When Do You Stop?
So, not to be depressing, and understanding that we all run for different reasons, but what do you think will actually get you give up running? I love running and the freedom to choose to run when and how I please. I am currently going through multiple obstacles to running - all physical - and its making me ponder.…

Runners over 50
What has changed for you as a runner once you cross that half-century mark? Frequency of training runs, injury recover time, easier age category, running with "special" undergarments (ha!), absolutely nothing has changed.....? As with many,for me chronological age is a number and nothing more. However, I certainly take…

Gels
Hi, I've had a lot of success taking gels every mile on my long runs. I know many purists say that you cant "gel" your way to fitness and I agree, but my stomach loves them and I can feel the kick every time and although my times are stagnant, I feel great! Anyone else?:happy:

Marathon Shirt
Mostly for men I guess; what shirt, do you or are you going to, wear for your marathon? Almost all my technical shirts come from previous races (10K and Half); so I haven't actually bought one in a long time. But I thought I'd drop a little cash on a good cool comfy shirt for my marathon in 53 days (but who's counting).…

Why Do You Run
So, beyond the physical aspect (conditioning, potential weight-loss, etc.), under the mental and emotional banners of the human condition, why do you run long distance?

Hydration...Again
I know this topic has been done but I couldn't find a recent thread. I've read tons on this topic...and tried water, Cytomax (sports drink) and coconut water. I've read the do's and don'ts (don't drink sports drink and eat gels etc.). I have a marathon coming on June 1st and just came off a horrible collapse over the last…

Running and PX90
Does anyone run..distance training..and do PX90? Do they co-exist well? My running is going fine but want to develop some upper body definition and cant lift due to shoulder issue. Just want to make sure I have enough energy for strong runs if I start doing the Px90 stuff. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Half Marathon Goal Advice
Hi there! I am training for a Marathon on June 1st. This weekend I am running in a half marathon race that's on trail, but nothing too technical and moderate inclines. I am also trying to teach my body to run negative splits, which has been tough for me in the past. My last 20k training run 2 weeks ago was equal splits…

Back-to-Back
Does anyone know, besides the Disney Races, if there are weekend running events where you can run lets say a 10K on Saturday and a Half on Sunday? The Disney's look great but sell out fast and are really expensive. Last year I ran an 18k Trail Race on Saturday and then drover 3 hours and overnighted and ran a 10k Trail…
