Hospitaliztion - tips for making freezer meals
Hi everyone, long story short: I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I'll be hospitalized for major surgery in a few weeks. To make life a bit easier after I get back home, I'm looking for foods which I can prepare beforehand and stick in the freezer. So either meals that can be microwaved, or put into the oven. I don't…

Virtual runners communities
Hey all! I'm back to running after a long hiatus, and started off with the c25k program once again. As I was online reading about running and getting started, I found out about virtual races and signed up for one :) The concept is perfect for me, helping me set goals to work towards! I've been looking around to find…

Questions regarding cal intake
Hi all! I lost a lot of weight before on a moderate deficit, plus some jogging. Unfortunately I became chronically ill two years ago and put it all back on. I'm gaining at a fast rate so I know I really have to put a stop to this. I'm sedentary most of the time, but on good days I go outside and walk. I used the…

Dislike flavour of whey protein, how to make it taste better
Hi all, I bought a couple of tubs of whey protein a while back. I like all the flavours (banana, chocolate and cappuccino) except for one; cookies and cream. It actually makes me a bit nauseous. I've left it on the shelf for a while because of that, but it'll expire in a month and the stuff is too expensive to toss. I've…

Looking for some (Zombies) running friends
Hey all! My name's Desirée, and I'm looking to add some running friends! I did a C25K program last year and ran a 4.6k, but didn't stick with it after the race. Then last August I joined a soccer team and I got back into running as well. I just got the Zombies Run app last week and it would be nice to have some friends on…

Football/soccer players :)
Hi all, After many years of thinking to myself how I miss playing football, I decided to sign up at my old club for this season. It's been almost 20 years since I wore my old team's jersey. Practice starts tomorrow! I'm pretty excited and scared at the same time. I actually got laughed at by a family member, telling me I'm…

Recycling/reusing protein tubs
Since I seriously need to increase my protein intake, I decided to order a couple of tubs online. They just came in and the tubs themselves they look pretty good, they are made of black, matte plastic and the sticker is removable. So I was wondering if anyone reuses these tubs? Do you store anything else in them, or reuse…

Nervous about starting strength training
Hi all, So I got the e-book New Rules of Lifting for Women and read it. Got a gym membership a month ago.. and still haven't started yet. I feel quite nervous and intimated about going. I know this sounds silly, but I'm really short (5'0"), I have a very soft voice and I know I'm not very assertive, so I feel like a…

Not sure what to do
Hey all, So I started C25K 2 months ago, running 2-3 times a week and just finished week 7. A month ago I signed up for a 5k, thinking I could do it as that's what I was training for. I didn't mind having to take walking breaks during the race if that would be necessary. I didn't expect to run the entire track. I have been…

Waterproofing shoes?
So far I haven't run in the rain, but it looks grey outside today so there might be a chance. Now I'm just wondering if I should waterproof my shoes with a spray? Has anyone else done this? I usually do it with my every day shoes, but I'm not sure if I should spray my running shoes, since they look so 'airy', not sure if…
