Have made it 7 (week)days so far (of summer vaycay) of running at least a mile per day. As soon as school hits, I plan to heavy lift.

Not familiar with the one you have but the Magic Bullet's motor isn't all that strong.

Most of it. Calories in, calories out is much too simplistic a concept. Too many variables that can throw things off kilter.

It's also the base goal for most diets and workouts to lose weight. Sure there are variables, but in general it works.

I just got a copy of UD 2.0 from a friend. I may give it a go in a few weeks. Heard of it?

Very familiar with Lyle McDonald. Let me know how this goes. It might be worth investing in.

Kind of a strange article, because it isn't defending endurance running at all. In fact, in it's own way it kind of is bashing endurance running, while bashing those that bash running.

If this article is to defend running, I never said all running is bad. In fact, if you're looking to defend distance running you're defeating your purpose. 800 meters, which is the max this guy is talking about, isn't what I'd call "distance' and it isn't going to eat away muscle. It's the "jogging" for distance (meaning multiple miles) when your cortisol starts to spike, etc. The author is basically repeating most of what I've been saying.

If you keep the distances short enough and are busting ass, you're going to get fat burning/muscle BUILDING (not wasting) benefits from it.

Started my second week of Ferrall's extreme body shaping 10 Wk Challenge. It is 6 days a week - 3 days Kickboxing and Cardio and 3 Days of band weight lifting. I am down 10 lbs from the first week and already seeing inches lost as well. Needed this from my back surgery in January and my inactivity since.

Also for those that want a good way to get your needed fruits and vegetables in your diet, you need to start taking Juice Plus. It is capsules of whole foods. My wife is a distributor and has had me and kids on it for awhile now. None of us has been sick since being on them and at my last check up my cholesterol was down 20 pts. without doing anything.

I don't think the article defends "jogging" at all. His opinion with his evidence supports short distance sprints. I don't disagree with him on that. I however need my endurance cardio and will jog maybe 3-5 miles or bike 20-40 miles once a week. I don't ever plan on running long distances and would rather lift for 45 minutes than run 10 miles.

As I've said before, do what you like. I'm not a fan of any kind of endurance running but it beats sitting on the couch.

Did you read the UD 2.0 pdf? I'm about halfway through. Not the best read, but not terrible. I'm assuming the discussion regarding actual diet and workouts is towards the end.

For a novice runner, what is a good mile pace? I've gotten down to a consistent 7:30 and below.

How far are you running? That's a 23 minute 5K.

Is that good or bad? Honestly, I never run more than 2 miles, mostly because I despise running.
