If you are on the run a lot, then stop in at a fruit stand. Fruit stands offer so many choices of healthy foods and good snacks you can eat on the run.\n\nSnack on baby carrots. The baby carrots, rich in beta-carotene, healthy sugars and healthy carbs, will also fill you up because of the high fiber content.\n\nOr, drink a ready-to-drink (RTD) protein shake. Myoplex, Muscle Milk, Micelle Edge are a few of the preferred brands of RTD protein shakes. Most of them have a high protein and low or moderate carb count. And, they are vitamin fortified, so you will get lots of energy.\n\nMake sure you are drinking plenty of water. Gastric hydration curbs appetite, keeping your body hydrated moisturizes your skin, aids in proper digestion, and regular hydration oxygenates you muscles.\n\nOr, grab a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole grain bread.\n\nCarry a bag with pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Pumpkin seeds are the most healthy and beneficial in human nutrition, due to the rich content of healthy oils. These oils moisturize your skin, lubricate your joints, assist in proper digestion, and are good source of B vitamins and lean protein. Sunflower seeds are a close 2nd.\n\nOr, carry a bag with walnuts or almonds. Walnuts are the king of healthful nuts and offer nutritional values similar to pumpkin seeds.\n\nBananas are extremely healthy for us, but, they don't travel well.\n\nHow about getting some fresh turkey from your local deli or health food store and putting a few slices on grain bread with some sun-dried tomatoes and one slice of cheese? Takes about 2 minutes. If you don't like cheese, then replace it with some avocado. Pour some olive oil on your plate and dip the sandwich in it as you eat. Olive oil is rich in omega oils.\n\nLet me know if you don't like any of these suggestions. I have tons of them.

It has a lot to do with your breathing (make sure you take deep enough breaths) and not stretching enough or eating too much before you run.

Run or other cardio and eat right. Eat enough, but no junk.

Start a running program (Couch to 5K is awesome on coolrunning.com), lift weights 2 or 3 times a week, and eat clean (lots of fruits and veggies and protein, avoid processed food and especially fast food).

If you run before work, it will make your day a whole lot better. Your body will release indorfins and they will make you happier throughout the day. Exercise always just makes you feel good, so I would deffinatly do it in the morning.

Running is good for you all around. You have to breath correctly while you run. If your not used to running I would start off jogging, or even a brisk walk. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Your lungs will do better over time. When I started running my chest would hurt more than my body.  It just took some time. I got better.

Try drinking a sports drink like gatorade when you are running for an hour or more.  You need to replenish your fluids and electrolytes, especially in the summer when you sweat more.

You may be pushing too hard. Do you eat before you run? That can be a factor as well

good for you! \n\nI would try each week to either add a little time to your runs (maybe 5 min more each week up to 45 min a run) or to increase the distance you cover in that 20 mins\n\nProvided you are watching your diet - lots of fruit, veges and water , cutting back on the sugars and fats you should start to see good results in about 6-8 weeks - good luck!

Pasta is good for energy ... when we were in the Army our drill sergeants use to give us aspirin too right before a big run ... it thins your blood just a little ... making it easier to flow ... I found it helps with that crazy pounding feeling you get after you run for a long time too ... just drink water with it ... good luck ... !

Well am a swimmer and have swam since i was little. I was always told to eat bananas, bagles, pasta, etc. All of those are good and help with your swimming. I knwo this isnt healthy but my coach always had me eat a choclate bar about 30 min before a race to give me energy, it helped alot!  Good Luck , oh by the way i would suggest not drinking pop the week before a swim meet or the day of one

first make sure you don't drink any fluids right before you run, and you need to set your pace with your breathing. If you breathe in thru your nose simultaneously while stepping with your right (or left) foot, then exhale thru your mouth at the same time your stepping with the other foot, after a little practice you'll be pain free in no time, and you'll find yourself running farther distances too. after your run it's good to take a few swallows of sugar water. Just plain ole water with plain ole sugar. Good luck with that.
