Running

I need everyones opinion... what brand of shoes do you prefer to run in? I have been using New Ballance and I like them but it is time for me to buy new ones and I would like to try another brand. What kind of shoes do you all prefer? Price is not an issue. You get what you pay for when it comes to shoes.

Thanks guys!

How can i have a good state of mind and let my mind overpower my body. I know there are points where you have to stop but how can i concentrate on something else? I love running, but the longer distances get to me while running.

I run cross country in the fall. I don't want to run track during the winter or spring. I know i will never be able to get myself to run on my own during this time, so, if i dont run at all from the end of october to the begining of june, is that going to affect how well i can run in cross country? I dont want to be so out of shape that it takes me forever to get back into shape and be able to run 3 miles agian. All of my team mates from cross country are doing indoor and outdoor track, when it comes around to cross country season, are they going to be so much better than me that i can barely keep up? thanks for the help to anyone that can help me!

I ran my first marathon last May. Everything was going well until about mile 20 when I developed bad cramps in my quads. I finished the race but lost a lot of time in the last 6 miles. Last week I ran my second one. I trained better this time, paced myself better, etc. but almost the exact same situation. I was right where I wanted to be at mile 20 and then about 20.5 miles in I got side stitches that I couldn't get rid of and again lost time in the last 6 miles for another disappointing finish. What should I do differently in training for my next one?

I have been running lately (following the couch to 5k program on coolrunning.com) and I am up to running for 25 mins at a time. When I get to about minute 10 or 11, I get horrible cramps in my lower abdominal area (almost pelvic). They are so bad that I get nauseas and feel like I have to throw up. I tried to "push through it" yesterday, and it did get better a bit, but it still hurt like crazy! I had to walk for a bit just to not throw up all over the place...

Anyone know why??? I have been working out for about 2 months now, and this has only been happening the past week!

Basically I started running, and stretch out a bit first, but the muscles around my shins (just generally the front of my lower legs) are really sore. Everything else is tip top, but I have no idea how to stretch out there.

Any advice?

When I run for a little while without stopping I begin to feel the area between my ankle and calf start to tighten alot. Like its on fire or somthing. When I stop it makes the pain even worse, but after a while it dulls down. I also have trouble keeping my ankles straight when I run and I somtimes twist it. I just wanted to know if this is normal. Thanks you~

last year when i did outdoor track i got really bad shin splints and it lasted for about 2 months. I am a key sprinter for my team and i am worried that I might get shin splints again for indoor track. Indoor track starts next week for me and i was wondering if there are any exercises i could start to do so I wont get shin splints.

I have never run one before. I jog 2-3 times a week on a treadmill and I can do 1.25 miles in 20 minutes. I would like to know if running a 5K this weekend is totally out of the question. I know it would take longer than an hour but I am not in this for the competition at this point. Thanks!

Hi, I have a question about running.

Whenever I run the mile at my middle school (which is weekly), afterwords I feel really sick and like I'm about to faint. This has never happened to me before this school year.

I run the mile in about 9 minutes, I eat breakfast beforehand, and I drink water. When I saw my doctor she said I was working myself to hard (I run the entire thing) but I dont think that's it.

What could it be?

Sorry if my question is confusing, but I was just wondering for relays does it matter where you place your fastest runner and the others? Some people say it's better to have the fastest last to catch up, some say to have them first for a head start, and some say 3rd for a lead. But in the end would the results actually change because the order you choose?

I joined my track team because i am pretty fast. My coach thinks I can be a track star. He thinks crosscountry is good training for track. He doesnt make us paricipate in the crosscountry races if we dont want to but he wants us to come to pracctice everyday. I dont have to come to practices during crosscountry season i could just wait until indoor track practice starts but he doesnt aprove of skiping crosscountry season. I do it and i can run 3 miles but i heard long distance training makes you lose speed. Is this true?? What should I do?

I run track(sprinter) for my highschool. Last year I began to have bad shin splints in both shins, mainly in the right one. I would get shooting pains even while I wasn't running. We have tough coaches so I always had to keep running and push through it. Shin splints would be no excuse to miss practice.

I trained over the summer and they went away for the most part. Conditioning has been going on for a few weeks now and they are back. I ice them all the time. About 2-3 times a day. It doesn't seem to help. Ocasionally they throb while I am sitting down.

Any suggestions about what I should do?

I am not sure what time I will do my mile. Maybe I'll go in a few minutes. Many are going to run at 11:11 since the date is 11/11. Run! Yay!

Hi!

I am 33 years old. Male. Not over weight.

I recenlty started to jog and can do that slowly for about 2 miles non-stop.

However, while I am running and get tired, negative thinking starts to come into my mind. For example, bad feelings about my daily life ,work and negative things which happend in the past.

I know this might sound strange, but it does happen to me.

How can I make myself actually enjoy the run more? What sould I "tell" myself during the run?
