What's your favorite treadmill workout?
This polar vortex is really putting a cramp in my running style. I live in Michigan where our winters are normally cold and snowy. Despite this, I have managed for the past two winters to keep running outside. This winter, however, it is just not possible (safe) so I am relegated to the treadmill. When I first started…

What's your running success story?
Two years ago this past Sunday I ran my first half marathon. I had been running for about 4 months. When I stood at the starting line I had two goals in mind. The first was to finish the race. The second was to run the whole time. I didn’t care how slow I was going; I was not going to walk. There were times along the way…

Starting on the 23rd
Anyone else starting on the 23rd? I've had the videos for a while but was waiting to start until after I completed a 1/2 marathon I had signed up to do on the 14th and wanted to give my legs a week to rest... I'm not doing the quick start program, just jumping in with workout 1 and the 90 day schedule. Also, I do not plan…
