How can i lose weight?

I suck at running. I just do. I play soccer and joined cross country (usually about 2-3 miles 3x/wk). I am 13, 8th grade, 5'6 and a ridiculous 150 lbs. I'm much worse than all my friends who eat and are active the same way i am but have trouble losing weight rather than gaining it. My diet is...

Problems with treadmill running

Answered by a doctor

How should i train for a triathlon?

In 20 days, I need to run fast after swimming 1500m, and cycling 40km. What do you think I should do? High mileage? Short fast runs? In training I can go about 11k long runs, just under 6:00/km. I can race sprint triathlons at 4:30/km.
