I do long distance 10k, 50k stuff..

My tips:

- Remember to not start off like a rabbit
- Stretch before and after
- Splurge on good shoes
- Good socks too
- Drink plenty of water, and Gatorade afterwards to replenish your electrolytes
- RELAX, do not fucking tense up while running in any way. You will increase your heart rate unnecessarily and will tire yourself out quicker.
- Run at night on soft ground if possible, psychologically its a lot better and you won't ruin your knees
- Get a running partner that you can run with 1-2x/week so that you have someone to compare yourself to
- Eat plenty of foods before and after your run. I suggest nothing acidic, and very light meal beforehand. Maybe oatmeal 1hr prior..
- Enjoy it

Yeah because that's totally a benefit.

A thread mill is the best thing to run on. Play some music or stare at the TV screen in front of you. Watch a movie and you totally forget you are running.

Nah, that would be boring for me. I want to run to improve my cardiovascular health, and to give myself a new hobby. Treadmill ftl.

Running is a great hobby. I usually run 20+ miles a week when I have the time.

Treadmills are definately boring. Get outside and breathe some fresh air. I reccomend that you run in as many different areas as you can, to keep things interesting and fresh. Running the same route over and over gets old, at least for me. I'll often just drive my car to some nice area, park, and run while watching the sights go by. An mp3 player helps a lot too.

As for your knees, get good shoes and buy some Flax Seed Oil and/or Omega 3/6 capsules at GNC or any health food store (a lot of grocery stores have them now too these days). They are good for your joints. Remember, the earlier in life you build strong, durable knee joints, the longer they will last you as you age. Don't worry too much about ruining them. Listen to your body and don't overdo it, and you'll be fine.

Yeah that's why I'm not too worried about it...I've always been pretty athletic.

edit: Thanks.

Well, I'd like to start running/jogging. Any tips you guys can give me to help me get and stay motivated, how long I should be running for when I first start, etc...stuff like that.

When i run i try & do 4-5 miles a day at least 3 days a week. Last summer i challenged myself to run 4 miles in 95-100 degree weather & i did it. It made my night jogs alot easier. Only tips that i got is to try & challenge yourself & also make sure your breathing is good. I always got a bass beat going in my head to keep my breathing right.
