Subject: Runners of NS/Official Running Thread/Running Questions
About 2 months ago I started running very regularly, I got my body in the habit of running 4-5 days a week. Now I decided to take it a little further and go for a full Marathon. 2 months ago, my first time running in a long time I ran a mile with a 9'57 pace. A few days ago I ran 8 miles with a 9'34 pace.
Has anyone else tried this before?
Also, what are some of your favorite songs to listen to while running? I need to start expanding my playlist for these longer runs.
Also, if anyone else wants to join me, I'm shooting for an October marathon. Don't know where yet, but it seems like it will be kind of a big deal so I'd be willing to make a trip out of it. We could have a NS team.

I ran my first marathon back in November (Philadelphia). My first half was pretty much on pace with my goal (4 hours, which is 9:10 miles or so). My legs completely gave out between miles 19 and 22 though, and I lost half an hour trying to get them back into working order. I think my official finish time was 4 hours, 35 minutes or something like that. I used to run for my high school, and my mile was 4:53, but that was years ago.
Anyway, any questions or whatever feel free to PM me or whatnot. I think I'm doing the 20in24 race July 12th or so in Philly.

I am curious about this too. I need to get a new pair of running shoes. I have always bought Asics. I used to get nikes but they fell apart too easily. I switched to Asics, never gone back.

as for the barefoot option dont try starting out to quick otherwise your legs will most likely injured, you have to work your way into the barefoot shoes over time by alternating between them and other running shoes.
i love running though idk why but there is something fun about the pain and suffering. Im in track right now and got my mile time down to 4:39 and im hoping to make it to state this year!

when I ran track freshman year in highschool I ran a 5:29 mile. I dont remember the last time I ran, but I have a hard enough time getting myself to work out. maybe its time for a change.
with that said,

Barefoot is a good thing, but I would NOT recommend it to you right now. To be able to wear those barefoot shoes properly and without injuring yourself, you need to have proper stride efficiency, aka running mostly landing on your forefoot. the thing is, running at a pace under 7min/mile, it is easy to modify your technique so you can do so. At your pace, the impact you generate on your body is much more important because your rhythm isn't so «dynamic». I would suggest to you to stick with regular shoes or light trainers (which are like regular shoes, minus a bit of absorbant which makes them lighter, look up Asics ds-sky speed or speed star) until your first marathon. Then, if you like the experience and want to pursue running, you can go out and try some barefoot shoes.
Sparknotes: do not try barefoot shoes before achieving your marathon dream because it can really fuck you up if it's not done properly, and there's chances you won't be able to run your marathon.

ahh i miss running so much!! during the fall in the cross country season i think i got my 5k down to a 22:20ish. It was such a fun race because there were trenches of mud in the woods and girls would be falling face first.
Anyway Im thinking of getting a new pair of sneakers. I run with asics right now which are alright but i think i want to switch it up.

I'd be careful on those minimalist shoes, such as the nike frees. I got a stress fracture this year in cross country from regularly running in them. It was that year that i got 17:16 5k too, i was pretty mad afterwards, because of my stress fracture.
i run a 1:58 800M if that means anything to you. ahah

i personally would never buy the minimalist or barefoot design running shoe if you are going to be on pavement. i think they are meant for trail or grass running.
i've recently started working on distance running. i was a sprinter in high school so i never did anything long distance except for playing soccer. it seems pretty tough to train different muscles when you have been out of high school for 8-9 years.
I never had any real running shoes, but I recently bought Brooks Adrenaline shoes from theclymb. they are super comfortable and i felt great on the first run i did with them.
I still run, but the intensity and frequency of my workouts have diminished. Two torn ACL's later and my knee tends to swell up to the size of a large softball when I run over 3 or 4 miles. I can deal with it while I'm running, after though is a different story.

I have seen people run half marathons in those barefoot shoe things and saw a guy whose feet were bleeding after mile 7.
BAREFOOT SHOES ARE GARBAGE UNLESS YOU RUN UNDER 3 MILES!
That being said, go to a running store and ask them about what shoes to get for a marathon. The will do tests on your feet and find the perfect shoe. Dont be afraid to pay a $100 or so for your shoes because it is well worth it.

Ran 5k in 19:00 flat the other day. I was pretty happy with that, but also rugby season just started again and we do a ton of cardio in practice. I usually run like 5k 3-4 times a week and sometimes the best part of the day is my morning run.
ran the layton, UT marathon last fall, so damn fun and very obtainable. One thing i wish i had done differently is track my splits. I always just tracked my average miles from total times but when you hit mile 20 it's nice to know if you're pace is slowing or if you can slow down. I don't buy into all the barefoot hype. I read born to run like every other distance runner and I don't see how it advocates barefoot like everyone says. makes it seem like if you're a lanky ethopian running on grass you should barefoot and if you're a healthy weight american running on sidewalks you should wear shoes. I'm sworn by asics forever though, depending on your foot, they're worth checkin out.
I ran a 5k in 19:45 yesterday. First time I've done any distance running in a while so I'm happy with that

