Over the road truck driver & new to running

guest — Mon, 06 May 2013 04:53:07 GMT

I started running 3 times a week in November and ran my first 5k in April. I have my next one May 25 & I'm starting to train for a 10k. I love what running has done for me physically and mentally but still struggle staying motivated and welcome any tips to keep things fresh and exciting.

the pact

here it is, the ultra marathon pact. 2015 should be long enough to work yourselves up to the mega distance. what do you think, if you want to run an ultra marathon but feel like waiting until you're older and whatever other excuse you want, here's the pact. i was originally thinking of it being for the "youth runners" but if there are any other lurkers in here who are willing to wait 13 years for an ultra, go right ahead if you're serious about it, sign up.

A NEW; INNOVATIVE Foot Orthotic::VMS-ONE::the new generation

guest — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:15:04 GMT

I encourage all of you runner's and actvie people to take a look at these and seriously consider trying them. I am a 5-6 day a week gym rat and I love doing HIIT (high Intensity Interval Training). I have mild-medium pronation, nothing serious, but still enough to be a bother. I started wearing these and it's been amazing. It covers ALL FOUR arches of your foot making you hit the ground with an even foundation. It's not like most people think when it comes to foot orthotics. Most people think of an orthotic being for old people and for those with severe problems. Not anymore. These are for everyone and for everyday walking. They do however help with MANY foor problems...pronation, supination, PLANTAR FASCIITIS, neuromas, etc. Check ou vms-one.com for more details.

hello, i have muscular dystrophy which makes simple tasks like walking...difficult (running is a goal im working towards). my only problem is that i know next to nothing about how to exercise my calf muscles or the muscle in front of my calf, which is where it really has affected me. so can someone give me any advice on how best to strengthen my lower leg muscles?

Listen to Music While Running?

guest — Wed, 10 May 2006 05:16:00 GMT

I don't, and don't think I'd like to cause I'm distracted easily and would get hit by a car or something. But I like "singing" either out loud or in my head, or humming while I run. I talk to myself too, or make up stories. Anyone else do that? And/or what do you like to listen to when you run? why?
