What is a good run time for a 10k?

Is there any way to gain muscle without working out?
The theory of using electrical currents to contract your muscles and 'work them out' has been tested. From what I heard, it's far less efficient than a normal work out. Basically, to work any part of your body out, you have to put up some resistance to keep it up to top strength. This includes your heart and cartilage [donating blood forces your cartilage to work to reproduce it] as well as bones and muscles. So, the best way is to just work out for a few minutes a day.
However, there are a few simple exercises that you can use on a daily basis to earn muscle:- while at home, walk on your toes to build buff calf's
- if you are sitting down, press your knees together and hold for as long as your can
- if you are sitting in a desk with the chair attached, push on the desk as hard as you can for built arms
- if you can, lean back in your chair until you can feel it in your abs and hold it there
- hold up your body with your arms while sitting down for a long time to build you arms
- if you're sitting at a desk, stand on your toes and push up on the desk with your knees. be sure to hold the desk down! (this exercise only works with shorter desks, or ones a little higher than your knee)
- if none of these work, you can also try just squeezing any muscle for a long period of time, that'll work too!

What is better for you a slow pulse or fast?
As your heart and circulatory system in general becomes more efficient through exercise, your pulse rate should slow. Generally, a slower resting heart rate is preferable. In a healthy person, good cardiovascular fitness means that a persons heart is capable of pumping more blood per contraction and therefore doesn't need to pump as often to get a sufficient amount of oxygen out into the body. For instance, Lance Armstrong's resting heart rate is just 32-34 beats per minute- compare that to the typical 70-80 bpm for normal individuals. There are some cases where people may experience slow heart rate from an underlying physical problem, a condition known as Bradycardia. Sufferers may experience light-headedness or fainting as they are unable to get enough oxygen to their brain at such a low heart rate. At the same time, a high heart rate during exercise serves as a gauge of the intensity of ones exertion- the more demanding, the higher one's heart rate will be. The higher this maximum heart rate, the more an individual can exert themself. So a low resting heart rate (excluding Bradycardia) and a high maximum heart rate are preferable.

What does no explode supplement do?
no explode is a nitric oxide booster, designed to be taken pre workout.. nitric oxide is naturally prodused in the body. its function is to relax the blood vesssel walls, allowing them to dilate. the theory goes, if you are able to increase the levels of NO, you can dilate the blood vessels for a longer period of time, thus allowing more blood to flow to the muscles. this equates to more nutrients being delivered to the muscle tissue, NO explode also contains creatine in it. there are many NO boosters on the market, as well as many creatine products.. in my experience and opinion, i would definitely purchase creatine before buying an NO product.. i am not going to say don't try it, but i think dollar for dollar, you are better off spending money on the basics. protein, multi vitamins, creatine, and an l-glutamine powder.. this stack is the biggest bang for your buck.. after these 4, the next on the list would be an NO product. NO explode mixes very well with water.. hovever, i personally never could get past the taste. i did not find it to be much more effective than other L arganine products i have taken in pill form..
