 3.0 mph. I have been trying to go slow, as so many people have recommend ed but this seems wrong. I checked the math and it's not an error. I'm on W2D1. Is this possible? Should I step it up (no pun intended)?

Wooder Ice - calories and fat
It's spring, so for any Philly girl or guy it's water ice season. Rita's nutrition info is a broad range, 230-460 for a regular size. What really surprises me is that they list 0-70 calories from fat for the regular (not cream) ice. Does anyone know if the fat is only in the chocolate flavors? I'd reallly like to know if…

Put this in the wrong board. Head not in the game - good excuse?

Need more excuses jnot to work out
I'm trying like crazy to avoid my C25K trek today but the Reasonable Voice that lives in my head keeps refuting every excuse I come up with. Me: It's raining RV: It will let up in a bit. Besides, you're a good witch; you won't melt if you get wet. Me: My knee / foot / elbow hurts RV: Suck it up, Buttercup. Me: I don't have…

Need stretches/exercises for inner knee pain
I have had minor pain in the MCL region of my left knee for some time. It started in November after an ill-conceived long walk that included some major hills. The doctor suggested rest, ice, and Tylenol. It's not sore during or after my run/walk, but it does twinge when I shift into certain positions, such as when sitting…

Cheesecake Factory Nutrition Info
Does anyone have the complete nutrition info for Cheesecake Factory, specifically for the Skinnylicious menu? Several of the database listings only include calories, no macros. Googling is no better. The info would be available to people in NY, WA, or other states with disclosure requirements.
