I do some sort of General Strength after almost every run of the week, but occassionally do my core or weights before a run due to travel/time constraints. I know the benefits of post-run strength work probably out-weigh the transverse, but I was wondering if there were any positive hormonal/training benefits of doing your GS before a run every now and then? Physically, I find my runs always feel good after being in the gym for a half-hour or so doing GS and I would like to blame that on increased levels of HGH and testerone rather than just being extra warmed-up when I start a run. Thanks for any input!]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:43:14 -0500 http://www.runnerspace.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18706 http://www.runnerspace.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=724

Some believe strength training and lifting weights is a vital part of improving and helping stay injury free, while others view such activities as wasted energy when one could be running. Do you currently include strength training in your routine?

I am a high school runner who is really interested in the marathon. At what age do you recommend you run your first marathon, and what mileage would you recommend?

Thanks a lot!

I apologize for the very long delay in the Nike Spikes series that I started at the beginning of the summer. It was a crazy summer, but I'm starting up the long over due return of these videos that preview Nike's spike line-up that will soon be available for retail and on the feet of runners across the country. Jonny "Wildhorse" Truax, James "Tonger" Tong, and Tom "Red Rocket" Redding give you insight on how these spikes are made and the inspiration behind them in a very entertaining fashion. Enjoy!


In case you missed the first two videos:

Part 1 - Cubicle Tour

Part 2 - The Process

Keeping in line with the mission statement of RunnerSpace, we developed a place where members can learn about aspects of running and training. This is also a place for members to share knowledge and ask questions about their own running. It is still getting going, but your participation is what we want. The greatest thing about this sport is that there are many ways to make it to the starting line fit and ready to roll. We all have unique experiences and philosophies on how to get everything we can from our running. There are clinics out there where coaches and runners pay money to learn. This is an opportunity to expand your knowledge without ever leaving your couch. Want that upper edge on your competition or just want to learn how to avoid some of those nagging injuries?
