Getting your Polar battery changed
Anyone ever just do it themselves even though it says to send it in? I don't want to be without it for 7 business days!

Favorite bread?
My 4 year old was officially diagnosed with a gluten allergy yesterday. We've experimented with GF in the past for 6ish months, but threw in the towel. Now we are starting all over again in a few weeks (we have to begin a series of vitamins and minerals first), but her favorite food is wheat toast. I've never found a…

Did you follow the Insanity nutrition plan?
I just started Insanity this week. I haven't been following the nutrition plan, just eating as I normally do. Do you see bigger results if you follow it? I'm just wondering if I should change things up a bit. My biggest problem is that I am one of the pickiest eaters ever and I have trouble finding stuff I like off of a…

having a hard time refueling
I tend to have a few high calorie burn days a week (today was 1177) and the days I have them, I have trouble eating more than 1400-1500 calories without feeling queasy. However the next day I'm famished. Does this happen to anyone else? I figure as long as I'm rehydrating and my end of the week numbers average out, I…

Anyone doing NROLFW also a runner?
I run 3-4 days a week now, and just bought a bike for the off days. I am interested in starting to lift and I was wondering if it would interfere at all?

easy way to increase calories?
I'm having a hard time reaching an acceptable amount of net calories. I am a runner and usually have pretty high calorie burns. What kind of quick things can I add to increase them? My only problem is that I am a bit of a picky eater. Do you add protein drinks? or protein bars? I have 2 little kids and am often eating on…

Half Marathon runners....
What was your finish time on your first half? I'm running my first in about 4-5 weeks and I was wondering if I'm headed in the right direction. I ran a 9 mile today in 1:51. I'm also coming off of a back injury that was about 3.5 months ago from a car accident.

Diet changes during training
Do any of you change the way you eat while training for a big race? I've been reading a lot about how you should eat and I just want some real opinions on it. I'm training for a half, but I'm struggling with my weight again. I've gained 6-8lbs since a car accident where I hurt my back in December. I'm just now getting back…

Water bottles
Do any of you use handheld bottles on your runs? My runs that are less than an hour I feel fine, but the longer runs and interval training sessions I get thirsty. I went to ****'s to get one, but it was kinda pricey. (Pricey to me, as I rarely spend money on myself) Any brands you like better than others? Or other…

I start an "official" training program tomorrow!
I'm a little nervous, as it starts out with me running 6 days this week. I usually only do 3 and spin a few. Hoping I learn to enjoy running in the snow, as I'm sure it will be starting soon too. Eeeek, I'm so excited! I never thought I'd be a runner, but I can't explain to non-runners why I enjoy it without people…

question about logging calories with your HRM
When you use your heart rate monitor, when do you hit the end exercise button. Do you do it when you are immediately done, or after you cool down and finish stretching? I normally do it when my heart rate hits a normal level and I'm done stretching, but sometimes this adds 10-15mins to my time. Just curious what others…

Half Marathon question
I'm training to run my first half next year, but I have a question for those who've done it. Did you walk at all? And for how much of it? I'm just curious as to what I'm aiming for.

I should know, but I need calorie advice
I have lost a bunch of weight already and I should know the answer to this, but I'm not sure what I should do. The weight isn't coming off anymore and I'm not sure how many calories I should be eating in a day. I run 3-4 days a week, spin 2 days a week and do some kettlebell and ab workouts too. Average weekly calorie burn…
