I'm not quite sure what changed this time around--maybe all of the stuff I'd done over previous seasons finally kicked in LOL? I did have extra motivation this year. I lost a very dear friend to cancer in March and it strengthened my resolve to kick cancer's butt especially hard with Team In...

Hey fellow Catheletes! I just had to share my joy--last Sunday, I ran the Victoria Marathon and I knocked 31 minutes off my time!! My previous PR was 5:48 and I finished this marathon in 5:17:52... Woohoo! Next goal in sight is 4:29 if I can get it. I'm going to take 7 months off, then...

Congrats! That's an awesome time! Mine was waaaay longer on my first 10K (over 70 min if I remember correctly LOL). Great work!!

It happened to me too! In fact, I kept using the same shoes I was fitted for (for pronators) for years and ended up getting injured. When I got things checked out, I learned that my shoes were overcorrecting because now I was a neutral runner. I think your form just naturally evolves over...

Woohoo!! Now you'll be addicted like the rest of us :p.

Meredith: I had a similar experience recently. I'd been trying to lose the same 5 pounds for two years now, only to lose 2, gain 2, lose 2, gain 2, etc., etc. Then three weeks ago I got the stomach flu and couldn't keep anything down. I ended up losing all those 5 pounds and when I started...

Ok, is it geeky that I just squealed when I read this shout out? :) Thank YOU, Cathe!!

I have to admit that at the end of the day, I simply prefer the longer, steady-state cardio--in particular, running (all other forms of cardio, I'd gladly take the shorter version, ha! :p). Running is what I enjoy the most and boy, do I get endorphins after! So even though HIIT may be the better...

Not Cathe (and I'm super eager to see her response to this, since I have the same exact question), but from what I understand, the reason that HIIT type workouts have an upper hand on the more traditional steady state workouts is that HIIT workouts are supposed to raise your metabolism for an...

Woohoo, thank you!! Ordering right now :)

Yay, it worked for me too! Thanks, everyone!

I'm experiencing the same thing and was about to ask the same question... Do I have to purchase a nutrition package to get my TDEE calculated? Thanks in advance!

I'm back to doing WW after three years of being away from it, in which I struggled to lose the 8-10 pounds I gained from marathon training. I tried counting calories rather than points, eating clean, eating intuitively, etc., etc., but at the end of the day, the only thing that has ever worked...

Yeesh, all my problem areas!! And it's no coincidence that I get injured in those areas, because those are the ones I'm too lazy to work and I always try to get by with the very minimum (squats, lunges, leg presses). My lower body tends to respond fairly quick to training and even when I don't...

My two cents come from experience... I used to follow the "no need to do isolation work" philosophy for my lower body--mainly out of laziness--and when I injured my hip flexor, I was told by my physical therapist that the reason for my injury was because my glutes were too weak and my hip flexor...

Jen: I'm having the same issues as well. My arms tend to get that pudgy/bulky look and I wasn't sure whether that meant I needed to increase the poundage even more and go REALLY heavy or pull back the poundage and increase the reps. I've cleaned up my eating and am losing weight, so I've got...

Thank you so much, everyone!! I'm still kind of in shock that I was able to do it LOL! Hopefully it wasn't a fluke :p.

Just had to share with my fellow Catheletes... I ran my first half marathon all the way through--no walk breaks!! In the five years I've been running, I've been using the walk/run method, with my personal best time coming in at 2:30. I smashed that today, coming in at 2:18:25, woohoo!! And...

I have both, but my main computer is still (and probably will always be) my Mac. The only reason I got a PC as a second computer is because there is some software I'd like to run and it's only for PC's (boo, what's up with that?? These days, most software should be able to run on both!). But...

Weighing in late on this, but count me in as another one who loved this movie!! My heart broke in the ending, too, but then, I'm a sap :). But boy, that baby doll was CREE-PY.
