Comments on: Running 2+ Miles on Treadmill Every Night http://www.344pounds.com/2009/10/running-2-miles-every-night/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

We have done so many medical tests on me/husband and nothing is wrong. It was suggested that I should loose some weight. I am running 2.55 miles a 7 days week now with no results on tradmill. I started this 2 months ago. I stepped on the scale at 219 pounds, and today my weight said 215. I drink 8 glasses a day, take prenatal vitamins, I stopped all the fast food, desserts, I do not know what else to do. 4 pounds in 2 months and I have completely changed my life style. What else can I do? My husband and I have been trying to have another baby for three years. We have done so many medical tests on me/husband and nothing is wrong.

My goal is to lose 70lbs in 2010. I go to the gym religiously. My strength and stamina have really increased but with little weight loss ( so far only 25 lbs in 9months). I run continuously for 1.5miles at btwn 5.4 - 6 spd at 0.5 incline. I am hoping to get to the 3+ mile by this time next year. Thanks and keep us all motivated!!! Your story is really inspiring.

It's very inspiring. I like your idea to break the 2:30/2:30 ratio idea. I'm going to give it a try. I always tried to do a treadmill session all at one pace after a small warm up. I think I could make it farther doing it this way. I just found your blog. It’s very inspiring. I like your idea to break the 2:30/2:30 ratio idea. I’m going to give it a try.

I just started running in January and finished my first marathon about two weeks ago. I second the Jeff Galloway approach. When (not if : ) I) I do it again, I will do intervals running for four minutes and walking one - as it was I got so swept up in the race I ended up running 10 miles and thinking to myself, "10 miles already??" I didn't start running my intervals until mile 13 or so and it caught up with me at the end. Yes, you can keep up a slower pace for a longer period of time - but you can keep up a faster pace with the brief recovery time. At least that's the way I seem to roll. Oh, and track your miles on your shoes. You'll want to replace them after 400 miles or so (some people seem to go through them faster) to prevent injury. I saw you're looking for ways to track mileage - I like Nike+ but I find it occasionally "loses" miles and will sometimes inexplicably pause during a run. Very frustrating. I would use a separate online journal like mapmyrun or DailyMile.com. All to say you are doing AWESOME! Great work!! Tyler, you’re doing so great.
