Re: Slow exercises
While 20 seconds for the squat sounds extreme there is a benefit to the "negative" of the weight lifting exercise. The negative is the bringing the weight down after pushing it up. Many people do the negative too quickly it should be done slow.

Re: Half Marathon
I have run a few half marathons but not recently. It is all about putting in the work in your training. If you have been serious about your preparation through your regular runs you will be just fine!

Re: Opinions in the Gym
It is considered improper gym etiquette to disrespect the less fit new comers to the gym. Besides this the casual users of the gym keep the price down for the gym regulars! Welcome to the gym wishing you success in your fitness goals!
