As I am finishing up my first year of collegiate track I am looking for what I think is a greater challenge that any track race. The Marathon. I am a solid runner and have been for 7 years now and have actually placed in a Half-Marathon before (1 hr 26min 36sec). I know of at least one marathon neaby my hometown and plan on running it at the end of the summer and am going to try to run it as far under 3 hours as I can. I was wondering if any other runners who have ran a marathon or any coaches out there would have any suggestions for me as I train this summer. Suggestions about race strategy, hydration, and training tips are most appreciated. Thanks.

I have had shin splints since i was about 13 years old when i was playing multi sports. And they have not gone away. I even have bumps going up my shin. Can anyone suggest anything. I know people say its' certain shoes but i feel i have tried them all. The bumps are gross and it hurts extremely bad when i try to run distance.

I have severe pain on lateral side of my lower leg (below the knee) on walking and running. i do not have any blood flow problem. this pain is more after walking. I use Reebok Premier Road Plus III while running but it still pains and i cannot walk without pain after almost 7-8 minutes of walking. can it be due to over-pronation? can some one suggest how i will know whats wrong and what should i do? i dont have this pain on cycling or swimming and am sure that its due to some walking/running style of mine which may be defective. can some professional help?

I have shin splints, but I have a meet on tuesday. My legs are not bad enough that I can't run (I went to all my practices this week), but they hurt a lot. I really want to run at the meet, and I also want to do well. I already tried ice and pain killers. What can I do? Any certain stretches? Not running at the meet is not an option, but I am resting over the weekend and swimming on monday. Thankx.

I always seem to be nervous at the beginning of my races, be it a 5k or an 800m. This is my first year of track, i currently run the 800m. Yesterday I set my personal record of 2:19. Coming down 7 seconds from my old pr of 2:26. Now reflecting on it I think I could have done better if I wasn't so nervous. Any suggestions on how to deal with this nervousness?

After almost every race in meets, my hips hurt bad. It's right up front sort of below my hips, and I get really stiff, and can hardly lift my legs. I stretch a lot, maybe two or three times before each event, and once or twice after. I asked my coach about my warm up, and warm down, and he said i was doing every thing right, but why does it hurt so bad???

When running the four hundred, would it be fast and effective if you sprint the first two hundred, coast 100 (at about 85-90%), then sprint out the last one hundred, or should you try to just push it hard through out the entire race?

I have been running for years, but only short distances a couple times a week. I stretch religiously, because I'm prone to shin splints, and my runners are relatively new. Lately, my hams have been seizing up during the day after my run. I try to stretch it out, but it's fairly persistent. Why is this suddenly happening?

I have had my running shoes for about 6 months and i love them (they cured my shin splints!!). I have recently been running longer distances and I have been getting blisters on the inside arch on both of my feet and i have started getting a little bit of back pain (I'm assuming from pounding). Would new shoes help? Would I need shoes made for running longer distances?
P.S. I am running in Asics now.

I am just wondering what kind of diet i should follow while I am training for a 1/2 marathon. I am obviously running longer, harder and more frequently than normal. What kinds of foods should I focus on to keep my body healthy? Please be specific. Thanks
