funny you would put okios at the bottom. I really don’t preference much but should put some thought into it. I really like siggis

I don’t eat yogurt anymore (I’ve transitioned to a vegan, soy-free diet), but when I did, Chobani was my favorite, specifically the pineapple flavor. It was like dessert for breakfast. Yummy. That was really the only Greek yogurt I liked. I also liked Stonyfield regular yogurts (either low-fat or fat free), especially strawberry or chocolate.

I’ve thought about trying out some coconut yogurt (I drink a lot of coconut milk), but it’s pretty expensive. I’m with you on the expensive thing. If it’s too much money, it won’t be a regular indulgence.

I’m a Chobani girl all the way! Pineapple Chobani is my all time favorite ever. Have you tried their new flavors yet??

My greek yogurt preferences are the same! I love chobani the most, but sometimes I’ll get TJ’s just because it’s cheaper. I only buy oikos on sale or if I have a coupon. Siggi’s is DELICIOUS, but $2.50 for 1 serving of yogurt? No thank you!

I love Chobani but it doesn’t love me! The first time I tried it out, I ate one a day and came down with a mysterious, constant stomach cramp. I figured out that the Chobani was the only “unfamiliar” thing I had been eating, and when I stopped eating it, I was cured. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I stick to Fage because I don’t have a weird reaction to it. Oikos is pretty good, too, but Fage is more readily available at my supermarket (and is usually on sale!).

Siggi’s is the bomb! I agree though that it’s pricey, so I’ll get Fage or Voskos. No real training going on for me, hope you get your groove back!

I love Fage 2% Greek yogurt best by a long shot!
My training plan just started for the Illinois Half Marathon – I ran it last year, but this year I’m dealing with a hip issue. Going to take it step by step (literally) and decrease my mileage as well.

Oh Sorry to hear that you haven’t been sleeping – I go through phases of insomnia and have done since college (around exams I used to get crazy) Now the slightest stress causes really bad sleep problems for me. Add that to the fact that I go to bed early and get up early – my partner goes to bed late and gets up late … not fun!
I love greek yoghurt – it took a while though. I try to limit my servings though as it plays havoc with my asthma. One serving every 5 days or so. I have it with stewed apple. nom nom.

TOO funny that you talked about Greek yogurt. I am currently eating FAGE greek yogurt, and honestly trying not to throw up after every swallow. I bought it because of its protein content (17grams for the 2%) and sugar (only 8grams). I love Chobani Peach, but it had 13grams of sugars…but at least i don’t feel like throwing up when i eat it. LOL. Glad i only bought 2 of these FAGEs. 😛 Blech. 🙂

I am starting to train for my first half marathon (May 14!). The training is going well so far. I need to remember to take it easy, while still accomplishing the miles.

I love Chobani for yogurt with fruit already in it. I also tend to buy Trader Joe’s when I am in the mood to do some mix-ins. So yummy!

I know it’s bad but I’m a HUGE fan of Liberte Mediterranean yogurts. SO DELICIOUS. They have a high fat content though so I will usually treat it more as a treat (a small serving for dessert) rather than eat it every day for breakfast.

I agree – once you go to greek yogurt you don’t go back.

I have been feeling overwhelmed/anxious lately too. Took on way too many projects this month and now freaking out about how to fit them all in. Sigh.

I finally tried Chobani for the first time last week (I do almost all my shopping at Trader Joe’s, so it’s not really an option!). LOVE Chobani – I’ll be making special trips to a regular grocery store to get this stuff!

I slept in instead of doing my 11-miler this weekend because I was volunteering at a race for most of the weekend and wanted to sleep in at least ONCE this week. I have an 18-miler this weekend!

I like Fage 2%, hands down. I have yet to try Siggis, but most other Greek yogurt doesn’t come close to Fage.

Caitlin,
I suffered from massive anxiety a few years ago. The book: The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety (Forsythe) changed (and saved) my life. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone suffering from or trying to “manage” anxiety through avoidance or medication. Seriously. I still go back to it when I feel the anxiety creeping in. I loved it so much that I actually tracked down the author so I could send him a letter thanking him for writing it (and he wrote back!).

I’ve been having to be pretty flexible in my training these past few weeks due to weather. Which it’s not a big deal. Like you said, it’s about being safe! You’ll get the miles in one way or another.

