Advice non runners give you on running.

I also here the same thing's.

Why do you have to run so much, can't you just cross train and get the same effect without all the POUNDING.

(My thoughts... I don't really pound the ground when I run, but that's just me)

Eat honey right before you run to give you energy. Plus all the ones you said.

I was told to run my mileage with a parachute by my barber to prep for finals.

I was told to sprint as fast as I could for as long as I possible and increase the distance I was sprinting until I could run that fast for an entire race.

I thought the strategy was pretty novel.

Ha ha- yeah we get a lot of parents telling their kids to (and asking me why their kids don't)just run with the leader the whole way.

aka Gerry Lindgren training

"Why don't you just run faster?"

New Balance has the best cushioning.

are people retarded??

These advices don't really sound that bad. What's wrong with them?

Try Chi Running.

Actually this was from a one-time 33 min 10K runner who spent 15 minutes trying to convince me that Chi was awesome and that I should give it a go.

Did you actually try it before you made a judgment?

I eat honey before races all the time for that exact reason. I also recall reading (several years back) in runners world that a pro runner recommended doing it, too.

I eat honey all the time but I never feel like it gives me extra energy. It's just healthy.

"You're too skinny to be fast. You should gain weight."

They're clearly never seen a Kenyan marathoner.

I commonly here ,wear a weight vest and ankle weights, do speed work by sprinting a mile, eat more beans for protein.

this, also that I should run practice marathons and try to run

faster each time.

For a marathon, all I have to do is go out as hard as I can, and really believe.

My other favorite (before I ran a marathon) was the pressure I got from coworkers to let another coworker, who held a 5:20 marathon PR and coached for TNT, coach me so I could finally do a marathon and then move up to a triathlon....
