My boyfriend is going to be in a race tomarrow morning. He has been working hard and is really looking forward to it. When I rode my first century he was like the coolest to me and I haven't forgotten that. Unfortunantly I can't be there, but any suggestions of something cool I can do for him?

I was wondering what exersizes / drills I could do to increase my overall sprint speed. I already have exellent endurance so that is not a problem I just want to be faster.

Please explain exersizes / drills because I have never been in organized sportsand have never trainded with a group of people. So I may not know what some names mean.

Also please do not offer any pills/suppliments or clothing that may enhance proformence. I am just interested in the physical things I can do to get faster.

Thank you in advance.

In 1999 I started wearing Nike Air Pegasus shoes. '99 model. They worked for me and were pretty inexpensive, so in College I bought ten pairs. Well, I just ran through the last pair. Literally thousands of miles later, I think I've become dependent on that mold of shoe. For the past 7 years or so they are all I wore for running and even after I couldn't use them for running I would use older pairs for just everyday walking around.
PROBLEM: Now I can't find a shoe that doesn't make the arch of my foot hurt. I get a sharp pain right on the top of my arch about 2-3 miles into a run almost every time.

I do have high arches, I think. Any advice? Anybody had a similar problem and found a solution?

This question is based on something I read in Men's Health recently, where the athletic person (an actor or something) on the cover said that he was very fit and had run a marathon without the usual training that runners go through. Naturally, I wonder how a person would do in the marathon, if they are very fit but did not do long-distance running training.

To use myself as an example, I play ice hockey 2x per week, interval training 2x per week, weight training 3x per week and 60 min. endurance training 2x per week (for example, eliptical machine at gym). Fitness testing revealed that I am in "elite" physical condition, using the V02-max standard.

I don't want to sound egotistical, I'm sure it would be difficult, especially the feet being unused to the constant pounding, but nonetheless I am intrigued (and crazy) enough to ponder the possibilities.

Have any readers out there in a similar position tried a marathon? How did it turn out? Thanks for any help you can give! :o)

im orginially a sprinter, but i decided to do distance for two weeks to improve my 400 time. Tommorow is time trials and im afraid that the distance has slowed my 100 time and that it hasnt helped my 400 time either. In distance, we have been doing interval training, 10 400s or 6 800s during our workouts with a easy day between workouts which involve a brisk jog. Can anyone tell me if distance workouts such as this influence my sprinting?

My first track meet is Monday, and I want to get as much practice in as possible. I was just wondering what to do. How much should I run? And what foods should I eat? And any tips to run better DURING the race? Thank you!

im in girls high school track and i was wondering on how i could improve. im not really good at sprinting or distance, but i practice with the distance girls- so i need to work on my stamina and endurance, but in meets i would like to run the 800 meters (still considered distance) and the 400m (kinda sprint)- so i need to work on my speed. I have practice 6 times a week and i was wondering if i could get some tips for improvement during, and after, practice so i could become a better runner and hopefully on varsity for next year.


oh-and does anybody have any suggestions for a "running diet"-thanks!

I was looking at the Zoom Miller XC, the GHAC XCs and Nike Free trainer 7.0s (These are all nike). I was going to start running again and I was looking into various shoes.

1. I was going to get a pair of Megabounce + from adidas or Nike 360s for long distant running on concrete. (<10 miles)

2. I like the zoom millers because nike says: " a science of tread design that lends traction on grass snow mud and loose terrain. " These are cross country shoes so I thought they would be useful to have as multipurpose because of the tread on the bottom is rubber but not spikes - I wanted a shoe that would be less inclined to get saturated with dirt like typical running shoes with their cloth lininig; I also wanted a shoe I could play a few casual sports games in- (its a little funny showing up to a game with cleats when it was only going to be light).

People say you can wear any shoe for whatever purpose; but I was trying to specialise the shoes I would to wear.

Hi, i heard that running flat-footed slows you down. Is this true? Also is there any way i can train myself so that when i am running, my feet land on my toes instead of on the balls of my feet? Thanks

I'm just signed up fpr track @ my school. I hate running. What are the best shoes for running? What is the best drink? How do you practice running? What kind of clothes would be best? How should I wear my hair? It is very hot where I live, so I'm not asking for fashion tips just what are best to run in.

Hello, I run the 400m open. I am 5'4'' and weigh 118 pounds. Yes I am pretty short and I also have short strides.
I was wondering,
Is it better to stretch for those extra inches when
running the 400m?
Or should I just have a comfortable stride and
focus more on sprinting?
Taking longer strides would mean slower leg cycles
and it also tires my legs too because I have to stretch.
Can anyone help?

When I am running say the 100 meters, I usually go the first 50 meters without taking any breaths while I breathe rather erratically during the latter parts of the race. I believe that this has an effect on my times as it gets to the point where I cannot run at full speed in the final ten or so meters.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can control this? Thanks.

I used to run competitively a lot. Lots. And then life intervened and I stopped altogether for 3 months. I always used to tell people, when I was sort of good, that speed did not matter, it's all the same distance, 13.1 miles is far no matter how fast you finish.Now, I live in a city where there is a fantastic half marathon a little over a month away. I know I can finish, but I will be very slow and it will be humbling. But life has been humbling( yet very good) for me anyway lately, and I think it will be good for me to do...agree?? or not.?
