Since you're basically starting out from scratch, 5-6 days per week is too much. You'll probably end up getting hurt if you try starting at that volume. However, 2 months is plenty of time to get...

We have them on the same road, about a quarter mile apart. Lowes at an intersection, HD a little further past. Used to have a Builders Square there on the same road another half mile past the HD,...

I agree, in fact planned run/walk intervals are a legitimate running strategy (the "Galloway Method").

Basically, what others have said. Running without injury takes discipline. You have to ease into it, don't do too much too soon. You see, the cardiovascular system improves much faster than the...

If you do decide to start running, don't just go out and run three miles your first day, you'll probably end up hurt. Start low and build up to it and you'll do fine. You see, your cardiovascular...

There is a small biomechanical difference, since on the treadmill you're basically bouncing in place and not propelling yourself forward. I agree with above, you'll get used to it in a week or two. ...

For general health, I'd try to build that up to 20 minutes a day. Better to go by time rather than distance, because your body doesn't know or care how much ground it's covered. If you're concerned...

I was going to suggest guitar. Those guys are always complaining how their fingers are too fat.

Sounds like a classic case of ITBS - Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Very common overuse injury, mainly caused by doing too much, too soon. You feel the pain in the knee, but the IT band runs the length...

Self regulating in that you'll be totally gassed and unable to push any harder. If you have a history of heart problems, have a cardiologist check you out and give you an okay before you exert...

Unless you're jacked up on speed or have some pre-existing medical condition that makes maximal-effort exercise hazardous for you to perform, then you can't do damage to yourself. The cardiovascular...

First of all, do not rely on age-based formulas or charts to determine your maximum heart rate. They are only useful for predicting trends in large populations and were never meant to be applied to...

Maybe the hooks are set too high? The bar in the rack should be at about mid-sternum height.

If you look at the numbers from this weightlifting standards page: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.htm

It shows that generally speaking, a lighter person will be able...

According to this page of weightlifting performance standards (http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.htm), neither an untrained individual nor a novice would be expected to...

I imagine things involving water, like swimming and water jogging and such. That's what I did when I hurt my achilles and couldn't run for awhile.

I didn't get this from the book, I found it in the SS FAQ (http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program). First day, you're supposed to start with an empty bar and do a set of 5 as a warm...

Do not rely on age-based formulas to determine your maximum heart rate. They are only useful for predicting trends in large populations and were never meant to be applied to an individual. Errors...

It's not a fun, "let's go watch Plan 9 from Outer Space at the midnight movies" cult, either. It's a creepy, "let's move to a compound in Guyana" cult.

The only elite barefoot runners I can think of off the top of my head are Bikila, who won the 1960 Olympic marathon barefoot, and Zola Budd, the runner who took out Mary Decker in the 3000m in the...
