Running

I have seen a lot of people lately who wear knee support while running. They look like tight neoprene with a hole for the knee (I'm assuming so it is easier to bend). Would these be beneficial for longer distance running to prevent injury? Thanks.

I am an experienced runner and have completed 3 marathons. My first 2 marathons, I used gu as my supplements and I was fine, but during my last one they made me sick. Someone suggested I try honey stingers. Has anyone tried them?

Brooks, Asics, New Balance? I'm looking for a new running shoe and I just want to get your review on the brand and model you like. Also, I have slightly wider feet, not wide but somewhere in between medium and wide. I have low arches, but I'm NOT flat footed. I've had New Balance 766 but I'm not a fan of those because they're a little stiff/firm and too heavy. I'm looking for a shoe I'll run in maybe 30 miles a week, so not very much to start with. Price is not a concern.

Please, no Nike, Reebok or Adidas suggestions because I'm not looking at buying those brands. I'm asking about the brands mentioned at the top. Thanks!

I want to run the 1/2 marathon in my city and it is in a year. I just don't know any other way, besides just running and getting used to it, to train for it. Does anyone know what else I could do?

hey :]
i'm in track and i have a meet tomorrow, so i'm just wondering if there are any mile runners living at over 6000 feet above sea level. i ask because there are a bunch of people at lower altitudes who say they run miles in like 6:15 but end up running 8 or 9 minute miles when they go to a high altitude place. personally, my mile is 7:40, and i'm one of the fastest on my middle school track team (sad, i know).

but i live in Colorado Springs, which is i think 6008 feet above sea level. what's an average mile time up here, and if you live in a high place, what's your mile time?

and how do i improve mine before tomorrow?? hah. i actually want to place this time.

My track coach said in front of the whole team that people who aren't scorers in Middle School will be in High School. He then pointed me out saying, "since Brendan is pre-pubescent and he is running just as good as some of our top girls, when he goes through puberty he will pack on muscle mass and probably run faster than most of our top guys." I AM tall and lanky (5'5" and 95lbs.) Most of the other top guys in my grade are running 5- 6 minute miles. I am the slowest on the team and i run a 7:24 mile. The second slowest boy on the team runs a 6:33. The coach does know my family, my sister ran with middle school team in 7th, and then in 8th grade she ran with High School team. When she was my age her mile time was 6:11. Does what my coach said make any sense to you? If it does could you explain? Why am I so much slower than my sister? And don't you think what he said was rude?

I live at the base of Pikes Peak and I want to hike Barr Trail to the Summit and back. Right now, I am training for the Bolder Boulder so I average about a four mile run a day with some hills and speed work. What else should I do to train for the great ascent? I have access to the YMCA.

I run because I enjoy it and to stay in shape for other sports I play. Usually I ran 1-5 miles. Now I am 17 so style of shoes always has been important to me, probably that's why I am a Nike fan (have Shox Turbo), but they are wearing out so I am
lookin for something new. Once I almost bought Nike Air Max 03, but all those great Asics, NB, etc. shoe reviews kinda talked me out of this idea. From those I prefer Asics, but I never had to deal with them so I dont know which ones would be better for me (they all look similar). another thing I am very worried about is cushioning, shock absorbing because i run mostly on hard surfaces.
Could you please share your opinion on which shoes should I get? are the air max 03 a good choice after all ?
thanks
and please don't suggest to go to the running store or somethin cause where I live we dont have one, and when I am gonna buy the shoes I would do that on the internet(eBay) cause shoes are way cheaper there than in our local stores.

I am a male sophomore in high school. I have run both track and cross country since 7th grade, but i've never run the 3200.
My best 5k time is 18:34 and my best 1500 time is 5:14.

This season so far in track, i have only run the 400m and the 4x400. My coach (who is also my xc coach) told me he wants me to run the 3200m on monday because he knows i can do it, but i dont think i have the endurance built up yet because i have been training for the 400m.

Is there anything i can do tomarrow (the day before the race) to prepare for it?

Thanks for your time and help

ok so, i think i might have either pulled a tendon or brused the bone in my leg. i run about three times a week so i can improve my speed for next year and to keep in shape for basketball, lacrosse and volleyball. i know it really helps me, but the more i run the more it hurts, now it is even starting to hurt after my lacrosse games - any advice?

I have to run the 200 meter dash today at 10:30 for a competition and i was wondering how should i run it without getting tired at the end? I always expell most of my energy at the beginning and sprint supper fast, but then when it gets to the finish i die off and dont end up sprinting. Which i know i should sprint the end. So if u have any tips it would be great!!

i have been training heavy, every day, for half a year now, and i've never taken a break. if i do, it's just 1 rest day. but i figured i was overtraining, so i took 7 days off with no running. so i started to train yesterday, but after about 4 minutes, i had to stop! my legs felt like they were heavy as rocks, my knees hurt, and my feet felt like they were being crushed! my legs were just throbbing with pain, and when i ran, i felt like i had the worst stride in the world. you would think that i would recover after A WEEK OFF but i felt worse after that rest than i did when i was training! what the crap!?? help me!
