It’s extremely important for running, but unfortunately, a lot of people don’t put the effort in to seek out the best running shoes. This is a shame because running is a serious, high impact sport that puts lots of stress [...] For women, there is one item of clothing that is just as important as running shoes – the sports bra! Sports bras for running keep you comfortable during your run and in the long-term, help your breasts retain their shape. (There are ligaments in your breasts that give them their shape, and if they [...] It happens to all of us at one time or another.

There are some [...] While it might seem contrary to your need to get out there and keep training, one of the biggest things you can do to make sure you’re prepared for that big race is to make sure you’re sleeping right.

It’s also the key to long-term physical health. Those with more stamina are able to maintain an active exercise regimen, and they are able to stay in shaper longer. A healthy [...] Whether you’re new to running or have been doing so for some time, are you aware of a condition known as rhabdomyolysis? At its basic level it occurs when exertion results in injury to the muscle fibers causing them to release their contents into the bloodstream; they then travel throughout the body exerting a range [...] Editor’s Note: This story was submitted by an unnamed marathoner in the UK. I thought this was a great reminder of how marathon training goes in reality. Last year I was committed to do a marathon. No joke, I was completely up for it.