Just posted this morning about how I had to modify last minute to listen to my body… hard for me to do but I’m glad I made the right decision! I’ve been flexible with training to avoid injury I just always make sure to run at least three times a week and get a long run in.

I love Okios plain greek! Although I just got a new brand “Athenos” which I’m excited to try!

My training for the NYC Half-Marathon on 3/20 is going okay..I am just ready for the race to be here! I’ve been trying to run higher mileage and do tempos or speed workout once a week to get used to my desired race pace. Hopefully it pays off.

I am a HUGE fan of Chobani, but tend to buy Trader Joe’s more frequently…they have huge 16 oz containers of 0% plain that are only $2.99 and I can usually get 3 servings out of it when I mix in my own fruit, oats, cereal, etc. I am dying to try Siggi’s since they have some fun flavors but the price is a major deterrent for me 🙁

I haven’t trained for a race since the NYC Marathon but I can totally sympathize. I also think the stress of being injured when you “know you need to train” is probably contributing. Hopefully a couple glasses of red wine and some couch time are in your future 🙂
xoxo

Not training for anything so I can’t comment on that– however yogurt I can weigh in on! My favorite Greek yogurt is Greek Gods full-fat yogurt, the green one. It’s amazing and so creamy, and for $3.30 for the large container I usually get 5-6 servings, making it super cheap. I think it’s better than Chobani, but tastes about the same as Fage while being cheaper. It’s hard to find, though!

Love Chobani 🙂 I buy the 12-pack (of individual containers to take to work) at Costco, but the only flavors are strawberry, blueberry and peach. I so wish we had pineapple or pomegranate. I also buy the Fage brand in a larger tub for the fridge at home. Recently though, I’ve spied Chobani in a larger tub (with plain as an option, which is good because sometimes I don’t really want the fruit flavor). I like some of the Oikos flavors, but don’t buy them unless I have a coupon (too spendy for how small they are).

I’m training for a Spring half marathon (not my first), and it’s been going well, except a lingering off-and-on injury. I’m allowing my weekly mileage to take a hit for a few weeks, because I have loads of time before the half (in May).

What about Fage? I think that’s probably my favorite. That and a local yogurt called Atlanta Greek Yogurt which is extremely expensive.

I’m training for a marathon right now, but not following any hard and fast program. I think I may have done too much too soon! Last week I ran 49 miles, including a long run of 24 miles. But this week I felt so drained and tired, I could only manage to get 25 miles total accomplished all week! I did do yoga and plyo for a bit of cross training, but I’m a little worried I burned myself out a bit the week previous. Sigh! My race is early April, so I may try to readjust and follow a plan a little more stringently rather than seeing how far I can go! Good luck to you with your training!

I have never tried Siggi’s but I love Oikos. Like you said, Chobani is too expensive for me. Sadly, I don’t have a TJ near me either.

I heart Chobani! Sometimes I don’t follow a training plan and just go with how I feel. Eventually the running mojo comes back. Good luck in your training!

I really enjoyed how thick Siggi’s was… but did you find it a little sour ? Bc of that chobani is def my favorite flavored yogurt and fage (2%) is my favorite plain yogurt. I think Siggi’s is def over priced and a little sour ;P

I don’t think I have a preferred Greek yogurt, since I don’t actually eat yogurt much anymore. My training for my marathon is going pretty well so far! I did an excellent 13 mile run yesterday, but I know it’ll get progressively harder.

Greek God’s ~ Honey Yogurt ~ very good.

I’m not doing as well as I’d like. I had a terrible run on Friday and now my ankle and foot hurt. I feel like a wuss. It’ll get better. I hope you feel better soon and get some well deserved rest.

training is not going well. i moved back to school 2 weeks ago and between the gym being SO packed with everyone trying to lose weight for spring break, first week of class stress, snowdays, sorority recruitment, and the flu i haven’t been able to get in good runs. to add to it i just found out today the gym across the street from my apartment is closed, so now i have to trek down to the main campus to use that track…bah.

i love chobanni. had some this morning, actually. i’m interested in trying siggis!

Whole Foods has a coupon right now for Siggis! http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/coupons/
I tried the pomegranate one, but it was too tart for me. Should get the vanilla to try…

TJ is my favorite plain greek yogurt…

Milk from grassfed cows makes it totally worth it. I use plain Organic Stoneyfield yogurt. I get the big tubs because we go through a lot of it!

