I have varicose veins - should I be running? I agree. This is a medical question best answered by a medical practictioner. Voted to close. |

Worthwhile to cross-train while preparing for half-marathon Oh, btw, I wouldn't agree that winter street and trail conditions in Edmonton should stop you running. One of the world's best female ultra runners, Ellie Greenwood, lives in Banff, AB and she's out training in the snow up there (as well as treadmill training). Mind you, that kind of discipline is probably part of why she won Western States last year. |

Worthwhile to cross-train while preparing for half-marathon On this one I agree with Berin Loritsch over @DaveLiepmann. In my experience, weight training interferes with running training (and this would be the opinion of most ultra-runners I know). |

When is it time to buy new running shoes It's not me. If somebody like Jon Vonhoff, who is the most well regarded expert on feet and ultras and who volunteers at Western States, suggests it then I'm good with it. If an ultra-runner who does 100km+ a week wants to do it then why not. Sure it's unusual and not generally advised. |

When is it time to buy new running shoes @IvoFlipse It's not always possible for some people. |

When is it time to buy new running shoes Shoe soles, yes. Shoe uppers, not necessarily. There is an excellent book, Fixing Your Feet, which recommends cutting the uppers on brand new shoes to fit your feet - if that is what your feet require. |

Mineral water for sport and living @L.DeLeo Have edited to quote Dr Noakes. Is this better? |
