Any Strava users who get "running in place" when syncing your runs with MFP?
When I record a run using Strava and synch it with MFP it shows up as "Running in place" where for other Strava users it shows their pace info. I'm not actually running in place though. I logged a help topic about it, but MFP says this is the first they have ever heard about this problem. I was curious if anyone else had…

I'm pretty confused about my proper "Easy Pace"
I'm trying to build my aerobic base and determine how slow my proper "easy pace" should be. I can figure this by HR or by recent run times, with help from calculators and info online. So, my aerobic HR zone is roughly in the 141-153bpm range. (43 yo/male, resting heart rate 50). My last few easy runs were as follows: 4…

I ran a half marathon in November with my new pair, so I broke them in ahead of time...they are definitely broken in by now. Saturday after doing a lot of shopping on…

Am I figuring my BMR and target calories right?
Please forgive the question some are probably tired of seeing. Hopefully one of you experts are in a mood to answer this for me. I've bookmarked a couple threads and links in my couple months here about this, and wondering if I have this right. To date, I have been doing fine with MFP at a target weight loss of 2 pounds…

Against my better judgement, greetings MFP'ers!
My name is Chris, I'm 42 from Kansas, working to get down to my ideal weight, and more importantly, get myself in good physical shape. I've been a member of MFP here since some time in June, and think the MFP program is a really great tool. It has helped me to get past a point where I stopped losing weight, and am right…
