Too much long running?

Answered by a doctor

Twinges in my right hip, what do i do?

It started one day last week when I didn't warm up AT ALL before heading out. A twinge in my right leg that went all the way up to my hip. Ever since then I have made sure to warm up but for the first two minutes I have super twinges in my right hip. It's not the muscle, but seems to be the joint...

How do i know if i need new running shoes?

Answered by a doctor

How do I know when I need new shoes if I haven't been keeping up with their mileage? I think I got them about a year ago, I remember taking Avery in her infant carseat while I was shopping. But up until about 4 months ago my mileage wasn't very much at all. What are signs of needing new...

Running on your own/secluded trails.

Answered by a doctor

One of my routes takes me through a valley (county park) and basically it's all on twisty trails, and not very out in the open. Today for no apparant reason (aside from maybe the sun was on the horizon and I was scared it was going to get dark) I was freaking out and kept checking behind me about...

How to keep myself from slacking off?

Thursday was a planned off day. Friday, it was raining outside and I was tired, so in a semi-conscious state I reset my alarm for 9:30 instead of the 7:00 to run. Snooze buttons aren't a problem for me. I end up turning off the alarm or waking up just enough to set it for an hour later. Last night I...

What are your experiences with pedometers?

Just wondering if anyone has run with a pedometer? I'm considering getting one because I tend to have a few 'set' trail stretches that I run and... well... I'd like to start keeping track of the distances. (They're technically bridle trails, so they don't have mile markers along the path.) In the...

Ultra runner told me that it would be a good idea to walk the first mile

I was talking to an ultra runner yesterday about my upcoming marathon. The Marine Corps Marathon course has changed a little and this year the first 2.5 miles are pretty much up hill. I don't have any problem with hills because I incorporate them into my training all the time. However, my friend...

How to stop getting shin splints?

So I'm back to running 3-4 times a week (about an hour a session). I've even started to mix in some biking and swimming. The pounds are coming back off.... But once again I'm being plagued with shin splints. My runs are easy....primarily staying in the 60%-70% MHR range.....so half my time is...

What kinda running log do you keep?

Answered by a doctor

I've been keeping a running log for about a year and a half now. I keep my running miles and my walking miles seperate. I don't walk often but some days :shrug: Do you all keep them separate? I also do not count the walking miles on my shoes. Just curious to know what everyone else does.
