    Yet Another Knee Prob. Thread

    You have to do what you feel is best for you. I was told my option was knee brace 24/7 for the rest of my life, or surgery, so I picked surgery. 4 months post op I was able to run and do Imax3 and PlyoX. If your knee cap is sliding around I cannot imagine a cortisone shot helping. I am...

    Questions regarding Blue Ray

    Hardcore Series

    I bought the whole set at once to save money and have not regretted it at all. It is a little bit difficult to not do every DVD as soon as you get it, but I started with a Gym Styles rotation, then added in Low Max, Kick Max and Imax3. Then started working with Muscle Max and High Step. As...

    You can always run it as a fartlek. Before you start the fast portion, decide where you are running to, when the faster person gets there first, they slow down until you can catch up. I have also run set routes where the faster person will run an extra out a back a couple of times while the...

    Running workouts on the Calendar

    Learning how to run

    You will probably be more motivated if you plan on a more immediate event. Find a 5k that is 6-8 weeks from now and train for that. If you have to walk half of the distance, that is ok! No one at the race will look down their noses. That will give you a mental push to do your best in training...