I’ve never tried siggi’s before, but I’ve heard so many great things that I think I’m going to shell out the money to try some… chobani is my trusted favorite though!

I flippin LOVE Siggis! I don’t usually eat much yogurt though, because it makes me feel inflamed (and my acupuncturist says it doesn’t do fun things for my body).

I love Chobani and Fage, but really want to try Siggis. I read an article about the guy who created and commercialized it and loved his story. Maybe I’ll convert…who knows!

Favorite yogurt – Fage Greek. Ran 13 miles on Sunday outside here in Chicago. Got lots of stabalizer muscles workout in on that one. Running Austin 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks. But i’m only running 2 x per week because I also started training for an ironman in january. So swimming and biking on other days. I’ve run 19 marathons and have always tried to be flexible with the schedule. If you start worrying about not running then it starts to be not fun anymore.

Kayla. I am also an outdoor MI runner training for my first half in March. Had my first fall this weekend OUCH. Had been running in icebugs which were great right up until I fell. Extenuating circumstances– my first 1O miler heading for 13.1 and home when new snow fell during my run covering ice smooth ice enough that I couldn’t see and that cleats didn’t grab into ice. How are coping w the ice/snow? Are you using yak trax, screw shoes or other? Thanks for any input or advice. I have a lot more training to get in before March and one fall was more than enough.

Brown Cow Greek yogurt! Delicious. I like vanilla or plain and I add in my own stuff. The absolute best is vanilla yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes.

I just recently tried Siggi’s its awesome but way to expensive I agree. I love Fage plain yogurt and sweetening it up in my own way!

1. My training is actually going great, which is a surprise to me! Usually I flake out, and I’ve only missed 2 days, due to huge snow. Hopefully I can keep it up.
2. I actually like my yogurt on the looser side (get your mind out of the gutter) so I like Wallaby. Its Australian and organic, but not thick at all. My favorite is the maple flavor with walnuts, YUM.

1. My favorite yogurt is Fage 0% with a tsp of agave and sometimes with cinnamon or granola. I love the thickness and creaminess – YUM!
2. I am training for a sprint triathlon this summer. I normally do a lot of cardio but rarely run. I had to decrease my mileage because my knees are swelling so I know how you feel.

1. Have you seen the recent articles in the Wall Street Journal and FItSugar about the effects of training on your love life? Just curious if you’ve experienced this because I’d have to say that right now my half marathon training is going TOO well. My bf recently complained to me that I’m always “gone running” when we used to make and eat dinner together and snuggle on weekend mornings. On my rest days I’m out with my girlfriends or whenever we do go out as a couple it’s with a group. Oops. Thankfully, we’re both good communicators and value what we’ve got going so I adjusted my training last week. I wish he was a runner, but he’s not. Instead, we compromised and played tennis together over this past weekend and are going to bike next weekend, just us two. For the full scoop and links to the articles I mentioned, I just posted this today: http://thebestofmindy.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/date-night-2/
2. If I eat yogurt it’s gotta be frozen. 🙂 Otherwise, I prefer cottage cheese.

I am training for my first 10k. I have yet to miss run, but I am incredibly slow which is a little frustrating.

Chobani is my favorite greek yogurt. I’ve never tried Siggi’s though.

I’m training for the National Half too! And training is going OK. I’m not quite as driven or regimented as I was for my first half, but I think I’m doing okay. Running in this winter weather is tough, and it’s hard to gauge my progress. I’m not sure I’ll PR either, but when you make every race about PR’ing, I think that takes some of the fun out of it, don’t you?

I am training for a half that’s a week after yours and my training was going great and then last week, life happened. Darn life! 🙂 I didn’t fit a single run in and then had 9 miles yesterday and WOW did I feel it!! I am still pretty sore! Anyway, I learned my lesson and I am vowing to no longer skip any runs!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chobani, but my stomach doesn’t 🙁

Liberte is really the only widely available Greek yogurt in Canada and luckily I really love it! I’ve tried Chobani and Oikos, and I actually didn’t like them as much!

I think it’s awesome you’re keeping your priorities straight with training. There will be plenty of other races, but you’ve only got one body and you need to take care of it. 🙂
