marathon training advice needed for older runners

Answered by a doctor

I'm 71 and due to run my first marathon in April. I run quite slowly and have been managing just under 12 minute miles on my long runs. I have allowed 24 days between my longest scheduled training run and Marathon day itself. If I attempt 22 miles for my longest run it will take me well over 4 hrs...

Morning Running NOT to Burn Fat

Answered by a doctor

Hello, I'm thinking of starting running in the mornings, but not to burn fat, as I'm really skinny (~180 cm. and 62 kg.), but to increase endurance, strengthen legs. Is it a good idea? If it is, how many times a week I should do it? Thanks in advance.

Pain on outside edge of left foot, what is causing it?

Hi everyone, I've been running for about a year. I usually do 3-4 miles first thing in the morning. Over the past few weeks I started to get a pain on the outside of my left foot, not across from the arch, but right beneath my smallest toe. It definitely feels like I'm running on the bone...

Shin splints/aches in one leg only?

Hi all, hope this is in the right place. I'm desperate for advice at this point... First off, I fully believe what I'm experiencing in my lower right (and a bit outside) shin is a shin splint, though they feel practically fine an hour after running so perhaps I'm wrong? Quick profile: - I'm a...
