How do you heal knee pain caused from running?

I have been running high school track (sprints, not distance) for a week and a half now. My legs were sore the first week, but in the last two days I’ve developed pain in my knees. It hurts when I walk downstairs and almost feels like it’s behind my knees. This pain is so intense that I can barely run. We have a meet tomorrow and I know I won’t be healed by then, but what can I do to minimize it and eventually heal the pain?

Is running good for weight loss in your legs?

I’d like to either lose weight in my legs, or at least tone them nicely. Even if they remain about the same size but turn to muscle I’m fine with that.

Would running with a Wii fit work to achieve this if I only run for 10-20 minutes a day? I have a disability which prevents me from doing more than that unfortunately. Will this be sufficient enough to achieve weight loss in my legs or tone them, or is there nothing I can do since I can’t push myself more than that?

Thanks!

What are the differences of running on a treadmill verses outside?

I have been running on a treadmill for a long time and love it and feel great. The other day I ran in a park and today my legs are very sore like I have never run before in my life. Do I need to run outside more?

Swimming for cross country training?

My coach told me to run 15-30 minutes during the summer for cross country training…but I want to do something besides just running (like swimming). How much would I have to swim to excercise my legs as much as running and what should I do while swimming? I don’t have a very large pool and it is oddly shaped so laps would not be very helpful. Thank you.

How do you stop painful legs while running in a race?

During all of my races and the entire cross-country season, my upper body and my lungs have improved dramtically while running and it is very easy for me to breathe. But my problem is, my legs get painful and are hurting badly during the race. If I can just get my legs not be so painful, I would be a dominant runner and nobody would fuck with me. How can I stop my legs from being so painful while running. Is biking or weight lifting a good idea?

what should i wear during my triathlon swim?

I am doing my first triathlon in 5 months and am going to start my swimming training this week. What can I get to train in and race in? I don’t want to buy something expensive just to race in. I am thinking I buy one of those wetsuits that just cover your legs up…similar to the ones the olympic athletes race in. I don’t want to train in bulky swim trunks. I suppose I could go with the speedo…although I might be slightly uncomfortable at first.

How do I control acne caused from running?

I have really bad acne on the back of my legs from running. I don’t have acne otherwise, and I don’t stay in sweaty clothes any longer than I have to after my runs. Is there anything I can do besides scrubbing the s*hit out of them every day?

Running……?

My fastest mile is 7 minutes and 30 seconds. I stretch and all that, BTW I use a treadmill. Any ways on improving my speed on the treadmill to 5.59 and below minutes. Whoever gives the advice that helps me to 5 minute mile will have their name included on my youtube video of me running that mile. I want to improve my lower body strength because I have REALLY strong upper strength but medium strength in legs, I gotta run fast for baseball in highschool. Any advice?

Why am I gaining so much weight during triathlon training?
