    I’m think it’s because I’m 270lbs😅 Used to be 340 though so I’m getting better and faster every day…

    I'm getting back into running and your videos helped me remember the important aspects of running. Not so much of trying to run fast but including the fuel and running slow. At 70, I feel I still have it and it is encouraging that there is still hope for me. I 'm typically running 6 days at an easier pace to build strength. As I progress I will include my speed work. I get at least 8-9 hours of sleep and I am eating clean both prior, and after my runs. Thanks for the information and glad I found your channel.

    Menopause, night sweats....not conducive to someone who already struggles with staying asleep. No matter how soon I cutoff caffiene or stop drinking fluids. After a certain point I'm awake, my mind is racing with random thoughts and it takes an hour or more to get back to sleep! Just to sleep more than 3 hours in a row would be heaven!

    Excellent advice. I am terrible with late sleeping & late eating despite knowing how much better I felt before doing the opposite. This has reignited my drive:-).
