Hi. I used to be a track star back in the late 80's. Now I'm determined to resume running for the rest of my life. So far, so good. I run 2 miles daily now, sometimes a little more. I go somewhat slowly, but my fitness level is pretty decent.

On June 3, having trained only about a week (registered late, wasn't serious before...) in the POURING BUCKETS rain and a shoe lace that kept untying, I ran a 5K in 36 minutes.

I'm running my 2nd on August 26 and my goal is 28 - 30 minutes. I think it is very doable. What should my goal be for a race I'll run say in October? I plan to train about 5 days per week.

Thanks!

(more details if needed: I'm a 36 year old female, 5'10, pretty muscular, about 190 pounds ... )

Is it normal to feel pain all the time when i am running or walking alot?? I have always, as long as i can remember, had shin pains. Its so painful now, that when i run i have to stop 2 seconds into it. Is this something that is normal , can it be fixed by stretching more or something???

Ive been running for the last 5 months (iregularily, then reguarily etc) and now regularily again.

I run on the treadmill and have a mild burning in my chest after 2 min. of running (kind of like a heavy book is on my chest) Doctor said I dont have asthma and I am very healthy otherwise. I can run a little better outside on a track (maybe 4 min).

Either way, if I push myself and ignore my breathing til the end of a mile or 2 I can make it BUT at the end I feel like Im dying for air.

Doctor and medical advice aside, how can I improve my breathing. Is it possible? My brother is a doctor and said I dont have any medical condition I just need to exercise more. But now I am in great shape, lost weight and still can't breathe! My legs are stronger but my chest is holding me back.

PLEASE HELP ME!! Thanks.

I run cross country and always chew gum when i run races. It helps keep my mind off the pain and keeps my mouth from getting dry. Does anyone else like to run with gum???

Thanks,

I run 6/7 miles almost every night, same path almost every time depending on my work out day. Anyways, I was about half way and past a group of annoying idiots (a year or so younger than me), I am 19.

I didn't hear anything the first time I can by, I had my headphones on, I can around the cultasack and heard "Run Forest run" the time coming back. I stopped and said, you have a ****ing problem? He was like 17 and not whimp, he was in a drive way with like 3 other guys and somebodies dad. He said, "keep running *****", blah blah and kept talking. I just stood there standing tough, didn't show a flinch when he was trying to act tough in front of his friends. Eventually I said...."You are a real dumbass, good job making yourself look like an idiot", then he got pissed and walked into the drive way (I was across the street).

I am in very good shape, 6 pack, bench quite a bit more than my weight (145), 6 foot, legs are pure muscle.

Would you have done something?

For those of you who have run them, what's your heart rate average at for a fast 5k?

2007-08-06 21:38:24 · 2 answers · asked by christopherryan_lt 2

I run about 2 to 4 miles every day. My legs never cramp up.. it's only my stomach. More specifically, either the right or left areas under my ribs. After maybe the first 7 minutes of running, the cramps start.

My old cross country coach told me it was because I was breathing incorrectly. She told me to inhale only through my nose, and exhale only through my mouth, consecutively.

So far it hasn't been working, unless I'm using that technique incorrectly. And I never eat within at least 2 hours before I run, nor do I drink a lot of water before or during the run.

So can anybody tell me why this is happening, and how to prevent this?
