How do i identify an injury?

I realize the best way to be absolutely sure about an injury it to consult a health care professional. I'm a medical student and probably know a little more about injuries than the average Joe. But I'm working on refining my skills - mostly by identifying my own injuries! I don't have any...

Why am i having breathing problems while someone is running beside me?

Do I have to do legs if I run enough?

I have always loved weightlifting. However, I hate the extreme soreness that follows leg day. Now that I'm also an avid runner I hate it even more. Is there some point where you can say, OK I run x# of miles a week so I don't do legs anymore? I've read a few of the posts here and I'm almost...

After two weeks of sick kids and sick me I can't find the motivation to get on the treadmill again. I ran outside once in that time but my chances to get outside is limited to weekends so I need to drag my butt onto that TM soon. On a good note, I did sign up for my 1st 5k in October. You would...
