I am thinking about starting a jogging/running exercise program to lose a few pounds that I gained recently from stress. I have heard negatives and positives about running, especially for women. Can someone give me their running plans, experiences, etc.
Answer
I really enjoy running. At first it is going to seem like work, because your body is gradually adapting to the stresses of running, but after a while, it becomes a part of your life and it's hard to live without exercising / getting that endorphin rush.
If you are starting off running, I suggest taking it slow. Perhaps run 1/4 mile and walk 3/4 of a mile and gradually build up to running over the course of 3 weeks. The reason for this is that you want to build your muscles / system to accomadate the stresses of running. Doing too much, too soon is a certain path to injury and ultimately disliking running.
If you succeed at getting into a daily habit, consider signing up for a local 5K race. They are competitive but you don't need to be a speedster to do well. You'll find other people who are runners and it becomes a social event in some cases.
There are plenty of good books that you can find at Borders. Also consider getting a subscription to http://www.runnersworld.com or http://www.runningtimes.com to learn more about the sport, apparel, and tips / tools.
Just remember to build up slowly and give yourself some rest days. Running is tough on the body and has its host of injuries. However, most can be avoided by sensible training and the right shoes.
Feel free to drop me a line if you need more suggestions / info.
Good luck.

Women's running shoe for a supinator with flat feet?
Belle B
I currently run around 10-15 miles weekly and the shoe that I have is a Saucony Mirage 2 it's a motion controlled shoe. Anyway I have noticed that I am now getting shin splints and the outside toe along the side of the foot is completely worn but the inner foot and heel are not which leads me to think that I'm a supinator. My feet are flat. Like seriously McDonald's probably has more arches than I do. So can anyone suggest a neutral type shoe or any shoe that would be good for my feet? I would have gone and gotten my foot analyzed but it so doesn't have that in my country. Thanks for the answers. If it helps I run only 5k and 10k races. No trail running.
