Comment on Used treadmills by Simon

Hi,
I’ve just bought a Cara 5000 treadmill and I need an instruction manual for it. Is there anywhere that I can get hold of one? I’ve looked online but had no joy.

Cheers
Simon

The jersey is made by Primal Wear and is titled “The Ritz”. It comes long sleeve and short sleeve versions. I have also seen it with red cummerbund.

and blue cummerbund:

There is a wedding dress version titled bRide 2B. This one does not seem to be made anymore, but you might be able to find on as New Old Stock, or a used one on eBay.
Here is what it looks like:

Hi Rob, my fiance and I are running in the Paris marathon and want to race in wedding-running gear. Can you tell me where you purchased the tuxedo jersey?

WOW! It’s been a while since I wrote this!!! I just ran my 16th marathon yesterday in Niagara Falls, Canada.
If you want to take up running, I suggest checking out a training schedule called Couch To 5k. I have a bunch of friends who got started using that schedule.

Here it is:

Thank you Mark.

My goal is a 2k this winter, not sure if I will be able to make it but I will try. Nice that you are in shape. Will work something out to get there myself.

this is what I will do:

*) work hard
*) eat right
*) shave every night
*) drink something too.

This will help and keep me balanced.

Comment on Inner thigh pain by Lose Inner Thigh Fat

Lose Inner Thigh Fat — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 10:18:20 +0000

Try plea squats. They focus on your inner thighs. Try skipping – do at least 1000 skips everyday. This makes you lean. It is a cardio exercise when done at a good pace. Avoid running or jogging as they build your thigh muscles therefore adding bulk. Cardio walking is easier on your body than running or jogging and it is sustainable long term.

Comment on Safe Sound Personal Speakers-first impression by Amelia

After seeing this thread, I did check out “Tuck Way Tunes”, but the website does not appear to function. I went with the Safe Sound and couldn’t be happier. I ordered them on a Saturday and had them on Thursday morning. I didn’t notice any of the above issues. Thanks to the company for making a great product and for shipping quickly!

Comment on Loneliness Of The Long Distance Treadmill Runner by Fred from Treadmill Reviews

Fred from Treadmill Reviews — Tue, 24 May 2011 18:34:48 +0000

Hey Rob,

Here is a way for long distance treadmill runners to compete. NordicTrack has a feature called iFit Live. In addition to getting customized workout programs that download to your treadmill. You are able to compete with others while running on your treadmill. There are two ways. First, they have regular sponsored races. A route is mapped out on Google Maps and each runner competes against the other. You can watch your progress in comparison to others on a laptop that fits on the console. They have a couple of machines that an android browser in the console. I almost forgot, your treadmill will mimic the terrain of the route as you run. I’ve tried it and it is impressive. My name is linked to the page where I review NordicTrack and iFit live.

Comment on Running and high blood pressure by Alex B

Alex B — Thu, 19 May 2011 18:02:23 +0000

Former marathon runner on lisinipril and Lozarten. My age is 72 with a low heart rate of 56/58. BP is ok 118/ 64 approx Although I train in gym for an hour doing rowing, cycling and weight training i am breathless after a short time while running. Can’t understand why. I realise that there are side effects with medication

Comment on Running and high blood pressure by Alex B

Alex B — Wed, 18 May 2011 18:01:48 +0000

I am male aged 72 and extremely fit. with medication my Bp is 118/66 and varies from 120/62.

as a former marathon runner I am now unable to run short distances without stopping.
My medication is lisinpril and loszaten.

Despite this inability to run I can do low aerobic work for a considerable time including bag punching, rowing and cycling in gym as well as weights.

I am frustrated that i am unable to run even short distances at a decent pace.

My GP

feels that my blood pressure is under control but won’t take me off medication.

Is this a psycho;ogical thing or is it part of the aging process.

Any comments would be welcome

Comment on Running and high blood pressure by Kelsi

Well I alos have highblood pressure but i have ran out of my medication and have been off of it for several months now due to a medical insurance problem, i will not get to refill my medication until my insurance kicks in in a few months and i have been riding my bycicle almost every day for about a mile and a half and i walk two miles everyday. Now the problem is is that when riding my bike for not even three minutes my breathing gets really hard and i get tired very easily. My cardiologist had me run a stress test to see how long it took before my bp rose and the results were horrifying, barely two minutes after a slow jog at a slight incline my bp skyrocketed up to 210/100. They asked me if my chest hurt at all and i told them no and all that was the matter was that my breathing was very hard. They have done an EKG on me and found that my heart rate was normal, also they did an ultrasound on my heart and kidneys and everything was working perfectly, they checked my cholesterol it was fine, my blood sugar was outstanding, everything was perfectly fine they do not know what is causing it. Now after some research that i have done ive seen numerous times that high blood pressure can be cause by stress, and yes my life does have quite a bit of stress but i try to stay out of it as much as possible but i guess im not trying hard enough so if anyone has any clue to why my bp could be so high let me know and i will do anything to lower my blood pressure. the healthy way of course.

Comment on Sweat rash/heat rash on forehead from running by Chris

Chris — Sat, 14 May 2011 03:49:31 +0000

Some interesting points. I thought mine was shampoo related and it sill could be. I am trying a fragrance free product and seems to help.

Maybe try to workout without any hair products (gels etc) that may infect.

Also vitamins sometimes can cause these symptoms so come off any and see if helps.

Rubbing with a towel can definitely irritate so pat dry or rinse with cool water.

I like the Omega 3 fish oil point and will also try this.

Not sure it is pyschological so doubt “calming down” would help.

Good luck all.

Comment on Sweat rash/heat rash on forehead from running by Erol

Erol — Tue, 10 May 2011 15:22:10 +0000

I’ve been getting this rash on my head whenever I exercise or have strenuous activity in a warm humid environment. ODDLY, if I put a tight fitting hat on after I notice the rash, it goes away in an hour or two. The rash is red bumps on my forehead that stop at the hairline (large receding hairline).

Comment on Marathon – Richard Harteis by Michael Kearns

I was “introduced” to Mr. Harties and his lover through Diuane Ackerman’s One Hundred Names For Love. I am so thrilled to find his book(s) and those of Mr. Meredith. Rob has learned something I guess. Love to Mr. Harteis with all my heart.
