persistent Achilles trouble, the pain started nearly three months ago

A little more than two months ago, I began having trouble with my achilles. I've been a runner for five years, and during that time, I've had the occasional ache, but at only 29 my pains usually subside within a few days. Not so was the case with my achilles. The pain started nearly three months...

Do you listen what your body tells you?

My boyfriend is crazy! He’s a runner and I think that’s great but the problem is that he exhausts himself. I’m worried because he never misses his training no matter how bad he feels. He also never misses his training even if the weather is very bad. Sometimes he gets home...

How do you establish a long run once a week?

Since starting back to running, I have just been trying to go a little farther every couple of runs. How do you establish a long run--like once a week? Do you just keep your other runs about the same, and build distance on that one day a week? Is there a certain weekly mileage I should be running...

Why do we run?

My wife is not in favor of running. She always has an argument that it is useless waste of time. Why running if nobody is chasing you? That is her reasoning. I tried to explain her but it was pointless. Then I started thinking, why do we run in the first place?

Highspeed treadmill training

Answered by a doctor

Is ANYONE onboard this forum regarded as an expert or "semi-expert" on the subject of run training on a treadmill? If so, I have a question. Why on Earth do I see PTs ("professional" trainers) doing "sprint" training on a treadmill running the belt at extremely fast...

Speed vs Distance

From a newbie/slow person. Please bear with me as I try to word this. I have read that there is a certain speed you run at at which your body is most effective. So, since I can't sustain that speed for very long is it better to: Run what I can at my pace and go farther? Run a shorter...
