1. Reebok Trinity KFS

Im a long distance runner and swimmer. I know that running puts a lot of impact on your ankles and shins which isn't good in the long run, but i fell so good after a run. My vote is on swimming though because it's less hard on your body but i would love some more input.

I'm pretty active. I'm wondering if I should just take the next 3 days off from running and then start up again but my legs have been really sore after I get done running now (a mile or more 5 times a week plus playing softball). Sound like a good idea? Other suggestions?

yesterday, i walked for 20 mins, ran for 40, and did 5 strides which are when you run hard for 20 mins and then slow for 45. if i only do 20 mins of walking and 20 of running today, is this too little?

Basically, I had just started running in the month of June and was running 11 miles/week. About one week ago, there was pain in my left foot when I ran, walked (in my running shoes) or walked barefoot. Walking in heels at work was fine. So, for the last week, I had a little limp. Today was the first time it was better, when I walked (no limping). So, I decided to run, but the pain came back right away. There is no swelling and the pain is not unbearable. Should I stop running until there is no pain?

I am training for the Fire Academy and my goal is to run the mile and a half in under 9 minutes. My best time so far is 9:20. I have less than 10 weeks to get under 9 minutes. I am currenty running intervals on monday. 3x800 in 1:30. and wednesday and Friday I have been running at a moderate pace for 4 to 6 miles. I was wondering if I should increase my distance that I am running my intervals or stay at the same distance and work on running them faster? Any help would be great.

I am a runner, I've run 3 marathons, 4 or 5 1/2 marathons, and some 15K's here and there. I haven't been running too much due to the heat, but today I ran a 3 mile race and my heart rate was at 100%. I'm 35 years old and it was at 188. I was trying to run faster than normal, and my average heart rate when I run my races is normally 172 (which is normally a good pace for me). Is there something wrong with running at 100% of your heart rate?

Ok, what does it mean by..

"Perform an all-out 30 second sprint effort."

Your help would be much appreciated!

I've been training for a marathon in October, and the long weekend runs have jumped up to around 8 miles depending on the week. I find that on the back end of my long runs I become extremely dehydrated and in need of fluids. What is the best way to hydrate when you are 4-5 miles away from your house or car?

I have tried running with a water or Gatorade bottle in my hand, but find it annoying to have to carry something while running. I've looked into a vest type device that straps around your body, but they seem bulky.

Anyone have ideas?

when im at the gym i can easily run 4 miles at a high resistance and a good pace on an eliptical machine but when i run outside i can make it about half a mile before my lungs start to hurt. i dont smoke, im a rugby player...so i can run up and down the field, but its usually broken up with tackles and rucks and whatever. what is so different about the two types of exercise? its annoying me!!

My lower left leg has been hurting for some time now. Back in Feb. it started hurting so I stopped running for about a month. Next month I tried again, still hurt, so I stopped for another month. Tried running again, still hurt, took 2 months off. Ran low, slow miles for about a week and it began hurting again. It's not shin splints so I'm wondering if it's a stress fracture. I've tried the whole RICE thing but it hasn't helped. I really thought with this much time a stress fracture would've healed. thanks!

It's designed to keep them warm.

What's the name of it and where can I find it?

So last week I walked/jogged 3 miles a day Mon-Sat. in two different sessions, each about 40 min. I would walk til the urge to run would hit me.

Near the end of the week I was running more, and my calf muscles would tense up something bad. When that happened I'd just walk, kind of stretching my leg out behind me as I did.

I do stretch a bit before I go on, not so much after, and always walk at least 5-10 minutes before running.

Today I had to stop running because it hurt and I was afraid. Am I doing something wrongly? Why do my calf muscles (and knees) hurt now? Should I cut down running to 3 days a week?

If you can answer any of those, thanks!

I was wondering if Nike shocks were good for running in. Are they even designed for the purpose of running, or just for the purpose of comfort and support?

I am 17 (born December 89) I run quite regularly abt 31miles a week. (6 days per week), but am constantly increasing my running.

I run a 5:15 mile, and am hovering around 18 minutes for a 5k. I have run in alot of 5k's and am beginning to find the distance boring.

Although only 17, I am seriously considering running in a half-marathon. I am off to the University of San Francisco in the fall, and am either interested in a half marathon in either october or my main goal is the Bath(England) half marathon in mid-march.

Is 17, or early 18...too early to be running a half marathon?

I was thinking of joining an athletics club to improve but how does it work? Are you taught with other people?Because i don't want to look crap in front of people. Are you like trained by a coach individually?

I'm relatively fit and I can run about a 6-minute mile. After running for a mile or a mile and a half, I don't get exhausted but just uncomfortable. How can I break through this wall and run 5 or more miles?
