Chronic Migraines - I can't take it anymore :(
I've been dealing with chronic migraines/chronic daily headache since 2006. I've had to go to the ER for severe migraines a couple times. I have a headache almost every day. It's gotten to the point that my friends/family know it's a pretty bad one if I actually say something about it. For the last week, I've had an aura.…

Fuel Belts?
At what point do you think it's necessary to start using a fuel belt/start refueling during a run? I'm only doing about 4-4.5 miles at a time right now, and I drink water or gatorade when I get home, but I'm thinking that I should start looking at taking something with me soon. I hate carrying things in my hands when I run…

How to pace in training?
Ok. I've been doing c210k, but I'm done with that and starting a new training plan (SmartCoach from Runner's World) to increase my distance to 10 miles by the end of November and after, I'll be starting half-marathon training.

Question about heart rate (possibly for women?)

Today the second I started my warm up, I was in the…

Question to outside runners...
Does anyone have a tip to keep those stupid little gnat/fly things away? I get so annoyed when I'm trying to run, and they're flying around my head following me (usually when it's really hot and/or humid so I'm extra sweaty).
