even more helpfull not sure about not stretching before a run ??? . Never stretch before you run. Most runners stretch before a run. This may partly explain the high injury rate from running. Muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues are more pliable the warmer they are. Before a run, your muscles aren't "cold", but they…

You might want to read the code of conduct too. I'm not sure that there's any rule against gently teasing rude, angry, pushy…

Funnily enough my Dad has exactly the same attitude towards his service medals. It's the same with holiday snaps, why? Why bother? "This is me and Doris outside the Taj Mahal" Fascinating you…
Yeah, I know the nights seem to be creeping in very quickly. I had to run on the road on the outskirts of the park last night, rather than actually in the park because it was getting quite dark. I like to get a mixture of road and grass/trail runs in, it helps me ward off shin splints, but that's not going to be easy…

Hi, First and foremost, may i wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. Secondly, i would really appreciate some advice on an ankle injury i have been suffering with for almost a year now. I am a PE Teacher (for my sins) and now, all the obese kids can run faster than me! In January 2012,…
Before I start, please forgive my self indulgence in writing this! Over the past 7 months I've managed to lose about 2 1/2 stone through a combination of exercise (mostly running) and healthier eating. Overall, I've not found it too hard - I'm enjoying my running and for most of the time it's not too painful to forgo sweet…
Hey guys, I'm in need of some advice. 4 weeks ago I was running with my friend and we stopped for a stretch at the 7 mile mark. I'd previously had problems with my calf muscle in my left leg, so I gave it a good stretch. Little did I know that I'd just pulled my adductor by doing just this! On we went for another 4 miles,…
