I guess you're supposed to move your arms when you're running

Today is an exciting day. I am kicking off my Half Marathon training today and I’m actually pretty excited. I have slightly modified a Hal Higdon training (because his 10k training I used worked really well!) to be a couple weeks longer, so I start out a little bit slower. I pretty much took last [...]

The Return of Challenges: Variety is the spice of life!

An old tradition at the blog was to introduce a new type of challenge each month. The idea was to challenge each other, and ourselves into being more active, submitting more workouts, and achieve greater things. We've crisscrossed the country twice, had everyone over 100 AFP for many weeks in a row,  and had a [...]

Bike to Work: It’s what all the cool kids are doing

I am that person at Whole Foods

This post comes from 2 Fat Nerds contributor, Brooks.  As I fill my cart with flaxseeds and vegan mayonnaise, I realize I am that person.  My judgment of anyone who was not a strict omnivore, has come back to roost.  I have always been a lackadaisical regarding my food.  Until now, I’ve been an “Oh, [...]
