I just run my first half marathon. It took 2hr which was 15minutes slower than I did 13miles in training 2 weeks before. Naturally I was disapointed, but I put it down to the fact it was all on concrete (I have never run on concrete before

Apparently, if you run on concrete(the road) then it effects your insides when you get older. This might just be for women or men and women but i was just wondering if anyone else had heard about this?L8n heard about joint problems with to much

loads easier on my shins, but as people have said, not exactly the most thrilling exercise in the world.  The one thing I have noticed running outside is that it's much, much easier running on asphalt paths rather than concrete pavement - keep your eyes

Hi,I have recently started running, and my prefered route is along the thames tow-path. Unfortunately although I enjoy the route there are large sections of concrete to run across which causes pain in my shins after running sometimes.I was wondering

couple of days they tighten up so much by the time I come to run again it feels like I have two concrete blocks on the back of my legs. It then takes half my run to get them loosened up.  I run between 3-4 miles 3 times a week.  I have a 5 minute brisk

then suddenly giving them a 9k whacking on a solid surface would be similar to a beginner running 9k from scratch.(Well, not quite, but almost).Try cutting right back on the miles you do on the (hard) road, and build back up gradually. Concrete is the worst

I entered and ran the Amsterdam half (20th.oct )for the first time. I had thought that being flat would see me with a PB but the more I ran I realised that almost all the course was concrete based. They have very little grass (Plenty to smoke

Geeezzzzzuussssss!!!Has anyone tried washing up a bowl of dried on weetabix..???The stuff sets harder than flipping concrete... *goes in search of a nuke....* Only once DV. Then I learned to either wash it up straight away or put some water

on the road rather than the pavement - tarmac is very slightly more forgiving than concrete - and saves the constant up and down of kerbs and driveways. Grassland isn't necessarily much better for your ankles and knees unless you can guarantee it's flat
