I can't do more than 10 - 15 repetitions for biceps Also looking at the number of calories you are eating per day, your trainer is right and you need to eat a lot more. |

Buying barbell / rack All good advice, thank you! Especially about only buying padded plates for the largest diameter. @Meade I have been a gym regular for years, just never bought my own stuff. |

How to prepare for a race? Thanks Chris. I had tapered for the week before so I did as you said and ran a short time at race pace. I skipped breakfast but had a big dinner the night before. Broke my PB and achieved my target! |

What kind of running shoe is good for my knees? It very much depends on your gait. That's why there's different types of running shoes. You should go to a running shop |

Dumbbell weight training for distance running Ive had some success from dumbbell squats, snatches and swings. Use a fairly heavy weight such that you can do 4-5 sets of ~5 reps |

Should I run along? Its true - i had shin splints for ages, and always tried training my shins and calfs but the actual problem was my hips' strength |

Impact of Marijuana on training Of course you will have those effects while you're under the influence... not very helpful to be honest |

What are some signs of overtraining? For me, its mental sluggishness, tiredness and general lack of energy. When it hits, you'll know about it trust me. But if you feel good with your current programme, there's no need to take more rest. |

What is a “Runners High”? The body rewards positive behaviour (in the case of running, because we used to run to hunt food) by releasing endorphins to try to encourage us to repeat such behaviour. Individuals to whom this doesnt happen are eventually bred out of the species by those to whom it does (and are more likely to reproduce as a result). |

Should I eat more calories when working out even though I'm trying to lose weight? You can try it and if you feel low on energy, just eat more. |

Can overtraining also occur during cardio exercise? Barbie is right - its possible to overtrain on cardio, but not in the same sense as you would lifting weights. Your muscles dont fatigue so much but nutritionally, you can push yourself to the limit. I've felt it before but only after contiguous weeks of exercise and dieting at the same time. Its not a muscle-ache its a general lack of energy. |

Can I run barefeet on asphalt? Depends what your pavements are like. You could maybe run on the road, where the surface is flatter and probably less littered. |
