Of course you will be faster. Imagine running with a 10 pound weight, then taking off that weight. Losing excess fat and reducing your weight means less that your body has to carry around getting...

What's your current mile time? How long have you been running?

Just for reference, it took me about a year and a half of running, and running about 40-50 miles/week when I broke 5 minutes.

As...

Don't do it if you don't have to. There just isn't any point, and all it will do is make you more susceptible to injury. Run hills if you want to add resistance to your run.


I lift heavy,...

Treadmill is fine if you don't mind the monotony. I can't stand it personally. I wouldn't bother with inclines.

As for training programs, I wouldn't recommend running every day if you're just...

General rule of thumb is for every pound you lose, it will shave 2 seconds off your time per mile (For example, losing ten pounds off for a five mile will shave ~ 100 seconds off).

Just keep...

Walk on your heels, or alternatively, toe lifts/toe tapping. Do this every day. Ice them after a run.

Make sure you are replacing your shoes every 300-500 miles. If it's hurting really bad, you...

True... still disappointing how much slower I am now than I used to be though, even if my goals have changed and I no longer race.

Running 10 miles over rolling terrain... feels good

Seeing my time at a 10 minute pace... not so good

I agree with you, but I don't really see this necessarily as a BAD thing. Yes, a lot of people join because they have no other options. However, that doesn't necessarily make the military a bad...

I love getting lost on my runs :)

How do people fit in leg day into their running schedule? I'm never sure when to do leg day so that it would hurt my runs the least (For reference I usually go...

Anyone in the Columbus/Ft. Benning area?

If you can run 1.5 miles in 9 minutes, you can run 3 miles. Trust me. If at any time you feel like you need to walk, then slow the pace down; you're running too fast. Simple as that.

I can...

Wrong. Running is perfectly fine to build endurance for soccer, considering the fact that soccer is a running intensive sport.

Run at least 3 times a week. At least one of them should be a longer,...

You can run through shin splints. It hurts but it won't slow you down. We had guys that had stress fractures and still graduated (Ranger selection). They just never told anyone and ran through the...

You say you have basketball experience, then why do you need to practice flopping? You should be a pro at that already.

Speaking from experience, guys that talk the most about how badass they are, are the ones that wash out the most. Suffice it to say, your ego's bigger than your heart.

* Wash all my acus with nametapes still on crew*

No one cab recommend you a good pair because it differs depending on how you run, your feet, and how it feels to you. Honestly the best thing to do is to find a local specialty running store and have...

Maybe she thinks all the time she spends typing up these long blogs on why she can't lose weight counts as exercise.

Well if you're in somewhat decent shape I'd alternate, long run followed by interval run the following day. Switch off every day (Or every other day, depending on how much you're planning on...