I've started running to get in shape for drum corps. I can sprint like a mofo but I'm absolutely terrible at distance running... Hoping to fix that by summer.
This may sound crazy but for you guys looking at buying new shoes, I would recommend gong to a professiional running store. Getting a running shoe is kinda like getting a ski boot, you want to get the one that fits you best especially if you are running long distances like a full or half marathon. Everybody hits the pavement differently and good running shoes are made for the different way that your foot hits. Also getting fitted into a good shoe helps with he lack of blisters you will get. For my first 5k run I went out and bought the shoes that looked cool to me, but I did not like them at all. When I started training for my first half I went and got fitted and he pair tht I got were socanies (I think that's how u spell it) an they fitted and felt great. They took all of my training and the race and still had some km left on them. Hope this helps !
I have them too.. they are super comfortable... but i think you must just keep in mind that you choose a pair with a quite thick sole otherwise it's bad for the knees....
also where i live they aren't available anymore... wanted to get a new pair..... sucks :(
these are trash, i highly suggest not buy them. they arent durable and only work as they are supposed to if you run under 3 miles
asics ftw

If you are just starting running do not buy barefoot shoes. Unless you are just going to be running on grass once or twice a week, barefoot running shoes are not a good idea for a beginner (or anybody training high mileage). The muscles in your feet and legs are not developed and if you are trying to train for a marathon, I can almost guarantee you will get injured. Especially if you plan on doing any running on hard surfaces. If you have any running specific stores around you, go over there and have them check out your foot and stride. The shoes will probably be more expensive there, but its good to get put in a shoe by people who know their stuff and then just buy in bulk online. A lot of times they'll have you run on a treadmill and film your foot strike.
Aside from that, respect for stepping up to such a big race. My words of advice would be to be very careful. Going from not running to a marathon can be pretty risky. Never jump up too much from week to week in terms of miles. A good rule of thumb is not to jump up more miles than days you ran the previous week. So if you ran all 7 days last week you could bump up 7 miles, but even that is pretty high. Last summer for example my plan was to do something like 65,70,70,75,75,80,85,85,85, and then hold from 90-100 miles a week till fall. Even being that gradual I still managed to get hurt, and I had been averaging about 75-80ish the previous 12 months.
Obviously, take anything anybody tells you with a big grain of salt. I mean I do a lot of serious training, but have never really put together that good of a career. And there's going to be a lot of bad info out there.
I can't wait to do a marathon, but I'm probably going to hold off until I'm about 26 when my body is ready to handle it. I've seen to many of my teammates try to jump right into marathons after college and destroy themselves and their running careers. And these guys were DIII national champs. That year our team would have placed top 25 at division I national champs in cross.
Aside from that, respect for stepping up to such a big race. My words of advice would be to be very careful. Going from not running to a marathon can be pretty risky. Never jump up too much from week to week in terms of miles. A good rule of thumb is not to jump up more miles than days you ran the previous week. So if you ran all 7 days last week you could bump up 7 miles, but even that is pretty high. Last summer for example my plan was to do something like 65,70,70,75,75,80,85,85,85, and then hold from 90-100 miles a week till fall. Even being that gradual I still managed to get hurt, and I had been averaging about 75-80ish the previous 12 months.
Obviously, take anything anybody tells you with a big grain of salt. I mean I do a lot of serious training, but have never really put together that good of a career. And there's going to be a lot of bad info out there.

anybody have any experience with compression calf sleeves? i'm a crossfit person but i do a lot of running and jumping and running in weighted vests and my calves hate me lately. waiting on a pair of sleeves to arrive today actually but i'm just wondering if anybody has tried them
sorry for double post, not too often there's a running thread on here. I invested in some "recovery socks" about a year ago and I really like them. After a 15+ miler on pavement your calves are pretty torn up. Wearing the recovery socks the rest of the day and overnight though really helps the blood keep moving, and by the next day you're definitely ahead of where you would have been otherwise. from Mar 30 2012 10:01:05:anybody have any experience with compression calf sleeves? i'm a crossfit person but i do a lot of running and jumping and running in weighted vests and my calves hate me lately. waiting on a pair of sleeves to arrive today actually but i'm just wondering if anybody has tried them

ran the layton, UT marathon last fall, so damn fun and very obtainable. One thing i wish i had done differently is track my splits. I always just tracked my average miles from total times but when you hit mile 20 it's nice to know if you're pace is slowing or if you can slow down. I don't buy into all the barefoot hype. I read born to run like every other distance runner and I don't see how it advocates barefoot like everyone says. makes it seem like if you're a lanky ethopian running on grass you should barefoot and if you're a healthy weight american running on sidewalks you should wear shoes. I'm sworn by asics forever though, depending on your foot, they're worth checkin out.

Park city of life. shootin people by day, skiing by night
fun fact about running I learnt today: in 1912 some japanese dude fainted during a marathon in sweden and some farm family found him and he was so ashamed he left the race without notifying anyone and was considered a missing person then like 54 years later they found him and called him up and asked him if he wanted to finish the race so it took him 54 years and something to finish a marathon and now that's the record.

I'm not exactly sure, it might have only been the second year they ran it but it was well done. We started towards the bottom of antelope island and ran just before dawn until mid morning across the causeway and into layton. it's definitely pretty small though, not even 1000 runners total which i liked
