Recovering from trochanteric (hip) bursitis This was actually last year... It turned out that it was bursitis, and taking it easy, stretching, and light cycling twice a week on "rest" days did the trick. |

How does running style impact health and performance? "I need to change my style to POSE" is probably not the best total approach. While I agree with the philosophy behind barefoot/minimalist running, I only agree with it insomuch as it teaches people to run properly. Subscribing to a single, named (in your case POSE) "style" seems a bit of an oversimplification to me. |

Why is the weight not dropping off? No argument there. I'm not really talking about finding out exactly what it is though. The point is that if you have a consistent measurement you can track a trend. Even if the measurement is very inaccurate, as long as it's consistently inaccurate you can measure a trend and see improvement, even if you don't know your actual fat percentage. |

Best way to breathe for long-distance running I can go anaerobic while obtaining plenty of O2 via nasal breathing. I couldn't 2 years ago. The OP wanted to know about long distance running. To me, that is not something you do anaerobically or at a high intensity. Nasal breathing provides a level of comfort in long distance running I've never found breathing through my mouth. But it should be obvious: if, for whatever reason, you need more O2 than you can obtain via nasal breathing, slow down or open your mouth. |

Best way to breathe for long-distance running @Aaron: Re-read my answer. I said that I train at an intensity such that I don't need the greater volumes of O2 provided by nose-and-mouth or mouth breathing. It clearly states that for aerobic training, we can adapt to nasal-only breathing. The inverse should be obvious: for anaerobic, high-intensity training, you probably need more O2. |

Best warm up for running Should probably also note that static stretching is less an less recommended at all, not just before running. |

Good breakfast to regain concentration and energy after a morning workout? Newer/more recent research is showing that starches and carbs may cause your body to store more fat and lower your bodies ability to convert fat to fuel. So when the glucose spike from your cereal goes away, your body wants more sugar for fuel, but there's nothing there. Fat and protein included in your post-workout meal have been shown to prevent this. |

How do I cope with extreme pain from running on hard surfaces? If you feel a lot of pain running in Vibrams (or any minimalist shoe) you're doing it wrong. With any minimalist shoe (and preferably any shoe) you need to learn to run lightly with a fore or mid foot strike, and you need to to cut way back on the distance until your feet and legs have un-attrophied and adapted. |
