Any helpfull ideas for running in the morning in the fall?

Hello Everyone,

I started running again after a break of 1 year because of a knee injury, and it goes pretty good I can say.

Normally I run 3 times a week in the morning at 06:45.

Some of you MUST have the experience of keep on running at this crazy time when it is dark outside, it is cold and it is raining...

Keep me on track and give me some tips please?

Thanks a lot!!

What is happening to my toes?? :(

August 12 was my first day of running and have absolutely been hooked since, but I need help before I lose all my toe nails. My new shoes and socks aren't doing the trick. My son-in-law told me to run heal/toe. This makes my strides longer and works well, but when I get about 5 miles into my run I can tell my form changes to smaller strides. Can anyone help me in advising what I am doing wrong or how I can change whatever is not working for my toes or is this just normal??! Thanks for your help!

Help! Did anyone else have shin splints in W1?

Hi all, after reading all your inspirational words I decided to take the plunge and started week one on 17th Sept. Being a non runner who could not jog for more than a few minutes this is a big challenge. Week one went well but I already have sore shins? Must be my lack of running fitness! Will this go away as I get fitter or will it just get worse?. I have started the excercises suggested to avoid them but is it already too late? Will better shoes help? Just using my old ones but maybe need to invest in something better.Any suggestions from any newbies that have had the same problem would be greatly appreciated!
