comment How do I minimize calf muscle pain as I get back into running?
Have modified the edit from @Dave. I don't like the Cool Running Couch to 5k programme as I feel it's too aggressive with running too early. That link is Couch to 5k. Possibly Dave might like to add an answer with it.

revised How do I minimize calf muscle pain as I get back into running?
Removed one example link added by editor as I don't support it. Will re-add as comment.

comment How can I recover more quickly from leg-intensive cardio workouts?
I don't agree with the first paragraph of this answer but I do with the rest. With an appropriate training program being able to run for 30 mins 3 times a week should be achievable for most people - and is certainly not pro-athlete levels of activity.

comment Is it possible to self learn any hand combat skills or martial arts?
I learnt Taekwon-Do for four years and I would agree with this comment. You need an instructor to give you feedback on the subtleties of the hand positions, etc. Otherwise you will feel more capable than you actually are which is dangerous.

comment Looking for good alternate to salt pills during exercise
I took a look at both the Succeed! and Hammer websites. Succeed makes no mention of kosher. Hammer lists their kosher products but Endurolytes is not listed. I did some quick research on kosher in this respect - you'll have to decide how your religion applies but salt tabs are minerals and not animal derived so I'm not sure it's relevant.
