I normally run in the evenings but have decided to run when I get up. Is it OK to run (10k) before breakfast or should I eat first? If so what is best?
Why Am I So Slow?
Why am I so slow? I am 27 and have recently taken up running about 5 months ago, running 2 to 3 times a week most weeks. I first began to train for a 5km run which I managed to do in about 32 minutes but can’t seem to get any faster.
Runners’ Tummy
Runner’s tummy is quite a common complaint with long distance training. I would recommend you ensure that you are eating a balanced diet and that you are not running too soon after meals

Running and Stitch pain 2
I started running about a month ago and can do about 15 minutes but have just started getting a stitch about 10 minutes into my run any ideas why, what can I do to prevent it, should I keep going and try and run it off?
Shin Pain 4

Running and Carrying Too Much Weight
I run at least 4 times a week ranging from 5k to 20k I have just completed my first Marathon but am still unable to lose any weight. I need food to fuel my runs and for the main part eat healthy but am stuck at 80kilos on a 5 7 in frame
Running and Stress Incontinence
It sounds like your friend has weakness of her pelvic floor muscles. There are some relatively simple exercises that she can do to improve her symptoms but I would recommend that she consults a physiotherapist that specialises in Women’s Health.
Tingling Hands and Arms
I have found that often, once I have been running for more than 15 minutes, I experience a tingling sensation in both hands and arms.Altering posture can sometimes help.
Weight Gain 2
I just recently started running around 10 miles per day and I am feeling great. I break up the run into two sessions: one in the morning and one in the evening. My appetite is enormous though and I am afraid I may be overeating.
Running and Weight Loss
I try to run at least 3 times a week covering a distance of at least 10k each time I run. I have lost a lot of weight before but now I can’t seem to lose any weight even though I am running and exercising loads more!
