Maintainers!
Hi all! I'm finding maintenance to be quite challenging and would love to find some support from fellow maintainers. I think I'm starting to figure out the system that is going to work for me and finding some balance, but I know that this is going to be a lifelong journey and I'm going to need continual support and would…

Tell me about runner's knee
I think I gave myself runner's knee by not replacing my insoles soon enough. That was a few months ago and I just replaced them last week. I didn't know any better. It seems to be maybe improving, not sure yet. At first it was both knees, but more so in the left, then only the right and now only the left again. It doesn't…

Losing and Training
Hey all! I'm trying to shave off this extra 10 I've put on, but I'm also training for a half marathon. I'm doing a slightly more advance program because I'm gearing up to hopefully do a FM so my milage will peak in the mid 30 mpw. Last year I trained for a HM while losing the last 10 of my journey and it was really…

Bank or go over before Long Run
The day before my long run is a rest day, my only one. So my cals to lose are pretty low that day (1500ish, that's low to me).

I'm using this training as a precursor to what I hope to be my 1st full marathon so I'll be peaking at 15 miles and pushing my weekly well above my…

5 hour energy?
I usually need a bump in the afternoon on my gym days and often will have a cup of coffee. It really improves my performance durning strength and cross trainig, however I always need creamer and don't want the extra cals. So I was going to give 5-hour energy a try, but am worried about side effects and whatnot. I was also…

New and looking for friends!
So I've lost 130 lbs over 4 years, maintained it for about 6 months and then regained 10 lbs over the last 3 months. I'm trying to work my way back to maintenance before those 10 turn into 100! I'm a psuedo health nut, but enjoy my endulgences and am an exercise nut! I run, strength train and do yoga. I'm currently…
