Call me crazy but shouldn't you (the generic you, I'm not directing this at any one person) go and get your blood tested to see if all of your blood levels are appropriate? If they aren't, your doctor can recommend a way to get them more in line. I suspect a doctor would be better able to tell you w...

Hello everyone!! I have signed up for a 5K in October and I'm not sure where to start. I am doing the C25K program and I do weight train but should I be doing anything different? I try to eat healthy, I eat fruits and veggies quite often but I don't eat a lot of meat. For some reason I don't feel w...

I did the Sonofagun Trail Run/Race this morning. The concept is you run a 4.5K trail loop and a new race starts every hour on the hour. Your time doesn't matter as long as you finish within the hour and want to run anothr loop. The loop is quite hilly and mainly single track. It was quite easy to do...

I think the Running Room posted running routes for most Canadian cities. You might try there if you don't get any first hand recommendations here.

Great job! Very impressive run.

Has anyone had a lactate test done? A buddy of mine had one done a couple of weeks ago. The test suggested most of his training should be done at an extremely high heart rate. His coach looked at it and thought the level of HR was crazy. Just wondering what anyone else thinks about the test.

Here's a video on the Barkley. http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/ ... the-world/

What's going on with this? No posts since last year? Does Doonst still have the trophy?

Great job!

They should have a run where you eat a couple of pounds of gummy bears. Now that would be fun!

For all the people who would be wondering where drghfx is on a bra thread, I just wanted to post this early to save you the trouble of typing. Let the discussion continue, JUNO, in good taste.

A new study says that if you think you are doing poorly you will start to do better.

Every little bit of info can lead to another bit of info and so on and so on.It could help in tracking you down, or potentially your children, and help with identity theft.

I did a search and didn't see this discussed before so excuse me if it has been. Earlier this month Garmin announced they would be selling a GPS watch that also has some Activity Tracking functionality. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2457461,00.asp?mailingID=76182DA1E028C815354DB24CD336F131" o...

One of the local ultra runners who organizes a number of races in NS ran the Barkley this year and did really well. I think only one person finished it this year but Jodi managed to finish the "Fun Run" which is quite an accomplishment. His report is a long read but probably useful for any...

Back to the original topic. I think this article discusses what Mr. Bond was trying to say.

I think we need a wine cellar for the Mod Retreat. Since I suggested it, please send your bottles of wine to me and I'll get them orgaized by type, brand and vintage. No need to thank me.
