- Beat The Heat
By: fin2000 | - When it's hot, I drink at least two more cups of water than usual, says marathon runner Robert McLane. If you're going out early, hydrate throughout the day before, says Aaron Runyon. The rule of thumb is to aim for 500ml to one litre of fluid per hour of exercise, or 100ml to 200ml every 15 to 20 minutes. Make sure you hydrate with fluids containing electrolytes since you will be sweating a lot of salt out. Look for a drink that contains 25 to 50 grams of carbs, 23 ...

By: Tariq Ghazi | - To establish a running base is for a starter who is training for a half-marathon, the biggest element.

- 101 Year Old Marathon Runner
By: Gary Cooper | - Many times throughout the days of a running-runner that runs, they're on occasion asked this simple question. What type of a runner are you?

First I want to begin by process of elimination the kinds of runners we won't talk about. To begin with we have the trail-runner. There is nothing any bett ...

- How A Treadmill Workout Can Help You Gain A Competitive Advantage In A Marathon

By: Curt Shryack | - There seems to be so many theories about long runs during marathon training. How often should you run? How far to run? How many long runs? How fast? It is my turn to give some opinions and theories about this topic.
I believe that building mileage for a marathon is the biggest robber of performance. Training for weeks and weeks plus adding mileage leaves a person worn out. Weeks and weeks of long runs add to this exhaustion.
I consider a long run to be over 15 miles ...

By: Birdie Jaworski | - I ran the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon. I ran it with my newly adult son, 18. I ran it because prom night was the night before and he didn't attend, didn't take a girl, didn't take a boy. I live in So Cal, but my town grows red, grows conservative children, and my son isn't entirely welcome. He skipped prom, chose to stay home, and when I understood this, I paid one hundred twenty dollars each for our privilege of pain.
