Running is not great for weight loss. Most new runners who train for a half or full will gain weight. Weight loss for running will occur around 65 plus miles a week. Those who are training at higher mileage are already thin. If you want to be thinner for a race, you have to do that prior to starting the training cycle.

That anxious/nervous is normal. This is how the body prepares you for races or events. Over time it will become easier and just part of your race week/day.

It takes time for the body to adjust to running. More so after a long layoff or being inactive. Keep in mind that your body has to absorb 5 to 6 times your body weight on each foot strike. The greatest impact will be at the feet and knees. Make sure you recover and don't do too much. It will get better.

Kara, Shalane and Meb did/do pretty well as heal strikers. It's not how your foot hits the ground, it's how fast you pick it up. Also, there are a lot of very fast runners who are flat footed, overpronate and don't wear stability shoes.

Easy days easy and hard days hard. Thursday should be your hard day for running (speed) because you are doing legs. Then on Friday you have an off day which will give you a full recovery for your Saturday long run.

This is really bad information. Just how much is too much? Is there a mileage amount that is too much? Humans are really good at running. Not everyone runs fast or far but all humans can run. Shalane Flanagan just won the NYC marathon. At a 5:36 pace at that. It's a world major. She's 36. She runs about 120 plus miles a…

Rollers.

Just a couple of quick thoughts. 1. Don't worry about pace, just run on feel. 2. Don't incline the TM. This will only cause injury. Nobody runs for an hour going up hill. Remember that you're not trying to replicate outside, you're just trying to run your mileage/time. 3. The TM does not move your feet. If that were true…

Greatest. Dirtbag. Ever. RIP

3 to 4 days per week for running. Run between 2-4 miles. Have a speed day. If she does this at the Sunday camp, then keep that day. First week would be a M-W-F-S and the second week would be T-Th-Sat-Sun. Keep repeating. If you can get her running on trails that would be better. No weights and no Crossfit for Kids. The…

You would need a neutral shoe.

First thing is to get a coach or read Jack Daniel's Running Formula. Book is cheaper. 40 mile a week is good but you will need to do at least 2 workouts a week. One would be your track workout and the other would be a tempo or longer steady state run. Increasing your interval pace/time to hit a pace/time for a race will…

The problem is more than likely the complex's pool. Apartment pools have high bather loads and they are not maintained in the best way. Most of them will add too much chlorine to help disinfect the water quicker. With the higher doses the Ph will be off as well. This is not the worse problem. I would be more worried if…

It's only 3.1 miles! If you walk a 15 minute pace you're done in just over 45 minutes. Have a beer at the end and enjoy the rest of your day. If you hurt the next morning, start drinking early.

Men's shoes are a D width and Women's are B width. You will need a size to 1.5 size smaller in length.

"and u never run on incline on the treadmill or you can injure yourself" This is completely false and incorrect information.

Do not run.

Yes, it's OK. It may help with recovery from your runs. You can also lift as well. Just not heavy. No reason to put on muscle weight. Do not do any leg weightlifting, only upper body. Low weight higher reps. Maybe do more body weight training. Core 3 times a week. The duathlon is a maybe. Depends on the time between the 2…

I've had the 1750 for over 7 years now and can't kill it! It's lived inside and in the garage. I think I've cleaned the deck twice. One summer because of late night hours, I put 50-60 miles a week on that thing. Both slow and faster paces. I use the inclines as well and the decline function. My kids run XC and if the…

If you plan to run XC next season then by all means start running now. A couple of things to do first. Get in touch with the coach and get an idea of what the team will be running in weekly miles when school starts. Your coach might even have a summer schedule to give you. If they give you info, then disregard the rest of…
