My knees hurt too, and I really let me weight training go, I think it was a mistake, so back to the gym and still running, much happier. Try those knee bands they really do help.Ripped Chixhttp://www.rippedchix.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685871637529657600.post-15752415013899625162010-04-21T12:30:31.232-04:002010-04-21T12:30:31.232-04:00great post! i would love to run again, but frankly...great post! i would love to run again, but frankly, my knees hurt or 'give out' after about a quarter-mile for NO reason. it's now affecting my free-weight squats. It's a mystery to me. never had any knee injuries or surgery. <br /><br />besides, i did discover quite recently that eating rice (yes, rice!) makes my joints feel stiff and tender. <br /><br />any other suggestions on tochihttp://www.tochi.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685871637529657600.post-23760659414822470452010-04-21T12:08:51.819-04:002010-04-21T12:08:51.819-04:00I practice inclines every day, I think this is par...I practice inclines every day, I think this is part of the reason I don't have shin splint problems. <br /><br />I also think that yoga belive it or not has helped my back and when running long distance keeps my core tight.<br /><br />Both of these really relieve my distractions so I can just enjoy the run and my breathing.Trainer T.s Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788097098229327094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685871637529657600.post-26347640774189474402010-04-21T11:48:23.647-04:002010-04-21T11:48:23.647-04:00I think everyone falls at least once when first ge...I think everyone falls at least once when first getting used to clipless pedals.

It really helped during the race when lots of others were complaining about the hills. Then when I came back home and recovered and started running again, I had gotten SO much faster on flats!Pensguyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070367708282434296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685871637529657600.post-45299375370473324812010-04-20T15:54:30.353-04:002010-04-20T15:54:30.353-04:00Here are some "newbie" mistakes I made a...Here are some "newbie" mistakes I made at my first triathlon: 1) Didn't practice 180 degree turns clipped in enough...tipped over still attached. 2) Didn't check to see if brake had been pushed tight on back tire after tip over....after race I realized why all the mountain bikers were passing me with ease on the last miserable hill! 3) Chew gum during bike and run...keeps the Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238608301265048102noreply@blogger.com
