Running

I'm thinking of taking up running but not sure I want to run out in 100 degree heat. I will most likely do my running in the evening or early morning hours, but still, for those of you who have been running for a while, do you still run during the summer, or do you bring it inside and run on the treadmill. Also when winter comes, how can you run with snow and ice on the ground? And how could you keep from getting sick in the winter from sweating outside in the cold air? (Don't tell me getting sick comes from germs not from being in the cold, I know that, but being cold and sweating seems like it would run down your resistance). So how do you deal with extreme temperatures?

I am in great shape and I am very fast when it comes to sprints. I condition and work out alot. But for the love of me I can't run distances fast at all. I have to slow jog it to survive, while people who did nothing all summer lap me. Can someone explain this to me please?

My question today is how does stealth rubber work and what is its limitations? Like for instance can it climb alongside a wall or can it climb on a steep surface. That is a question I wish to ask.

as she is without doubt the best runner there is. her trainers must be the best ( even though suited to her style of running)

well im a mile (actually 1600m)and sometimes a 800m runner. I need help with running the mile. I was thinking maybe running the first lap fairly fast, medium speed second two laps, and then turning it up on the last lap. what do you think? what strategy do you use?

I ran the disney half marathon last year, but this year I decided to do a half marathon locally in Clermont. I just started training on my own. I would like to know if anyone ran and walked a half marathon before. I tried running the whole marathon but didn't make it. I really thought that I pushed myself. Has anyone ran and walked a marathon before? If you could give me some pointers it would be great. Last year I had a coach but this year I am just trying to continue my running, and to do my best. Also any good ideas on what to eat would be informative. Thank you.

so i have this friend and he runs 3 miles in 16-17 minutes... i'm relatively new and the last time i ran 3 miles it was 22 min (it was around my 4 time running it, but the first time that i timed myself). is there any way to get as fast or faster, in a relatively short amount of time (one year)? also keeping in mind that he will also get faster in the year.

if so how should i go around doing it? like i said, i'm new at running so i'm not sure what good workout strategies are.

I am 15 and this is my second year running xc. Last year I started the season out with a 25:63 and ended with a 23:59. At the begining of this year I have ran 2 races and both have had a time of around 27:04. How can I get back to my last year's time or better? I go to practices and work hard. Any special techniques that would be good? I would appreciate anything. thanks

Ok heres the deal I'm an athlete, I play football and sprinter in track I'm all about short distance sprints from 60-400meters. Every now and then I go out side and run 20 sprints. I run the first 10 sprints at about 80% with 10-15 sec breaks in between. After the first 10 sprints I go for an water break for about 3-5 mins then do my last 10 sprints at the same rate but I sprint the last 10 at about 90%. I was wonder is this a good workout and will it help me improve performance.....and how often should I do it....?

I just read that aspirin helps you run by thinning your blood, and helping oxygen travel faster so you can run better? I can't find any reputable sources that confirm this though..so i'm asking for any links that people can give me.

I usually don't like to take anything when I run, but I have soccer tryouts monday, and lately i've been running really stiffly, and just going slow because of it so I figure I will take some sort of painkiller, but would Aspirin help me extra?

I have Bayer Aspirin, Tylenol max strength 500mg, and meijers ibuprofin

Links-good sources, any more information no this ASAP would be awesome

Thanks

I'm starting up XC soon, so I've been jogging and running around my neighborhood just to start to get my muscles ready for my high school XC team's practice. I tend to get shin splints easily, and they hurt so bad! Is it because of my shoes? My toes are getting blood blisters from them (they're not too tight either)... so I'm not sure if that's what it is. Is there any advice you have for new XC runners and treating shin splints? Do you know why I would be getting them so frequently? (BTW I tend to pronate my feet when I walk/run) any help is appreciated.

Yesterday while running in the woods I rolled my ankle on a root... I landed on the outside of the ankle and it hurt for about a minute and then my coach/camp counselor who was with me told me it was best to keep running in order to keep the blood circulating. After hobbling for a few steps I regained a semi-normal stride and finished the 5 mile run at a fast pace. I iced somewhat and elevated but I had a six hour van ride later that day and mostly my ankle was kept still & not really taken care of. Today I have a day off from running but this morning I woke up with extremely limited range of motion in my ankle... I have to walk with my foot turned outward in order to be able to move at all: it is as if my achilles tendon is also affected even though only the outer ankle is swollen, it is as if my achilles will not bend fully in order to let me walk normally. What the heck is wrong with my ankle and when will it get better? Should I ice it or heat it??
