How much time you've been asked: Why do you run?

How much time you’ve been asked: Why do you run? People ask me that all the time and say it’s one of the most boring sports ever, because it’s very exhausting and they think there’s no concept in it. I don’t understand how they can’t see that it’s a very...

50k training plan

I'm running my one and only 50k in Mississippi but I need some guidance. I'm having a difficult time finding 50k training schedules. I'm thinking of modifying Galloway's "Marathon Guide" schedule since he has plans which go as far as 28 miles. Anyone used a 50k training plan or know of where I...

Is the heat affecting my heart rate while running?

Answered by a doctor

I've been running the last two days in the heat ( 70 degrees) which is quite a change from the 40-50 degree weather. The HR monitor seems to crank up about 10 beats more than my usual HR in the same setting. Is this the heat factor that I am not used to yet?

How fast should I run?

I want to start running. I don’t know the first thing about running. I mean, I know how to run. I learned that soon after I learned how to walk. But running as an athlete…that is something different. I don’t know how to train. How long and how fast should I run?

How to find new running areas and pick my distance?

Answered by a doctor

My mind is blank! I don’t have ideas on where to run and how to pick my distance. It’s so boring to go to the same park and run there again and again every day. What do you do about this? Sometimes I wish to sit in my car and drive out of the town in order to find a new route.

I need your help. Namely, I don’t have the habit of breakfasting and my mother has always been grumbling about that. It’s just that if I eat my breakfast, I’m, for a certain reason, hungry for the rest of the day. So I tend to avoid having breakfast. But, is it smart not to eat any...
