newbie, training to run half marathon, need support and buddy! west covina, CA

guest — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 20:24:28 GMT

I can't even run a mile right now let alone 13.1 but I will attempt to and plan to train hard. My team is meeting once a week but I know we have to train on our own, but would prefer to run or train with others as mush as possible. If anyone wants a run or train buddy in my area, email me or reply to this. I also am looking for advice and tips on how to get myself ready, I am very nervous about this and I think the more people I have supporting me and pushing me the better chance I have at completing this!

Fun Cross Training Program

guest — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 22:28:04 GMT

Hi everyone!

I want to invite everyone to my weekend teacher trainings & workshops in my Flex & Flow Method cross training program. It has benefited many extreme runners, cyclists and yoga people.

It focuses on opening the hips, strengthening the core and increased range of motion in upper & lower body rotations. It is unlike almost all trainings out there as it is low impact yet high cardio. We practice iso & plyometric moves, core stabalization & extension WHILE hula hooping! - this is not like the sillyness of what most hoop classes offer - tricks and what not. It is dynamic workout & easy for everyone.

My interest in sharing my classes, trainings, hoops & dvds with people on this board is that I am a runner. I set the world record for speed and distance hoop running the Bolder Boulder 10k. I break this time every year. training for hoop running brings out all set back any runner has. Tight hip flexors - overused erectors - weak core strength during sprints & poor spinal alignment which leads to injury.

Please email me or check out the schedule and info on my site.-Next training - Dec 3rd-5th in Aspen, CO

Sports bra with heart rate monitor

guest — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:22:10 GMT

I would like to start using a heart rate monitor this winter to help with training, but I can't stand wearing the chest strap under my bra. Does anyone know of a sports bra that incorporates a HRM belt?

Triathalon to 1/2 Marathon

guest — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 01:15:22 GMT

I am currently on a training plan to do my first triathlon in September. A month later, I have a half marathon. The longest I've ever run is six miles... How can I adjust my triathlon training so I'll also be ready for the 1/2 marathon? I assume if I just bump up my weekly long run a mile each week that would do it. I guess I just don't want to over-do my training.
