With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I'm sorry for cross-posting this, but a professional member suggested that I try posting to a different area...

I'm a new member and have a few questions about diet, exercise, etc. I'm a 23 year-old female- 5'6", 135lbs (trying to tone up and hopefully drop 5-10). I've also started training for a marathon (my second-- looking to finish in under 4:30-- so I'm not a really fast runner) in October. Is it a bad idea to start on one of your programs while also training for a race? If not, can anyone recommend a good weight-training/diet program? I've got the running part down, but I would like to be more lean so that I can run faster and more efficiently.
