Wow, that sounds like a really tough run! I bet the scenery helped ease the pain a little?

I used to run to a place called the Cataract Gorge in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. It was about 30min from where i lived, but on a long run just running through there would refresh me for my retur ...

I usually stretch before and after an interval workout, and also before and after competing - i find my competition times are better after stretching. I always do a small warmup (about 10min) before h ...

Most of the time (if i am still able) i will kick towards the end of the race. From a physiological perspective, what happens is that you run at or near to your anaerobic threshold for most of the rac ...

I have never ran a mile on the track, but my quickest 1500m time is 4:30, so i guess i would have run about 4:50 for a mile. I think my quickest xc mile was about 5:17 as a junior, but i haven't raced ...

Does anyone know of an easy way / or product that allows you to carry water with you on a long run? I do a lot of running through the bush, and sometimes on really hot days i get very thirsty with no ...

When i was younger and competing in a cross country race, i tried to outsprint an older girl to the finish line. Unfortunately i didn't see a tree branch sticking out, and my foot got snagged on it. T ...

1. I have to agree with the chatty competitors being extremely annoying. I once had a guy run beside me for a half marathon and just didn't shut up for the whole way - despite me hardly saying a word ...

A friend of my was stopped by the police one night. He was not a runner, and was only trying to get home from around the corner. The cop asked him why he was running, and he replied "Because it's bloo ...

Indoor times are slower than outdoor times due to the size of the track - i.e. usually 200m. The problem arises on the bends. Because the track is so narrow, the bends are made more acute. This is why ...

I have washed my shoes a few times, and found that they go sort of hard and stiff, and are tight when you put them on again, but seem to be ok again after a few runs. Another suggestion is to soak the ...

I used to run past this old guy quite regularly who looked about 120. He would shuffle along very slowly half bent over. I always thought he was trying to talk to me as i ran past him, but he was neve ...

One of the most annoying things that happen to me while out running is young punks yelling out "run Forest, run" in that goofy fashion just like in the movie Forest Gump. This ever happen to anyone?

It is fun to outrun bicyclists, but i also find that i cannot let another runner pass me while out on a slow training run. Quite often i will increase my pace to near race pace just to outdo another g ...
