RUNNING????????????????

hi,
me, my sister, and my friend are 14 years old. we go running about 4 times a week at our high school track. we have some questions about running:
&we are not trying to loose weight, just trying to get better at running and become healthier. we are all skinny and dont need to loose weight
1. when we run we get very exhausted and loose breath about 20 seconds into it. we need to know if there are good distractions to use while running to calm breathing. so far, we blast our ipods listening to music, we drink, we look up at the sky, and we run with less clothing.sum it up we can only run 1 lap around the track and then we immediatly get tired. and we usually do over 2 miles at the track. we need good distractions or breathing tecniques to keep us running longer.

2. what are good ab exercises after our cardio workout after running ( we would like to tone our abs)

we run at night so its not hot but we still sweat and we go anywhere between 6:30 -8

please help us and thanks for ur time;)

Anyone in the NYC area interested in cross-training this weekend?

Through a website called bullshido different martial artists get together in local areas to arrange different sparring sessions under whatever rules the people agree on. It isn’t very formal. if you want to go light contact you can find someone there who will go light contact, if you want to do standing only or full mma you can find someone there who will do that too.

No egos, just a bunch of people who want to cross train with other styles and martial artists.

If you show up you are considered a winner because you are a normal person willing to test your technique against different people and you are not all talk.

It is this sunday (the 19th) at the fighthouse here is the info from the bullshido topic:

sunday nov 19, 12noon-3pm. at fight house (www.fighthouse.com) mat fee seems to usually be /per person but if there are enough of us we should try to haggle down to 122 West 27th Street 2nd floor, New York, N. Y. 10001 (bet. 6 & 7 Ave.) TEL. (212)807-9202
here is the bullshido link for the topic:

Or you can message me with any questions.
It went well. I guess there isn’t anybody here on yahoo answers from nyc though.

When I read through the WOD and courses i see alot of body strength type excerise, i undertstand it is supposed to make you better in alot of areas, but is it possible I can do crossfit and still do powerlifting.(small reps – alot of weight) I dont want to lose hitting power.Thanks

Should I train for running during the summer as if it was another season?

I’m a high school track & field/cross country funner and I feel that I’m not getting any faster. I was planning on training for a 2month season after 2 weeks of break from spring track and then get a 2 week break from the summer season before running cross country. Would it help or hurt me?
Also, should I or should I not train for speed and why?

How does cross training in the Air Force work?

I haven’t enlisted yet but I have my top five career choices already picked out; still photography, public affairs, mental health services, loadmaster and radio and television. I realize that I’ll probably get loadmaster because the other four have few slots open, but would I be able to cross train for any of the others? I have my AA in Radio & Television as well as nearly six years of photography experience, would that affect my chances of getting the other careers listed?

Training shoes vs Cross country flats in a Cross Country race?

Running Junior High Level, 2.5 mile xcountry races. How much of a difference will wearing xcountry flats make over wearing my training sneaks?
*I’m a beginner, but I am in the top 8 in my division & have a very real potential to qualify for the JOs in December.

What is a good fitness program for a skinny kid like me?

Is the p90x good for someone who weighs 140lbs and is 5"11? I want a good fitness program (DVD) with a routine, food plan, and that tells me what equipment to buy. I want too put on some weight/muscle.

How do I start a realistic fitness program with the limited equipment at my apartment building’s gym?

All my gym has is:
One leg press machine
One bench press machine that can be adjusted to do a shoulder press.
One Lat pulldown machine that also has a bottom pulley for lat rows.
One stationary bike
One elliptical thing
One treadmill
That’s it. No freeweights.

How do I get started with a good strength training/fitness program that doesn’t suck, using just these resources, that I can stick with? What should the program consist of? How many times a week? How many reps? How do I adjust the program as I get fitter?
If it matters, I’m male, 30, 6’1", and 185 pounds of flab. I can do about 10 pushups and 1 pullup. resting pulse 76 bpm.
