Hi everyone!! Looking for some advice... My achilles have been a bit tight/tender for a while now.... I am pretty sure it is due to my calves... Do you think I am not stretching them good enough? Or should I work on strengthing them? I would love some input!! Thanks!
Shari Mernett 7/4/12 10:13 pmStretching the calves at least a couple of times a day should help. Would also ice achilles area after every workout while gently stretching.
Barry Anderson 7/5/12 11:23 am Thanks Barry!! Hopefully I will have some improvement in a couple of days.
Shari Mernett 7/6/12 9:21 pm Hope so also. Have you changed running shoes lately? That can sometimes cause some minor soreness if there is a significant difference in the structure or if there was a lot of heel wear on the prevlous pair.
Barry Anderson 7/8/12 8:57 am Good point!! My shoes are getting on in the miles!!! I am due for a new pair!

Was more selections added to the Fit Log options? I don't recall the trail running for >1 hour being on there before...
Shari Mernett 6/16/12 9:58 pmWe did add some other options about a month or so back. Is there any other options we need?
Bob Anderson 6/17/12 7:57 am I can't think of any more options.... Looks like you have them all covered!!
Shari Mernett 6/17/12 7:06 pm reply to comment

What happened to all the photos posted in the BSC? There are now only 2 of mine, and also less of Chad's....
Shari Mernett 4/17/12 5:39 amMany of the images were too similar and not the quality that works for us. We hope others will upload their running and training images too. Right now you guys have six out of the top seven images...
Bob Anderson 4/17/12 10:30 am Good to know and I will keep that in mind for next time! Would be great if more people were to post pictures.
Shari Mernett 4/17/12 9:04 pm reply to comment

I would like to follow some sort of structured sub-2 hour half marathon plan for the Kauai half in September. I am thinking of purchasing the Runner's World plan.... I would love some thoughts and input!
Shari Mernett 4/15/12 10:31 amAre you thinking about a program from Hal Higdon?
Bob Anderson 4/16/12 4:59 pm Not sure if that is one of his plans... Here it is: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/1,7120,s6-238-244-258-13700-0,00.html It is $24.99
Shari Mernett 4/17/12 5:38 am I will check it out...
Bob Anderson 4/17/12 10:30 am Thanks Bob!
Shari Mernett 4/17/12 8:41 pm Thanks Bob!
Shari Mernett 4/17/12 8:41 pm Shari, there are plenty of plans on the web for free. I did a search for half marathon training programs and a number of them popped up. They are at all levels.
Richard Stiller 4/18/12 8:55 am Maybe I'll try a google search then!
Shari Mernett 4/18/12 6:25 pm http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51130/Half-Marathon-Training-Guide Here is an example from Hal's website.
Richard Stiller 4/19/12 4:50 pm Thanks!

Just wondering.... How come there wasn't a week 34 winner?
Shari Mernett 4/9/12 7:00 pmSomehow that week's winner was not picked...thanks for reminding us...the winner is Jan Haley-Soule...Congrats!
Bob Anderson 4/9/12 11:27 pm Way to go Jan Haley-Soule!! I counting the '7's and kept getting 10, then was wondering if I had missed something! lol.

Anyone here familiar with barefoot running and the Born to Run book? Well, so sad to here that the ultramarathon runner Micah True, missing for four days, was found dead on Saturday in New Mexico
