I ran in HS and college and when I got back into running I used runnersworld a lot and watched my diet for the longest time.
At this point it's all habit and I really don't think about what I'm doing much. It's just a way of life.

If they are to be believed, I'm at an "Acceptable" percentage at 20%.
According to WebMD, here are the ranges (men only):
Essential fat 2-4%
Athletes 6-13%
Fitness 14-17%
Acceptable 18-25%
Obese 26% plus

you mean like interval training
that shit absolutely sucks(our coach used to make us do ladders starting at 1600 meters and work on down..)
but it gets you results
if you're training for the 5k..ya you need to do some serious long range stuff imo...mix in some 6-9 mile runs...build up endurance
mix in some interval training and then do some 5k timing periodically
just my advice

Like I said I appreciate all criticisms and advice! I will most definitely try and run longer tomorrow, the race is on Saturday so I will let you all know how it goes!

...if the race is Saturday you should be tapering down. Not increasing mileage. You should be running a light two miles tonight. Maybe a mile on Friday. Maybe take Friday night off.

Me to but I'm 6 foot 1
in my health class this year we all checked our BF% and some kid got 4% :lmao:
Tell us how it goes!
FT- why dont you like Nke's? I prefer Asics as well, but I just got a pair of Nike Flex Runs, just for wearing around and doing everyday activities, and they're pretty comfy IMO :shrug:

Was he dead?
I used to love Nike. Their Max Air series and Bowerman series were amazing. Most of their shoes now run way to heavy in the heell for my tastes and the Flex/Free line doesn't offer much support for a distance training shoe. Might be nice shoes for Cross Fitter(lol at them anyways) but they've fallen behind in the running shoe market IMO, especially distance shoes.

Whoever was taking it sucked at taking it. Professional body builders walk on stage completely depleted and shredded at 5-6%. I've been legit 8%, but prefer 10-12% as that's where I'm strongest.

The kid was a shrimp and like 5 foot 2, the thing could've been inaccurate idk, not sure what we used but it didnt seem all that impressive, just some home test kit most likely, :lol: I found it very funny though
