hope you recover soon


i just wanted to throw this in for everyone

The Smart Coach Running Training Program at Runner's World.com

it's very helpful.

this is coming from someone who, in february of 2007 could barely run a mile...then, eventually i got to 15 minutes a mile...and now masha'Allah..ive cut that time in half almost..im between 8-9 minutes a mile now..and only getting better

so encouragement for everyone iA lots of free running tools on the web..just gotta take advantage of them. ive plugged the message boards also in the past..they have actual running coaches giving out advice etc.

Runnersworld is amazing masha'Allah.

I'm using this plan..

First Steps


I know can do more than this plan states but i want to start slow and work up so i don't injure myself. I just found out that the High School lets the local residents use the track after school..being now its summer I have 24/7 free access to track..nice. I also found a nice little trail along the river to run too...Alhamulillah!

Asalamu Alaikum,

So i just started running, and I think its absolutely coo-coo. I hate it so much, I felt like lying on the pavement and dying, suhbhanAllah.

I'm going back to my "speed-walking" treadmill + pilates. Way too much stress.

Fi AmanAllah

You should start slowly and work up to something bigger.

How do the women in here run in the heat with a hijab on? It's too hot for me.

I've had shin splint-esque pain, but down on the outside edges (right at the arch) of my feet.

Anyone else ever have that? I'm taking a day off.
