    A question for the early birds

    I always have my coffee! And like Rapidbreath I eat half a banana and about 1T of peanut butter 30 mins before most of my workouts.

    Runners: when to Gu?

    I am sure this info varies a bit with us runners...I think it depends too on the temps you are running in for electrolytes. I have been marathon training in warm temps and on my long runs use Endurolytes, about 3 capsules every hour. I also use a sports drink called Perpetuem. I am not a fan of...

    Cortisone shot for piriformis syndrome?

    Hi Nan...I had a mild case of piriformis about a year ago. Running I am sure aggravates it and yes I run. What really helped me was a great massage therapist. Let me tell you when she worked on that area it hurt worse than anything I have ever had...but the pain diminished in about a week. As...

    Trail run - questions

    Hi Nan....I love trail running but it is a bit different than paved road runs. You will be slower than on pavement. It of course would be good if you could run a bit before on some kind of trail to see how it will feel. You can probably use your regular running shoes. This race says your...

    Tell me about Power Hour please

    I agree that Power Hour is tougher than any of Jari's workouts. You can see a clip if you go to the DVD section. Power Hour is a fun high energy, high rep, total body workout. What I really like is the exercises are choreographed tightly to music and that makes the workout fly by IMO...:)

I had my sister run with me for about 12 miles and then met up with my nephew and his beautiful daughter for the last 1.5 of the 16. Boy did they help me...I LOVE family!! I...

    Running in the heat - help!

    Hi Julie....I am 51 and have trained in the heat for a long time! It does seem to be harder as I age. What works for me I figured out in the last year for marathon training. Especially before long runs the day before I try and get in at least 100-120 ounces if water. During my long runs I use...
