Just committed to a 178 mile relay race that takes over 24 hours to complete that happens in 2 weeks, had to fill in for a last minute drop out. I run a total of 12.7 miles in 3 separate legs. Just needed to share that with a total stranger in order to fully comprehend. Commence freak out.

When you finish you’re going to feel like a boss. You got dis

This might sound like a dumb question... but if I'm trying to slim down my thighs, how high should I set the resistance level when I workout on the elliptical? Thanks for being such an awesome inspiration!

If you’re trying to slim down, use low resistance - high resistance/inclines build muscle, which can have the opposite effect of what you want. Go for other low resistance cardio like distance running and flat cycling too.

Hi! awsome blog girl! One quick question, I´m eating clean since a long time now, and I was wondering, how do I know that the combinations I make are good and not bad? Cause I ain´t no nutricionist LOL. For example, chicken and noodles? bad? I eat noodles cause I run a lot and I´m preparing for a marathon (my first one!) and I wanna loose at least 5kilos before that! (the marathon it´s in august) love u girl!

Hey hey, I’m no nutritionist either. But as long as you’re choosing clean, healthy foods, most combinations you make will be fine. Some examples:

• Grilled chicken with whole wheat pasta (complex carbs - better than noodles for energy)
• Vegetables with fish or tofu
• Brown rice and beans
• Wheat bread with hummus or peanut butter
• Yogurt with fruit

What should I watch if I buy myself a muesli from a shop? I mean, there might be a big sign 'healthy', but this is usually still full of sugar. What should it contain and not to contain to be healthy ? :D Thanks !

Look for

• Simple ingredients - things like oats, fruits and nuts. Nothing a 5 year old can’t pronounce
• Low or no added sugar - ingredient lists often spread out sugar, so if you see honey, maple syrup, fructose, and corn syrup all listed, that’s 4 sources of sugar in one product
• The serving size and grams of sugar - keep it under 10 g per 1/2-2/3 cup serving
• Nutrients like fiber and protein
• My favorite brand is Alpen No Added Sugar - give it a try if you can find it

Is Crash-Dieting Bad?

Bad’s not the word, more like ineffective. Lose weight fast, gain it back fast.
