Looks pretty amazing but as a Scottish resident I'm more than a bit worried about the temperature in September in Arizona/Utah. No, summer temps are becoming a big problem while running here in New Mexico. It is very difficult for me to stay hydrated in 90-100F and not uncommon for me to...

I was out walk-jogging (coddling a sore knee) a couple days ago in my favorite running shoes (the original Nike Free 4.9) when I noticed that something was flapping behind my left foot. I was almost home and out of the rain, so I didn't stop to check it out until I opened the first floor door,...

Well, 16 years later, I'm still teaching pretty much the same ball/heel form. You see the same from Danny Dreyer (ChiRunning) and Nicholas Romanov (POSE Method). Big boost came to ball/heel running from Born to Run and Caballo Blanco (RIP). The halls of rec.running hold many memories. Now all...

Hope you all have a nice run today! Pushing 100F here during the day, but at dusk it's pleasant, and a dousing by the occasional sprinkler very refreshing. Nothing makes me laugh so much as dogs jumping back and forth across summer sprinklers! rms

Hi, someone knows a comfortable shoe like the old New Balance 860 "made in England" (soft as slippers)? Thank you

I've been jogging for about a month now and suddenly my knees are bothering me. I bought some new, fancy shoes, but the slight, nagging knee pains still persists while I'm running. Also, my new shoes seem to be aggrivating my supposedly healed ankle injury from several months ago. Are there...

After a couple of years, I have had a sudden onset of plantar fasciitis in my right foot. The cause is unknown as I have been walking with the same shoes regularly since December and have dropped quite a few pounds. The only thing I can think of is that I changed my route this past week to...

Just buy a Garmin GPS and it comes with a heart monitor they are fine and you know how far you ran. A long time runner should be able to tell there running pace with in seconds per mile. Deacon Mark Cleary Epiphany Roman Catholic Church "Beach Runner" wrote in message...

I am long distance runner of 37 years and about 75000 lifetime miles. I also ride a bike and that is my problem. Out riding exactly 26 day ago and hit an ice patch. Land on hip and long story, short broke at hip top of femur. It was not displaced and had surgery the next day 3 screws pinned. Dr...

This article isn't about running per se, but it mentions running several times, and includes some thought-provoking, IMHO, ideas about alternatives to improving conditioning. A few quotes from the article: 1. "Back in the 1980s, Soviet scientists and coaches, Prof. Yuri Verkhoshansky among...

The fact that fat burn is maximized at a low heartrate does not mean energy is minimized, or even that carbohydrate is minimized. In fact, at the HRmaxfatburn, carbohydrate is NOT minimized, but rather burned in approx a 50/50 ratio with fat, kcal-wise. I need to read these thru...

How does the Fitbit answer to training compare to iOS? (Apple Watch and iPhone). Thank You, DaveNotBob

INteresting article, thanks. Anyone do a New Year's run this year? I did a 50k fatass run, 6hrs flat. I'm a good 10lbs overweight, so can't complain. 32F, too cold to go shirtless :) rms
