I am pretty aware that choosing the right equipment spells the difference when it comes to running, however, what sort of gear do I need to use to start running? Can you give me some good advice?

So, I am looking to buy some shoes, but I’m not sure what to buy.

For information, I am a 5’8″ (172.73 cm) male, ~170-172 pounds (77.56 kg). I am a college student who walks a lot, barely any running, but I get a lot of aches and pain. The main source is arch pain (plantar fasciitis). It gets so bad that it’s hard to even get out of bed without it burning like fire. I also get shin splints fairly often because I fast-walk a lot (really, I only fast walk) and I get some ankle pain as well. I also have constant blisters/calluses. I do have bad back/neck pain, but I think that’s mainly due to very poor posture. I’m not sure how influential that is for shoes, but just throwing that out there as well.

I’ve taken some running shoe tests, but that’s not because I’m only looking for running shoes; it’s just to get information on how I walk.

I have a low arch, when standing straight, my legs angle in (toes point in), barefoot-like shoes absolutely murder my feet, so I’m pretty confident that I need a lot of support/cushioning, and I have slightly wider feet, so if there’s a 2E size, that would be perfect; otherwise, I can probably do 1/2 size up. I believe I have moderate overpronation. I have pretty flat feet and have a mid-foot strike.

Any sneaker recommendations? I’ve found the Brooks Transcend 4, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17, and Asics Kayano 24, but since I don’t really run, I’m not sure if they’d be the best fit.

However, it is to my understanding that running shoes are generally more comfortable than casual shoes, even for just walking long distances. Is this accurate?

I also remember that walking shoes exist. They’d probably be better for me, right? Do they provide more support than running shoes?

Hi, I am a newbie to running. Ran my first 5k recently. I would like to improve my stamina and be able to run farther without getting injured. Can you help me with suggestions on how to achieve these?

I have recently been having problems with my upper right leg, including a recurring cramp in my lower hip, as well as in my upper quad, and a feeling of tightness when I run at high intensity for sustained periods. As a 5k runner, this is a huge hindrance, as the tightness tends to hit me right around the beginning of the third mile and has kept me from keeping my pace in the last mile of my last few races. I have done some icing and rolling and I usually stretch after running, but is there anything else I can do? Thanks!

I am the captain of the men’s team at New England College and it is my first year as a captain. My team is, well, all over the place when it comes down to talent, experience, and how we interact with others. Our coach makes us work hard, which I have no problem with; I actually like it. But my teammates aren’t. College sports are challenging and require a lot of work but it doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun and I can tell that my teammates aren’t having any fun. We can come closer together if I can create opportunities for that but I don’t know how. Plus, being a captain only gives me so much power over what we do, but I feel bad about it. I guess my question is, What can I do to fix a team dynamic that has become so skewed without over-doing?

I been wondering why a marathon is 26.2 miles? seems like a funny distance, why not 30 or 25?

Hey guys!

So I get shin pain during the first few miles when i run, what could it be?

It always goes away after a while but it hurts a lot in the beginning and lately it has been getting worse.

So I have noticed that after each long run (+8 miles) I am thirsty for the last part of the day. I drink a lot of water but it doesn’t seem to help.
What can i do and why is this happening?

I have been running for a few weeks and i keep getting this pain in my side. It happens after 1 mile and continues to hurt for 10-20 min and then it goes away.
How can avoid this pain? it is really annoying
