  • Pain in inner thigh close to inner knee?

    Hi y'all!

    For the past few days I've been experiencing pain in my inner thigh/knee. It's been affecting my running. It'll hurt at the beginning then kinda go away. Then after an hour it'll come back. It feels kinda tense and sometimes there's a small limp when I walk.

    If I lift my leg up my knee and upper thigh feel heavy and hurt.

    If it helps I also have a lot of more muscle on my outer thighs vs inner

    Thanks in advance !

  • A bit confused on eating before a run/workout?

    Hey! So when I ask what I should eat before a morning run I usually get simple things like one egg with a piece of toast or a banana and a cereal bar. If I'm running 10-12km shouldn't I be having a bigger breakfast? Won't I run outta energy? Btw I do eat after my runs aswell. I'm just kinda confused haha. Thanks in advance!

  • How to be the BEST runner I can be?

    I'm currently injured, but when I head back to running (I'll be hungrier than ever) I want to train and eat the best I can for cross country season. I want to compete with the best in my province, but I know I'll have to bust my butt to do it, but what ever it takes I will do. I'm biking right now so I don't lose cardio and the muscle in my legs, when I head back out will running be a shock to my body or will I pick up? Also any advice for training, diet, anything?

    Thanks!!

  • Will this much rest affect my cross country training?

    Okay I'm resting from an ankle injury. I didn't run 3 days then I went running yesterday (10km) but now it hurts again so I'm resting today and possibly tomorrow. I really don't want this to affect my cross country training for the fall season, I've everything planned for training with runs, speed work, hill intervals, etc. Will resting this much affect how much I've worked so hard for? Will I lose my ground that fast?

  • Tips for faster distance pace?

    When I'm on a run my pace is usually 4:40km-5km (min), when I race it's around 4:20-4:30km, I want to try to get into least a 3:50-4km pace, any advice? I run 10km or more, lots of hills, one being 2km, and I'm going to start training on track for speed laps, and maybe weights for pole vault.
