When is the best time to run?

Hello everyone, my name is Pascal. I have a few questions to ask if you guys and gals don't mind. A little backround first though... I used to be quite fit up until about 4 years ago. I met my current girlfriend and stoped playing soccer, running and just being active. I have put on a fair bit...

What do you think about my running plan?

Answered by a doctor

Hi all, this is my first post, so I thought i'd just introduce myself and give you some rough background info, before I tell you about my plans and ask for some help/suggestions :) I'm 22, and would say i'm not particularly 'fit'. I have never really participated in any kind of regular sporting...

Did anyone else change shoe size since starting to run?

Since I started running back in February my shoe size has gone up a 1/2 size and my feet have widened out from a D to a EE. Has anyone else had a similar experience or am I going through another growth spurt. (at 30 8O )

Why are my calves swollen?!

I don't know what in the world I have done to myself, but I can't hardly walk! My calf is swollen and extremely tender even to the touch! :| I haven't injured it running since I haven't run in a week. It's been killing me for 3 days now with not much relief. Hot showers seem to provide...

When you consistently train at a very slow speed for a long time do you lose speed?

When you consistently train at a very slow speed for a long time (like 9 minutes per mile and you are capable of doing 6 minutes per mile), do you actually lose speed? Or do you keep the same speed as you had before? I'm worried about this because I'm planning to do a ton of summer...

Does taking walk breaks during a run hindering my progress?

I was wondering if taking small walk breaks during my run (say 1-2 minutes long) is going to hinder my progress (getting more fit and firm)? If it's cool to do that, how often can I take these breaks? I'm not training for speed or anything, just wanting to get into good shape and maintain it. Do...
