Road Runners

Yeah, hate them too! They can annoy the heck out of you on warm summer days. Our environments here are all wetlands and channels. As a vegetarian I use to joke ot myself eveyr time I swallow one that it is physically impossible to be a vegan r...

hmmm maybe just run as long as you can at same pace..then increase it by half mile weekly until u can sustain a long run for same pace...i know how much u hate speed work and that could be a better option :)

I prefer morings at around 9am as I feel most awake and rested by then. Unfortunuately my boss wants me in the office by then... so I run whenever I have the time, if I am feeling up to it really late at night 10pm o...

I really like the early mornings best because of the traffic and heat in the summer.  It the winter.......it is rare, yet wonderful when I can run when the sun is shining.  I'll deal with the traffic.  I like late ni...

I'm a contemplative runner, so at the sunset, 4 to 5 pm during winter and 7 to 8h30 during summer. I'm lucky to live near the river and I can run thru parks and avoid car traffics.

My preference is between 4 and 7pm. Downside: is the traffic because they are racing to get home from work, they drive a bit crazy. Upside:  It is a great way to release the day's work load, stressers and what have y...

Personal preference 

morning or evenings, less people/cars to get in the way...

Personally I like early mornings, less traffic

in road running.. what part of the day is the best time to run on road? and why?

http://runkeeper.com  If you like to run with some type of tracker you might like this one.  I use Runkeeper and it has some nice, free (did I mention..."FREE!!!!"?) training programs. That's what got me thinking about giving the sub 4 a shot...

Thanks Eddie! I run pretty much every day and the distances vary but I never run less than 3 (6 being my average mileage on run). To me, it used to only matter how far I run, not caring about speed. But I've signed myself up for a half marathon in...

Thank you all for the great advice!  I've been thinking about it and I'm wondering if it might have something to do with my shoes.  I got new ones about 2 months ago and the first time I wobbled was just after I got...

Agree totally with seeing a physio and getting an opinion. Might also be  worth checking out the discussion on the Stretching & Recovery Tribe, Jennifer - there's ankle strengthening exercises which could help. If yo...

I used to have this problem all the time, but I started working on exercises to strengthen calves and ankles and use a wobble board to improve balance so that I wouldn't turn on my ankle so much.  Now have now more p...

Thanks!  My shoes are only 2 months old and they were fitted at my running store so I don't think it's the shoes.  There is no swelling and it's not tender to the touch.  When I injured it a couple weeks ago I could...

I have had weal ankles for years and used to wear Mc David braces every time that I ran... not any more tho.... those were the BAD old days of Structured Shoes [spit - a curse on their padded heels!!].   Anyway...

My best advice is to go see a physio to see if there is any underlying problem with your ankle.  Taping or bracing won`t cure your ankle it will only mask any weakness and it probably won`t heal if you continue to ru...

About 2 weeks ago I rolled my ankle on a run.  I took several days off (reluctantly) and iced it and let it rest then started back up slowly.  I've been keeping it braced or taped while I run since it feels weak.  Not painful or uncomfortable, jus...

First off.....what's your deffinition of a "legit runner"?  

I like to run.....and I like to run long distances quite slowly.  I also like 10K's....a bit quicker.  I don't really care much about what the other runners around me are doing though....

Rachel, I suggest that in order to be more serious on your running matters, you should constantly do it on regular basis, say 8 miles alternate days per 2 to 3 weeks - a pace of your very own by maintaining consistency throughout the whole run, do...

I agree with Tony, I always find that training for a race makes me work harder.

It only has to be once in a while that you run together - hope it helps - Good luck with your running.

Thanks Tony! :) And to his credit, I told him not to wait for me because I want him to do his best and not let me slow him down...but maybe if he continues to be faster than me, I will be selfish one of these times and make that request (although...

maybe, just maybe you are also over thinking. Just go for a run and enjoy it - get the miles in your legs and have fun.

Also, ask your boyfriend to every now and then to be sociable and run WITH you not way out in front - that can be really demor...
