I don't do a dynamic warm up. I just start off with a slow 5 minutes run. If I'm feeling abnormally tight I might foam roll before running or stretch. After my run, I foam roll, stretch, and do some quick strength exercises. Foam rolling and stretching really helps with the soreness for me. I am always noticeably more…

Since it's been a month and you're still having problems, I'd make an appointment with an orthopedist.
-
~11:00 min/mi when I started tracking time and not just distance.
-
Orthopedist that specializes in sports medicine. I wouldn't waste your time seeing a primary care doctor if you don't need a referral for specialists.

I'd see a podiatrist or orthopedist, and get a referral for physical therapy.

Lululemon usually has cute ones.

Try slowing down. Also realize that training "set backs" are totally normal. Maybe you're getting sick, not getting enough sleep, over training (perhaps the training plan increased too quickly for you in terms of distances and frequency, and it's just catching up to you now; or maybe you need a cut back week), or maybe…

Sounds like your shoes don't fit properly. I'd try lacing them loser and if that doesn't work go back to the store that fitted you (you did get fitted at a specialty running store, right?).

Ice and rest it until you can walk without pain.

Depends on what I'm running with or wearing - armband, hand held water bottle pocket, or shirt/jacket or bra pockets.

Garmin. DC Rainmaker has very in-depth reviews of GPS watches. I highly recommend taking a look at his site before making any purchases: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/product-reviews

She should not go to the ER! Her ankle pain is not an emergency medical issue.

Awesome work!

As someone who continued running with tendonitis and ended up doing 6 months of PT, I recommend you rest and make an appointment with your doctor before the pain gets worse.

It's your shoes not the machines that are causing your feet to hurt.

Lululmon Stuff Your Bra. is my favorite. I'm a 32C. It has an open back so it's cooler, is supportive enough for long runs, and has outer pockets.
-
13 - 6 for running and 7 that are not supportive enough to run long distances in.

I started lifting at 12 or 13. As others have said, make sure he has good form. If you or your boyfriend lift then demonstrate how to properly lift. If not, I'd set up a few sessions with a personal trainer who can help him develop a good plan.

Do not run through the knee pain or you may end up with a serious injury. Take a couple of days off. Are you a new runner or did you recently increase your run frequency and mileage? Either way, your body is telling you that you're doing too much and that you need to cut back and gradually increase. Also, are you doing any…
-
Both, unless you plan on running in just a sports bra. Are you running in a tank top without a bra or in a tank tops with the bra built in? I'd get a supportive sports bra and some moisture wicking tank tops. If you don't need a lot of support, you might like the running tank tops with the bra built it. You're not going to…

Shea butter and coconut oil make mine heal very quickly even if the rubbing hasn't gotten to the point of forming a blister.

Strength training can reduce the appearance of cellulite. I've never had a lot of cellulite, but mine has gone away completely.

Go to your local running store and get fitted: http://www.runnersworld.com/store-finder

You really shouldn't need to fuel during a half, but if you plan on doing so you should start trying out different things (sports drink, gels, blocks, energy bars, granola bars, real food, etc) to figure out what will work for you and isn't going to make you sick. Definitely don't try to eat something during the race for…

I usually run between 9-12:30am and have for years. Only you can gauge whether it's good idea and what gear you'll need. I don't find it necessary to use any special gear such as a head lamp, reflective gear, or light, but it's well lit where I live and run. I only bring the same things that I run with during the day:…

I'm in DC. Depending on the temperature I wear: ear warmer, gloves with a wind breaking mitten cover, half-zip jacket with a long sleeve or tank top underneath, and running tights. If it's very windy or abnormally cold (below 15F) I'll also wear a vest or a heavier jacket. If it's above 35-40F I usually wear shorts instead…

How often are you running? If you're not running 3 times a week, you're probably not going to see much progress. If you slow down while running I bet you will be able to run longer. Try running at a slower pace and either increasing the running time or decrease the walking time. For example, you might want to try ~30…
