Running Q: When I get the OK to start running again...

Answered by a doctor

...do I have to start back at the 10%/week increments? The doc gave me the OK to start w/1 mile per day for the first week (7 MPW) and 2 miles per day for the second week (14 MPW). Obviously I'd like to get back up to 45-50 MPW ASAP, but not at the risk of another stress fracture. Can I do 3...

Should i wear a fuel belt during a marathon?

Answered by a doctor

Ok, I realize I should have thought more about this but I've got a half tomorrow morning and it's going to be right around freezing. I don't normally wear a fuel belt unless it's over 80 degrees but I've also never raced 13.1 miles before. Should I go ahead and weigh myself down or just run it...

The best running routine

Answered by a doctor

Running is one of the most difficult activities that I’ve ever practiced! I’ve been trying to somehow adapt myself to it, but I can’t. I get tired after only a few minutes of moderate running. I admit that I’ve been inactive for the last few years, but this is a nightmare....

Heart Rate goes to high during running

Throw up after running a mile, should i worry ?

Answered by a doctor

I have run 10k few days ago. After the race I sat down to get some air and rest. After few minutes I felt nauseous and started to throw up. I felt very sick. I was afraid that I caught some disease or that I exhausted my body too much during the run. What do you think?

Do you think it’s possible to run with a backpack? I wouldn’t like to stop running during the winter and in order to be completely equipped for such an adventure I’ll have to bring another pair of running shoes and other things necessary for such an adventure. Are there special...

Why do my lungs hurt while running?

Answered by a doctor

I'm relatively new to running. I ran consistently for Rugby during the spring, but I took a few weeks off. I want to get back into it, but running has always been so painful, even before I started habitually running. My lungs hurt and it hurts to breath. I feel as if my legs can go forever but my...
