Tips for pre-race anxiety!?
I just finished my first half marathon about 2 weeks ago now. I am so amazed at how wonderful it feels to accomplish this long awaited and sought after personal goal of mine. I now plan to tackle a goal I've held since I was 18. I am starting this week my training for a full marathon! I found that my anxiety to perform was…
PERICARDITIS and running
Hi! Ive been a runner for many years and finished a 1/2 about 1 years ago. I have chronic pericarditis ( now for about 6 years). My cardiologist doesn't want me to race anymore but I'm dying to get back into it. I run still but not to race and not nearly as hard. Does anyone have history of this or currently? Looking for…
Back-to-back Marathons?
I have resumed training after taking a 3-week break (after realizing I had been in some sort of training/maintenance for more than a year), have seen good progress in my full and half-marathon times. I find the half-marathon distance "easy" now. but I do run a mix of half-and full marathons. I have run some of the shorter…
New to group, not to distance running
I'm new on myfitnesspal, and new to this group. Don't know for sure how much I'll be hanging around; it depends in part on how active this group is or becomes. I ran my first half in April 2014. Got a stress fracture of the metarsals after that, came back enough to salvage a half out of the entry fee I paid for the…
Half Marathon Training Program
What half marathon training program has been most successful for your goals? :smile:
Ankle pain! Help??
I am training for my first 1/2 marathon! Yay! I trained about 2-3 years ago but never made it due to a inflamation issue with my heart. I am back into training and currently ran a 10 k about 3 weeks ago. I am since before that race having ankle pain in the medial area around my ankle bone down to my arch. I started using…
First run down
Man does hitting the pavement feel good- LOL. I did 2 runs this week (mind you there were only 1 mile and 1.5 miles) but I was told to start at 1/2 mile-2 miles so I went middle of the pack. My knee is feeling great but my hip is stiff so need to do plenty of stretches. I think it is because my hamstring hurts as they took…
New to the Group- Hello!
Hi everyone! My name is Zalika and I am doing my 2nd half marathon in October. I did the PF Chang's half at the beginning of this year in Jan. I will be doing the Rock and Roll Marathon in 3 months in Los Angeles and I am so not ready. So far I can run about 4 miles in an hour. I would like to shoot for a finish time under…
Am I nuts?
I have managed to get back up to 2 miles since surgery- not so much from knee pain but my hip is sore and of course cardio is still not up to snuff. I had surgery on my hip 3 months before ACL surgery. Same side- yep I am falling apart- LOL. Anyway I think it is from lack of use more than anything. So my crazy mind is…
