Body angle during freestyle There is no "optimum" angle, and this is something that is pretty impossible to describe/diagnose without video feedback. My best advice since you seem to have a ton of swimming questions is to find a qualified instructor. |

Avoiding Tendinopathy (suggested rest interval to prevent chronic pain) It's possible. It's also possible that you did some damage to the bursa sacs, or even temporarily dislocated the elbow. When people pick toddlers up by one arm, that's a very common side effect, often called "nursemaid's elbow" because the nursemaid would pick the baby up that way. |

What are the precautions to be kept in mind while jogging/running daily? Overall good advice, but there has been absolutely no evidence in studies that stretching prevents injuries or enhances performance. Additionally, static stretching before exercise has been shown to be detrimental and does increase chances of injury. Dynamic stretching before, static stretching after. |

Strength Training Suggestions for Long Distance Running Please note: I did not address a very critical portion of distance running, hydration and nutrition, solely because of the fact that the OP is already a 3:23 marathoner, and likely has their own strategy that works. For a beginner/novice marathoner, this is absolutely something that would need to be worked out and practiced during training and I would also recommend some preliminary 10k's and maybe 1/2 marathons to practice said strategy. |

I am hitting walls with my lifts, how can I progress? If you're hitting walls, I'd suggest lifting in a bigger room. :p |

Avoiding Tendinopathy (suggested rest interval to prevent chronic pain) Shin splints are a muscle malady, not a tendon malady. Treatments are different. And you went from couch to crazy. Your best bet is going to be rest and anti-inflammatories, and then being a little more sensible about ramping up training. |

Strength Training Suggestions for Long Distance Running To be honest, weightlifting probably won't help your running much unless you are at the very pointy end of the stick. Muscle mass (especially upper body) won't help with the endurance, and will just be a weight drag. It will help with the stick look though :) There's a reason that Mo and Galen look like they do. Can you detail what your 5 or 10k and marathon paces are? Right now I'm guessing you are in the 40-50 mile range, which is 20-30 less per week than I would expect for a pure marathon trainer, and not sure why you are doing a 30 mile run one day a week. |

Pain in forearm while doing bicep curls @DocFaustus - It is a bit of a gray area, but the basic question is "Tell me why this hurts". |

Pain in forearm while doing bicep curls @Greg - We don't know. It could be muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve or any combination. Pain (as opposed to an ache) is a signal that something is wrong. Get it checked out. |

Pain in forearm while doing bicep curls Medical advice is off topic, and this question is very individual in nature. |

Proper running form - landing on balls of feet? What do you consider a long run? What is your weekly mileage? How old are your shoes? |
