I have noticed that during my runs my legs tire before my cardio does. My breathing is perfect i'm not gasping for air nor anything like that, except my legs are tired as fock. How should i go about this issue? Should i strength train, like squats dead lifts, and lunges or something? My leg's arent exactly skinny, but not bulging large neither. | ||

How far and how fast do you usually run compared to what you are capable of if you went all out? | ||

Sometimes I wonder if the effort of being fit is worth it though, the only thing I enjoy about the running is being alone with trees all around me and the feeling you get when you finish a really long run  Running not only keeps you fit, but it will help you get to sleep faster at night, it will make you more energetic when you wake up in the morning and it will improve your overall happiness! | ||

Right now it feels like it is the most limiting factor in how far and often I can run. http://www.bodyglide.com/ When running 15+ miles this is a must for myself and it works like magic. It is amazing. If they made a pool of the stuff and I could dip myself in it I would. It works for everything even blisters forming on different parts of your feet. Vaseline works well too and is cheaper, but it is messier and it doesn't work quite as well. If you have chaffing after 7 miles or so and you plan to go 9 then Vaseline will do fine, but you chafe after 7 and plan on going 15, then I would suggest ponying up the dough and getting some bodyglide. Sometimes, the problem can be that you have some underwear/shirts that cause more trouble than others! You can get bodyglide online (amazon?) or at your local running/fitness place usually. Good luck, chafing is the worst. | ||

So I am just going to make my own track and run my own marathon by myself, wish me luck. Any news on your marathon attempt?? Also, Horde, do you run any in the midwest at all? I'm doing 2 marathons this fall in that area and was wondering if you would suggest any of the races over the others since I am planning for next year! | ||

I think he means how fast do you run if you go out for a normal, easy jog. A training run if you will. Also, what kind of "tiredness" do you mean, as there are several different ways your legs can feel tired. They can be thick, sluggish and rubbery from lactic acid buildup, they can just feel dead, sometimes they just feel sore and fatigued, etc. etc. Also, do your legs feel this way immediately or does it set in at some point during the run. Also, a 5:30 mile and 7:00 shows that you have likely good speed but definitly aerobic underdevelopment. With a 5:30 mile your looking at something in the high 31/low32 department for a 5 mile race. This is by no means uncommon though, tons of high schoolers run times like 4:40 mile and then like 17:45 5k, when it should be more like low 16 for the 5K. | ||

Usually fatigue starts creeping on me after the 1st mile and then usually leaves after the 4th-5th mile and at that point it just becomes numb. Usually this would not be a problem if i ran super long distance, but most of my races are 8k's in college, and the fatigue doesn't leave till i'm around like 3.5miles into the race lol. The fatigue i'd describe as in tiredness mostly in my quads. | ||

But all the runs inbetween these 2 weeks I've been struggling even getting 1.5 miles. Last time I ran was 3-4 days ago and only got 1.5 miles. So, I don't know where the extra 2 miles came from tonight. lol Sometimes you just have those days where everything clicks. And they are awesome! | ||

Perhaps the 2 mile run 2 weeks ago really wore you out and forced you to step back which inadvertently allowed your body to recoup for 2 weeks and then have a great run. Way to go! | ||

Had trouble at mile 25 and if I can just avoid that I will save quite a bit of time, wish me luck! Best of luck man. Tear it up! | ||

I have a question! Is throwing up after a hard run a good sign or a bad one? | ||

I was pretty frustrated to find out they weren't posting results, the 3 years before that I ran with them they always posted results. I have a question! Is throwing up after a hard run a good sign or a bad one? Is that 1500 time a PR? Are you throwing up after every hard run? What is a hard run? Like a workout or a race? As long as you're not consistently vomiting after every run you're probably okay but you should try to figure out if there is something you ate/drank that didn't set right. | ||

I meant throwing up after races. I've only thrown up after a race a few times, the first time being late last year. After throwing up I feel much better than the 10 minutes before it. | ||

I don't know of any distance runners who puked consistently after races but I know of some (shorter) mid distance people who did. | ||
