Advice to Control Eating??
Hey Y'all! I'm having some trouble controlling my eating lately. I'm training to make my college XC team, so it's pretty essential for me to control my weight as well. I'd even like to lose a little if anything, as it's a sport where extra weight is not a good thing at all. But that isn't the primary goal. I'm trying to…

Maintaining Running Fitness While Injured?
Long story short, I either have a grade 2 calf strain (most likely), or worst case scenario (not very likely, but still possible) compartment syndrome. Trying to get a doctors appointment for the MRI prescription. I've been f*cking around the past month doing half assed workouts, trying to run through this, which has been…

Choosing a Bike?
Hi all! Since I've been semi injured from running, I've learned that I actually like cycling quite a bit. Right now, I am riding on the same bike I've had since I was 9. It's a mountain bike, but it's quite slow, and I'm looking for something faster (I went on a biking excursion where I rented a bike for a week, and the…

At Home Bodyweight Workout Routine?

Running in the mornings?
Anybody else feel like poop running early? It'd be so much easier for me to run before work, but i feel so crappy running right out of bed. I can't eat anything before, because of medical stuff, I can't eat anything until 1 hr after i've woken up. I've been considering bringing a gu with me to eat after a half hour into…

Runner Trying to Lose Weight
Hey all. Between numerous anxiety provoking situations, graduation parties, and late night half off app outings with friends, I have put on a solid 10 pounds, and I'm not happy about it. I'm not overweight by any means, but I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, and would like to get back to where I was a few months ago. I'm…

Running or Lifting to get a "Beach Body"
Hey everyone. Quick background: 18 years old, female, 5,4', and now 114-ish pounds. Gained from about 108 or so since October unintentionally, but my bench has also unintentionally gone up, so I can't complain too much I guess. I'm just about to finish up my High School track career as a distance runner. While running for…

Certain foods don't fill me up AT ALL??
I've been curious about this for a while, and today I was talking with my friends as they were eating bagels. One of my friends said that she always feels so full after eating a bagel, whereas I need to eat 3 (with cream cheese) to feel even remotely full, even though I don't need nearly that many calories for one meal.…

I'm a student, so I need something easy and portable to pull out of my bag and eat during class, without much smell or noise. I like having a light breakfast, and i'm usually hungry by 3rd period (lunch is 6th)…
