Running

i have just started running more often and dont know what to eat. I like to eat something before i run or i cramp on an empty stomach. Is there anything special to eat that will give me good energy but at the same time not have me cramp. Also how long should i wait before when i eat and when i run?

I can walk 5 miles a day easily.. my legs may start to cramp toward the end of my walk. I wan to to start jogging/running. I have never really been a jogger/runner.
The past couple of days I started off jogging 1/2 a mile. I would be gasping for air/feeling sick/hot by the time I completed half mile. I would rest & then get my second wind feeling like I could continue to run but always go for the walk.
What can I do to build my endurance for jogging/running? What can I do to stop the shortness of breath/etc? Will I be able to jog without feeling that way?
I really would love to jog 1-2 miles a day instead of walking....
Please help me. If you have a training program or know of one let me know.
Thanks :)

At around 6 miles today on my run..... the back, outer part of my right knee felt as if it was out of place. It didn't hurt, but was unusually uncomfortable. It was as if my knee felt a little out of place and wanted to lock up. I'm conditioned to running these distances and haven't had this problem before. I walked the rest of the way home and only felt it if I was walking at a brisk pace.... I have absolutely no discomfort now, but I'm afraid it might happen again on my next run. Anyone else ever had this problem? What is it?

I got on the scale after thinking I was back down at my target weight - and I was *wrong*! i have about 15 pounds to lose, and the only exercise i can see myself making time to do is running (I have a free track by my house). I am on top of my eating habits...it's the exercise I have some trouble with.

How many miles should I start with? What will be the best way to pace myself - I want to lose 15 pounds in 6 weeks, but I don't want to overdo it.

Last summer I ran everyday, alone, and I loved it.

I sort of fell off the wagon this year. I could say it's because i had a busy year at school but that's really a bad exscuse.

Anyway, I'm going out running now and my endurance.. wow it's down to 12 minutes. Horrid I know. I am watchign my pace though, I'm famous for going out too fast.
Running has always been a mental game for me but last summer I was pounding the pavement and loving it. Now it's blah.

Basically I have the initiative, I'm training for university tryouts, but I absolutely dread running now!! It used to be fun, it's not anymore.

How do you pick yourself up from a rut like this? And how do you watch your pace?
I avoid running with groups at all costs, I'm to competitive and it turns to a race and me getting frustrated.

I had the interior of my medial meniscus removed do to severe knee pain a few years back. I did not start running again after the surgery. Has anyone had good luck training and distance running after having this type of surgery? I believe I have about 70% of my meniscus remaining.

And if so - any tips!

I'll be running 30-40 minutes every day.
Will that make my legs muscular?
If so is there any way to achieve lean looking legs without them looking muscular?
Thanks. xx

I have to run 1/2 mile in 6 minutes in 6 days. I can only make it around the track 1 time and that's pushing it. I am in decent shape but haven't excercised in years. It gets hard to breathe when I run. Any advice that could help me?

I'm not sure if 2.4KM is consider a 1.5miles run BUT

I'll be running on this coming Saturday.

I tried running around the park and ended up resting after the second round. Half way through the 1st round, I couldn't breathe through my nostrils and had to breathe through my mouth which tired me out. On the second round, my chest felt as if someone set a fire on it. It was terrible.

I'll be running tomorrow again (hopefully this can make my run much more easier because I'm running 3 consecutive days.)

I was wondering, would this allow me to run faster/easier on Saturday morning?

*I want to build stamina as well, so that I wont feel breatheless easily.

Thanks!

I'm a 37 year old mum of two, been running for about 18months, currently do 3 or 4 runs a week of between 5 and 8 miles.. average time per mile usually works out between 10.50 and 11.10 minutes - I want to do longer distances and bring my average time down. Realistically, I can't do more than 4 sessions a week but I'm going to build in some interval training... I'd love to be able to average a 10 minute mile, am I being unrealistic?

I'm a 5'10" girl. I love running and have run half marathons with good results. I would like to run marathons competitively. Am I at a disadvantage because of my height? All the best female distance runners seem so much shorter.

TIA.

does running 45-60 minutes 6 days a week build/tone up your leg muscles well? Would taking protein supplements help increase the tone? Approx. how long to see a difference? I know that last question may be a bit tough to answer...ballpark idea??
Not sure if it matters, but I'm 5'4 and 115lbs.

I have been trying to bump up my distance for running--its about 1/2 a mile. I just can't seem to get any further without my legs giving out and feeling like I'm having a heart attack! Granted I haven't been practicing for very long, and its been years since I've actually tried running, but are some people just not runners? I'm not overweight, and I'm only 24 so I just don't know what my problem is!

I'm in pretty good shape, and the reason I want to start is to lose the last bit of fat on my abs...and improve my stamina and endurance. So I have a BUNCH of questions..so really..thank you in advance.

Should I run everyday? If not how often should I run?

If my main goal is to lose the fat around my abs, should I jog for a long time, or sprint for a short time?

I have ran for a hobby before, and I dont enjoy it, but I want to do it to improve my fitness, its worth it to me and important. Any tips on how you guys just keep on going and going and going without hating it?

Is running really going to make me lose the fat around my abs fairly quickly?

Thanks a ton everyone.
