Jumping in a little late. I started August at 249.8. Now I'm at 233.0. That's a total loss of 16.8 pounds.

Run Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Let one of those days (Sunday) be less intense and more about long-distance outdoor running. My reason for this is because you don't want to run the same day or the...

Look at it like this...you're gonna burn way over 1,000 calories during the course of the race. It shouldn't matter too much as long as you don't go overboard and eat a bag of sugar or something....

I have to make a correction to tip #2....

I think that the best shoes for these adventure races is either the Inov-8 Bareclaw or the Inov-8 Mudclaw (if you love your padding). I tried them on...

I just completed the Two Hundred Squat Challenge in the exhaustion test following Week 4 (did 205 before stopping). I'm still going to do Weeks 5 & 6 just for fun. I enjoyed this challenge because...

You'll just have to tough it out. Treadmills absorb shock, so your shins are mostly sore from the impact shock now that you're running outside. Take a day or two off so that your soreness goes away....

Hanging knee lifts & the hip abductor machine. You can use the hip abductor machine both upright and reclined to hit your hips from different angles. Also, if your gym has a multi-hip machine, you...

Thanks to my smart phone app, I've been keeping an exact log of everything I've eaten for the past several months. I have NEVER been within the USDA recommended daily sodium intake for...
