In need of non-dairy, no-soy, no-cook, quiet breakfast ideas
I know this is really narrowing the window on what's available to eat, but I get up at 4am for work and don't want to wake up the rest of the house microwaving something (our microwave makes SO MUCH NOISE), blending something, or cooking something. In the past this has meant cereal with non-fat milk, but milk and I aren't…

Healthy LCHF snacks?
Hello to all and thanks for the add! I looked through the launch pad and I didn't really find what I was looking for, so my apologies in advance as I'm sure to be the 100th person in a month to ask. I just started LCHF in an effort to be fat-adapted for an upcoming ultra marathon. I want to ensure a diversity in my diet…

Ultramarathon Fuel for the Back of the Pack?
Tomorrow I'm volunteering for an ultra marathon and my assignment is to leap frog the back of the pack runners to make sure everyone is doing OK, doesn't get lost, etc. I'd like to have a variety of snacks in my car just in case (and to be helpful), any recommendations for late in the race fuel?

No Gym Resistance Training Suggestions?
I'm considering ditching my gym membership because I never seem to get to class on time. Looking for some alternatives that I can do at home, within a limited amount of space and not a bunch of handweights or kettleballs etc (limited storage space). Resistance bands? Boxes for plyos? I need some suggestions. Thanks!

Is a mixed training strategy counter productive?
So I've been training for a non-existent 10k using one of the Garmin HR based training plans and while I've lost almost 10 pounds in the last two months the running portion is driving me batty as I have to run SO SLOW. Hoping to drop another couple of pounds before my 16 week marathon training starts next month, but I'm…

Last 10 pounds group?
I'm looking for a group that is focusing on that final (and frustrating!!) 10 pounds or so. Does anyone know if there is an active group along those lines? Everyone is so creative with group names I'm finding it hard to use the search function.

Standing desk vs Treadmill desk
If you could have either which would you choose? Keep in mind treadmill desks should be run about 1.5-2mph, which is super slow. Makes me wonder if I'd be moving just as much standing as I would walking that slow. But the runner in me is in love with the idea of the treadmill desk.

2014 mileage roundup, 2015 goals
Pardon me if someone already started this thread (mobile app still shakey for forums), but I'm curious to hear what everyone's mileage ended up looking like at years end and what your mileage goal might look like for 2015. Although I've been running for five or six years I've never kept track of my mileage until now. I had…

Women's jeans
Wasn't sure where to post this. I'm trying (in vain?) to find women's jeans that fit. I run and I lift so my quads are large but I have a 29 inch waist. What fits in the waist won't fit in the legs and vice versa. Suggestions? And I'm irked with Barbell Apparel so we won't even go there.

Turning 40 in 2015
I'll be 40 in December of 2015 and my birthday present to myself is to run a 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Full Marathon with the goal of placing in my division for each (for smaller races) or in the top 10% (for bigger races) or at the very least (for the love of...) hitting a PR. So I'm looking for race suggestions. I've…

Hungry in the long run?
Wasn't sure what to call this topic... Basically my question is this: How much effort do you make to reach your calorie goal for the day (whether you are aiming for consistent intake or net) and have you noticed a drop in performance as a result of not reaching that goal? My TDEE for my goal weight is 2100, I've been…
