I'm new to the whole dowloading music thing and am wondering, other than itunes, where do you download your music from? Is it free? if not, what does each download cost you? Thanks!!!

Re: NOT training for anything

Mostly for fitness. I try to run at least 20 miles per week and am shooting for closer to 25.

I am such a schedule oriented person that it's hard for me when I'm not following one. I should probably find a training program to follow even if I'm not training for an actual run. lol!

NOT training for anything

guest — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 00:10:00 GMT

I really don't enjoy races. I am too competitive and it leaves me feeling down on myself because mentally I feel like I should do better than my body will let me. It's the OCD in me. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|border=0!

Anyway, what kind of schedule do you have when you're NOT training for any type of race? How many miles do you do per week?

I actually just saw this race online today and am considering it. It's only about an hour from home, so it would be perfect.

Anyone out there doing the Neuse River Bridge 5/10k this weekend in New Bern? I'll be there for the 10k for the first time.

1/2 training and recovery

guest — Wed, 30 May 2007 22:52:00 GMT

Is anyone here training for a particular race w/ an existing injury?

I have been battling knee problems (ITBS in one knee, patellar tendonitis in the other) for about a month and they are finally getting better. Prior to developing the problems, I had registered and payed for a 1/2 in September and the (very expensive) hotel rooms. So in my mind, backing out is not an option. Getting better and training is the only solution.

Prior to my set back, I had logged in some 7-8-9 mile runs. That was about 2 months ago. I'm now at 2-3 miles 4 x's a week and working back up. What are the odds that I'll be ready in 12 weeks to do a 1/2? Not 'racing', just running. And I'm fully prepared to take regular walk breaks.

Thanks!

Patellar tracking problems

guest — Mon, 21 May 2007 21:33:00 GMT

I had assumed that I'd had ITBS but after some relearch, I'm thinking I may have patellar tracking problems. My knee hurts after 1-1.5 miles of running and feels like it's going to go out from under me at times. It hurts going up and down stairs and getting up and down out of my desk chair at work. It also pops when I extend it straight out.

What is the best treatment for this? Thanks!

Effects of Time off?

guest — Mon, 21 May 2007 17:05:00 GMT

I'm looking at possibly having to take quite a few weeks off due to an injury and am worried about how it will effect my ability to run the 1/2 I've registered for in September.

For those of you who have, whether out of choice or need, taken an extended time off from running, how did you find it effected your performance once you started back running? How much time did you take off?

Thanks everyone.
