Marathoners: What's the longest distance you ran while training for your first marathon?
What worked for you? Even though I got a little behind in training (which is why I try to add extra time to any training schedule), I'm still on track at this point to work up to 26 miles before my first full marathon. However, this schedule allows for time to get comfy with a couple of landmark distances before increasing…

Flat Stomach...Maybe She's Born With It?
Everyone wants a flat stomach. Well, amost everyone. I'd like a flatter stomach, but sometimes I think it's all genetic. I really haven't tried to get one, and I don't obsess about not having one, but it sure looks and sounds nice. I've had a flat stomach a couple of times, but I was really underweight then and unhealthy.…

Have you done a 12 hour race?

I've never run a full marathon. 15 miles is the most I've done. Have you done a 12 hour race or lengthier hour-based race? How many marathons or ultras had you run before, if any?…

First full marathon. I am not trying to qualify for Boston, or even finish in close to 4 hours. Is this enough time? Like,…

36 year old runner, looking for running pals, or just pals.
I need more running buddies! I also like to hike, walk, and dig holes (I'm an archaeologist). I ran my first half marathon in September and am training for a full.

Mentrual cycle and athletic performance
I'm an avid runner, and this past week my mind has been boggled by why my times are so much slower, despite normal effort, with no apparent reason. I don't get bad cramps anymore (thankfully) so it didn't occur to me till today to even consider this! Anyway, yes, and duh, your cycle can affect your performance. Here's a…

New here, would love workout buddies
I'm looking for (virtual) workout/motivation friends. I'm an archaeologist and thus pretty active when working. I'm not as concerned with losing weight as getting better at cardio and running specifically. I am new at running but love it and would love more running buddies! Also like to encourage others with whatever goals…
