My last run was...how was yours?

guest — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:00:07 GMT

My XC team has amazing coaching and I think that has a lot to do with my improvment. My goal at the moment is actualy quite a funny story. Me and a friend of mine are being totaly ignored by the varsity on our team, so we have made a pact to blow them out of the water this comming season. I'll keep you posted with how that goes, first meet in 3 weeks

12 isnt very high, I just got back from a running camp in Flagstaff that made me feel like a wimp because I wasnt over 15. I hit 12 probably 6 days a week, and the other day is never under 10. And since you asked, this will be my 2nd year in distance running

Another 12 miles today. I have been holding at 12 daily for quite a while now, and I feel like I'm starting to burn out. Spliting my milage into 2 runs a few days a week has helped, but this milage is wearing on me....

I Ran today.... Did You?

Thanks! I have been working my [hind-quarters] off for that time, my next step is to go sub 4:55

And Nice work with the headwind, I just ran a 400m ( one lap ) and I had a headwind for the entire race, however that works...I feel your pain, nature is evil sometimes

Starting C25k today, who wants to join in?

guest — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 05:11:33 GMT

I never really did the C25K thing, and I am not really eligable seeing as I am a Varsity cross-country runner with a 17:40 PR in the 5k, but what I am reading here is very inspiring, and I wish you all the best of luck!

I ran ONE mile today.....I know that isn't very far, but that was very hard for me and I am very proud of myself.....

Did I mention that that mile was in a track meet and it was a 4:56 mile? 3 SECOND PR!!!!!!!!!

Side cramps after a mile

guest — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 01:53:34 GMT

The best known cure, in my opinion, for a side stitch, is to put your hand on your head, and blow all your air out. Once you have done this, blow even more air out . Then when you inhale, try to do it smoothly and slowly. This is more of a quick-fix than prevention, and it isnt perfect, but it could help if you are in trouble.

Lakes of Love 4 miler! Runners needed!

I recently joined a club at my school in Santa Barbara CA that puts on a 4 mile race every year to benefit cancer research.It is a great race for a great cause, but it isn't getting nearly as many runners as it should. So if anyone reading this lives around Santa Barbara, go look this awesome race up on Active.com and lets show some enthusiasm!!!

Feet fell asleep while running! Why???

guest — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 03:33:21 GMT

The problem is with you warm up, if changing the order caused you feet to go to sleep that means you are not warming up enough to get the blood flowing. Also, you may consider tweaking your nutrition and hydration plans.

Its either that, or you have angered the running spirits by smack talking the run portion....
