HI

Yes I have a desk job - and a try to do a bit of stretching but I guess I need to know how much is enough? I have never tried a sports massage no - I have heard they are good,

Hi 

I have been running since Sept 2012, I think I have done well as I am noty a long distance runner but I started off at half a mile and now I am up to 14 miles,

However I tend to get pain in my legs, sometimes this is in my calf muscle, or it can be under my patella finally it can be at the front of my leg muscle as it joins with my shin bone if you get where I mean,

I am having to slow down training but I am finding I can do one long run a week and then if i rest for 6 days I have no issue - however I am running the 2013 VLM and I really need to be running more not less - suggestions ?

HI

I have a place in the 2013 VLM, and I am not a long distance runner - in fact I am not a runner of any sort lol 

However I have been training hard and on Sunday I reached 14 miles in 2 hours 17mins - so my question is as a none long distance runner is this time okay ?

And also when I am in the marathon will it be okay to run and walk ?
