Topic: RE: Gym or no Gym..that is the question

I decided i would (most likely) never join a Gym again. I like to sign up short term for fitness classes, or go to Zumba where you can pay by the class. I hate paying money if I don't go, and too much time. I also try to think long-term...is this something I can sustain or want to? The answer to the gym is no.

I have switched my routine up over my WLS journey. Swim, trampoline...Since last October I discovered Beach Body videos and fell in love with them. I do not sell them, DO not do their diets, or use shakeology....just to make it clear. Different routine everyday for a week, so I don't get bored. But the only way I will do it is if I roll out of bed and do it right away. I drink a pre-workout drink, add 16oz water to it. Do my 30 minutes and done. I have seen results. Even had 2 Plastic Surgeons tell me I had good Abs. Love the 21-day-fix. I do modify where I need to. Didn't like 21 day fix extreme. have also done 22-min hard Corp. And am considering buying Cize which is dancing....Summer is almost here so I will start swimming again.

You are running way to often even with me training for a ultra I am not running 5 days a week you need to  be only running 3 days a week. Lets say tue make it an hour run Thursday tempo run and long run on Saturday or Sunday. I have never trained by distance but my time. and only build up slowly on the long runs. Make sure you are doing strength training also and every so often you need recover time. If you need help message me and I will help you

I used Hal Higdons training. Due to some ITBS, I did a 15k one month before the half and didn't run a mile in between. I ran the whole thing around an 11:30 pace. 

Things I learned

  • no excuses for missing training except injuries that require rest - not even broken ear phones and/or no music.
  • try new routes to keep from getting bored (I love finding areas with lots of walkers/runners for motivation) 
  • run once in a while for fun and ignore the GPS/pace. Have fun with cross training too. 
  • figure out your own hydration/nutrition needs. There's no one size fit all. I picked a half with lots of course support because I HATE carrying all my water with me. 
  • Never buy/use new shoes for a half (yeah...learned the hard way). Invest in a good pair of socks. 
  • Make it about the process and not the end result. 
  • Never take running for granted - got to my lowest post op weight, ran my 1st half, and 3 months later my back went out and  now (2 back surgeries later) have never been able to run again. I still walk 1/2 marathons because I think it's a fun challenging distance.

Topic: HALF MARATHON TRAINING TIPS ??

Hello Everyone,

I have just signed up for my first Half Marathon in 20+ years in October  ( I will celebrate my one year surgery anniversary by jogging 13.1 miles)  I have been reading articles on the internet about the best way to train for a half marathon. Also I have read about half of Hal Higdons how to train for a half marathon.  I have been training for one week. I am a very slow jogger about 14 minute miles.  I am jogging 5 days a week and resting on Monday and Friday. Last week I jogged 3 miles on Tues, 4 miles on Weds, 5 miles on Thursday, 6.2 mile on Saturday and 6.0 miles on Sunday.  After trying to find the best training schedule I am confused about the best way to train. I would be interested to hear from all of you of the best training plan for a half marathon. - Thanks so much!
