The Run SMART Project (Youtube Page)
Lot's of great running advise. I especially love that they have uploaded a bunch of videos from a seminar that Dr. Jack Daniels gave. Dr. Daniels is probably the most well respected running coach in the world right now. He invented the VDOT matrix and wrote a book on it called the Daniels' Running Formula. If you want to listen to a guy that knows running, this is the guy that knows it and has done it for so many years.

Sage Canaday's page. He is young marathon elite and offers great advise on his page.

He is also famous for his pace calculator.

Chi Living (Youtube)
Danny Dreyer developed a new running concept (borrowed from Tai Chi) called ChiRunning and ChiWalking.
Some people found great sucess in it.

I just discovered this one and it had a video of an interview with Phil Maffetone.
I haven't watched the other videos but it looks like some good information being discussed.

I'm having grinding and popping noises in my left knee and sometimes it will just give out. This happened a few years ago when I was training for a Tough Mudder. I slapped on a cheap brace from Walmart and it seemed to get better.

Now that I'm running more again it is happening again. Ok so I've been told that I have Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

And I have been told to buy a Patella Tracking Knee Brace. Anybody have a good idea that which I should buy that will do the trick, not slide down my leg or make me sweat to death, or cost me a fortune?
