Why does my heel hurt in the early AM?

For the last few weeks, I've had a problem with heel pain right when I get out of bed. The pain diminishes the longer I've been awake and it doesn't bother me at all when I run/ride/lift. Should I be concerned?

how long should my long run be?

I remember reading the figure somewhere that my long run should be 30% longer than my average. Is this right? I'm running by time and not distance at the moment, since I just started running again this week after layoff of several months. During the week I run for 20 minutes, so should I run for...

What animals do you see while running?

Answered by a doctor

This morning when I was out riding, I saw I fox dart across the street when the fox spotted me. He was definitely lost, our area is very heavily populated. I was wondering where he came from. What other strange animals have you seen while you were out and about?

Why track your splits?

I've debated on upgrading my current watch to one that has a 50 or 100 lap/split memory but what's the point? The only time I worry about my split is on my weekend long run when I try to run the second mile loop faster than I ran the first (and the same) 7 mile loop. Who tracks splits and why? Do...
