Half-Marathon training
So I've been running 3x a week for just about a year now. I've been able to get my 5k time down to around 25min this past week. I'm giving focus back on doing 2 short runs (1 with sprints) and 1 long run. Now with my long run, I would usually just go for a goal distance (around 6 miles last time) and set my run/walk…

Running frequency
So I've tried to search around the forum in regards to deconditioning and running. I've been running 3x a week for several months now and it's done wonders for me.

I won't have access to a…

Time to up the ante
Hello all! I figured that now I've managed to keep a more hardcore approach towards my developing a healthy lifestyle, I should go ahead and introduce myself to the community. I've been using MFP to watch calories (sort-of) for awhile, but only the last few months have I brought myself to methodically measure as accurate…

Cardio & Bodyweight plan so far
Hello all! New to the forums and so thought I'd just jump in and share what I've been doing so far. So I've been using MFP to track calories for awhile now, though I've actually buckled down and gotten hardcore about recording every single thing the last month or two and measuring it as accurately as possible. I first…
