Running

I've been running moderate to long distances since early 2005 and I've noticed that several pairs of my regular shoes no longer fit. I've also noticed that when I buy new shoes I've needed an 8 1/2 (used to be 7 1/2 - 8). I didn't pay much attention until I had to buy a size 9 last week! I'm way past the age where my feet should be growing. Could this be from running?

I used to be able to run for a long time without any problem. Months ago however, I had an injury to my knee and had surgery on it, leaving me to not running for a while. I began running recently and for some reason I cant run without being extremely tired and the front of my bottom legs get cramped. Anyone know what I could do about this?

Last week at states I ran a 20:22, but today at New Englands I ran a 21:25. The course was muddy and difficult and the weather was all of a whopping 20 degrees, but those things STILL doesn't seem like they were significant enough to make me run that crappy! A girl did fall right in front of me after about 200 meters and I think that might have messed with my stride, but could that really have that big an effect?

Hi guys i am currently training for a 1/2 marathon in March and i am training about 4-5 times a week and all of a sudden my right knee is giving me pain. It does not hurt when i run but afterwards it aches like mad and has started to wake me up in the night. I am taking brufen which does help to a point do you think i need to see the doc/physio or try wearing a support? cant stop training now as i am running in memory of my grandad who passed away recently and this is so important to me. Thanks in adavnce for your advice.

I used to run 3-5 miles, but stoped about 6 months ago after a foot injury, but it's now healed.

I've been running for just shy of 2 months. The longer I run, the worse my pace. Lately I've been jogging at a pathetic 12.75 or so pace (that usually includes 2 minutes of walking/5 minutes of running for 29-30 minutes).
I'm running outside so I am not running on flat land and I wonder if that is affecting my pace? It is so frustrating! I do cardio 3-4x a week, mixing running and time on the elliptical machine, but I am still just puttering along.

I would love to learn more about marathons...including the best venue to train for one, how to get started, what to expect, any advice, etc.
I am a cancer survivor, live close to Boston, and would love to make that a goal of mine in the upcomming future. Can you share your experience, story or link?
Thanks!!!!

regarding the power test for the police dept men have to do 1.5 miles in 13 min and women have to do 1.5 mile in 16 min. considering the general applicants have only been running for about 2 months purpose to only train for the exam. is it accurate to say that men are just generally faster runners?

At school we have this "12 Minuete run" thing. And you have to get as many laps as possible ( 1 lap = 10% )

But I can't run. I can run for like 5 minuets and then I pass out. even if I jog. One time I couldn't drink water cause I was so exausted from a fitness Test.

Problems:
Lose Breath
Get bad Craps. SO SO BAD.

My legs are fine they can go for hours. But I can't seem to run.
Are there any ways I can do something to prevent the problems from happening?

(This question may sound confusing for some of you- Sorry)

I'm awaiting a response to my London Marathon application. Assuming that I get accepted, do you have any advice, useful web links, etc. for a total novice with a reasonable level of CV fitness & stamina (13k in about 60 mins on treadmill)?

Thanks in advance for all sincere, polite replies. Bless you.

I run usually 5 days a week for 50 minutes, I feel relatively comfortable throughout the run except for a steepish hill but other than that I fell fine. I was told that when you are running you need to be feeling tired and you need to be pushing yourself constantly harder and harder to lose weight is this correct? should I be pushing myself harder?

Our gym teachers grade us based on how fast we can run and how well we are at sports. The standards are pretty much impossible for my friends and I to get A's on because we hate running long distances. every time i know were running the mile i feel like im gonna cry because she doesnt let us walk or she deducts points...

I'm a sophomore in high school and track conditioning is coming up soon. Indoor I do 50m and 4x2 and outdoor i do 100m and 4x1. So, I need to know ways that I could improve my running.

I don't have an accurate time because i hurt myself last season when I was wearing my new spikes, I was in first and I fell, broke my collar bone. Don't worry I was in first and I got up and didn't come in last. I felt bad for the guy who was last.

Anyway, if anybody knows any training procedures to increase my sprint time it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance/

What is more affective? Running for 15 minutes or jogging for an hour? Usually I run a 10 to 13 minute mile on the treadmill, but Im thinking that maybe i should be on the treadmill longer, and i would have to run slower to do so... should I?

btw... Im 14 yrs old, im 5'5" and I weigh 135 pounds. I want to lose 10 pounds.

I only started running this year (aged 38) and really enjoyed it and completed the great south run in Portsmouth UK at the end of October.(10 miles in 1hr 30min, o.k. no records broken here but it was fun!!) Should I aim to do maybe a half marathon before I try and do a full one?

Several months ago I started running on occasion with a neighbor. Since I have specific goals and am more motivated and push harder, I end up going out alone sometimes. My neighbor saw me out running alone one day and was very standoffish for several weeks. I decided to overlook the behavior, and she has been acting okay just in the past few days. Today, I ran alone again, and she seems hurt and upset. I know she is going through a tough depression, and I try to include her in my runs as my work schedule allows (she never initiates the runs). I'm about to give up trying to include her because the situation is draining me. Seriously, what would you do differently? I am curious to know what others (particularly those who are in similar situations) might do in this situation. Thanks. I now feel like a culprit whenever I go out to run alone!

If you press on a certain spot on my left shin, it hurts. I've gotten a bone scan and x-ray and I've been told I don't have a stress fracture. So, I'm guessing that I have shin splints. But, this has been going on for several months and I've heard shin splints are supposed to heal after a couple weeks with the proper treathment. I ice after every practice, use a compression sleeve occasionally, and stretch a lot before and after running.
Any ideas on what this is? And any tips to make it go away faster?

hi
my knees were a little achey, so i recently was fit for new running shoes (i apparantly overpronate) that supposedly would correct for overpronation. well, with the new shoes, my knees REALLY hurt -WAY more than they did when running in my old shoes -in fact, both knees hurt- while running and even after running. is this normal? is there a 'break-in' period when you switch to a stable shoe? how long is it? i thought the new more stable shoes woud reduce knee pain, but it has been just the opposite. should i just run through the pain, assuming it will get better eventually? wear knee braces? switch shoes (i would hate to do this -they cost a fortune and were fit by in a running store by someone who watched me run to judge my gait, so i assume they are right)? thanks for any and all help/advice! this has been really frustrating . . .

A few weeks ago I started running in the morning, which I've never actually done before, in order to lose a bit of weight. The only time I an really get myself to do the straight workout if in the early morning before school, but around my period I always get REALLY awful period-like cramps that basically immobilize me for a few minutes after I'm done.

I've read some people saying you should eat a few hours before you exercise in order to keep this from happening, but is there an alternative, since I don't have time in the afternoon t exercise (and now that I've got a routine I'm really paranoid I'll let myself slip if I change anything...)

Thanks.
