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.

its very good... Becareful tho.. Marathons put alot of wear and tear on a body/ joint that may still be developing

Now I can - I had never run before this year and I joined a group called Team In Training - they actually train you to run in a marathon within a few months time.  It's a set regimen and they build you up to running slowly.  \n\nI'm not professing to be a fast runner - purpose of our training was endurance not speed.  Still, it was a great program.

Catch a slow running track runner,knock him out and take them.Is that cheap enough?  LOL.

Long distance running.

I like to run sometimes, but I have never ran a race or anything, but I'm trying to increase my distance.  What works for me is increasing it one minute each day.  It seems to work.

I know after you run, you are supposed to walk a 'cool down' lap or fourth mile, just walking, to relax the muscles. Spurs and charlie horses aren't fun, let me tell you!!!

I, like my Grandfather, am a distance runner. He was much more talented than I. Sometimes in a long distance race, I will think of him and he lifts my head and posture, my breathing improves and my legs skim the ground lighter. I do not call upon him often though and am grateful for his presence. I do a lot of trail races and he seems to prefer to help me in open meadows when the sun is really beating down. I wear one his old gold medals from the 1920's the day before a important race to center me.

Within the next two years, I would like to get under 24:00 for the 5k. I think this is do able.\n\nI would love to do an Ironman too. I KNOW I could finish. I know it. It is the training that would get me. Where to find&#92;make the time...Again, do able, just a logistical problem.\n\nI would also like to make it to the Boston Marathon. this goal causes me pain sometimes, because it seems so impossible and can I be okay not making it there? Will I still believe I have value as a runner if I never make it there? First , I have to get older, so the standard becomes slower, and I have to continue to improve...heavy, heavy sigh. Do able? Not so confident here.

I try to get relaxed before a race, but "Born to Run" is good for runners who like to get pumped before a race.  Also, nearly any ridiculous 80's rock ballad (like Journey's "Don't Stop Believing") are good for listening to while you're running to keep you going.

Been there, done that ( a few times). You just have to get back on the horse and do it again. I let myself slip back into old eating habits and quit running. I decided in January to get back in shape (yet again), and signed up to run a half-marathon. It was hard, but the race is this weekend, and have lost over thirty pounds and I am fit and happy again ( and only about 10 pounds away from my goal weight, which will be the least I have been in over 20 years)

Yes I really wish they would get us a catagory...We compete just as hard as any other sport does, whether it be in a marathon or a 10k or in the 100m. I've been looking around and answering whatever questions other runners have to help out, but we really need a catagory. They have all these obscure catagories (darts?????? dozens of different types of soccer???) but no running, which is the basis of almost every single sport. I'm going to email them asking them if they could add a running catagory...

man im a runner myself and i dont watch coverage of televised running events\n\nrunning is not a spectator sport, most runners would rather run themselves than watch someone else do it\n\nthe whole challenge of running is invisible because it lies in the individual runner's body and mind and it can't be broadcast or conveyed via television\n\nfinally, i loathe events where speed is considered somethign of value\n\ndont show me on the tv the elite guy who gets paid by new balance to train 8 hours a day so he can hit the 2:06 mark, show me the dad with four kids, a 50 hour a week job who coaches little league and still finds the strength in himself to be able to complete a marathon in under 5 hours, THAT GUY, is the real athelete and hero to me\n\nhaha\n\ngood luck getting it on t.v.

Hi, That's what i ask myself all the time. here is what a few of  us do. A small group of us write RUNNING: then ask the question here in other sports. We answer eachothers stuff pretty regularly too, it's great. We also ask this question in the YAHOO ANSWERS category , hoping they will notice and add the category. Start doing this with us and you will get answers. it is just easier to find our running questions this way....

THAT RUNNING IS BAD FOR YOU. I get so sick and tired of people telling me this, really. I am in the best shape of my life, I can point out major news articles and research about the long and short term benefits of running, mentally and physically.\n\nI get so sick of people saying I'll get arthritis of the knees when the NUMBER 1 risk factor for that is being overweight.
