How quickly can I safely increase the distance I run?

Last year, when I got up to around 8 miles, I suddenly developed knee problems (probably runner%26#039;s knee - chondromalacia) that got so bad I stopped running for the season (even after a two-week break, the pain would come back within a mile).





I%26#039;ve looked into shoes, my form, pronation, knee exercises, stretching- but one frequent factor contributing to runner%26#039;s knee is how fast one increases their mileage. However, I can%26#039;t find any sort of remotely authoritative sounding recommendations on how quickly I should increase (preferably something backed by some research, but otherwise at least backed by a doctor or someone with sports-medicine credentials). I%26#039;ve heard stuff between adding several miles a week and %26quot;not more than a 10% increase per week,%26quot; never with any references.





I%26#039;m not looking for %26quot;this worked OK for me,%26quot; I%26#039;m looking for at least slightly authoritative recommendations, if available.

How quickly can I safely increase the distance I run?
The 10% rule is a great rule to follow for avoiding injury. In the source is an article from Runner%26#039;s World about the 10% rule. You hear the 10% guideline a lot because it works!
Reply:everyday increase just that little bit more.
Reply:Your attitude is to be respected, but at the same time it is your down fall. There is no professional adviser that can tell you how much the increasing increments should be. You%26#039;ve got to wise up on your own and learn to judge this for yourself. If you%26#039;re bent on pushing the envelop get ready for pain. If you just want to get a workout there is no dictate that says you should come anywhere close to injury or pain. If it%26#039;s all about the race and victory then you better run smart now more than ever because you don%26#039;t have a promise for tomorrow.

How do I look cute in my school uniform?

I go to an girl%26#039;s school and I am in my last year.





I have to wear this new light grey jumper this year, because I am in a senior year. So I can%26#039;t wear the old cherry red jumper like I used to before. The red jumper made me look younger and brighter along with my navy skirt.





But now, with the new grey jumper, I feel hopeless in it.





I want to ask for tips on how to look better...perhaps I can change my hairstyle or add something to my uniform wear...etc...





I now wear a lght grey jumper, a navy blue skirt, black socks and Dr Martens mary jane shoes.





I also take a Nightmare before christams bag to school.





Though my sis say that I look cool and pretty.





But I still feel hopeless...





Please help me to convince myself...;(





Thank you very much!





An ohl, I am 15 years old if that helps. ;)

Reply:there are couple of things you could try (not all at once though)


1) try wearing headbands, or a pucci type scarf,or other hair accessories.


2) wear jewelry, try a wrist full of bangles, or a chunky ring, or a long necklace, stacked rings, dangly earrings, a cool pin


3) paint your nails


4) wear a long scarf with your sweater


5) layer a polo shirt under your grey sweater, try pink or lavender
Reply:Since you cant control the outfit to much, you will have to pay lots of attention to details like hair accesories, cute hair styles, jewelry and makeup. Small things here and there will make yuo more noticeable and set yuo apart from all the other people.
Reply:don%26#039;t know what to tell ya, i think they should do away with school uniforms they are all tacky, and everyone looks alike.
Reply:Change Up your Hairstyle frequently Try some updo%26#039;s with shniy hairclips change your makeup style different eyeshadow everyday. You can use bright colors especially if no one else is doing it you could be the new trend starter look some makeup tips up online for different ways to apply Keep yourself kept up. eyebrows plucked/waxed looking nice ad clean fingernails clean, etc. Good Luck Sweetie!
Reply:yes u will look cute
Reply:Maybe wear a a red or navy tank top under your shirt and accessorize, such as earrings, bracelets, a watch. Put your hair down or tie it in a mini pony tail.

How do i get rid of foot odor???

Ok, so i%26#039;m female and i have a really bad foot odor. It doesn%26#039;t matter what shoes i wear unless it%26#039;s thongs. New or old. When i%26#039;ve worn them for a few hours they smell.


I don%26#039;t wear socks unless i wear running shoes. Which is a rare thing. Usually it%26#039;s heels or those enclosed ballet style flat shoes.


How do i get rid of this? My partner hates it and it%26#039;s really embarrasing. This is only a thing that has started within the last year or so.

How do i get rid of foot odor???
There are foot powders that you can purchase or foot deodorants.
Reply:try Dr. Oz%26#039;s Tea Soak


Dr. Oz, who is always on Oprah and is amazing, said to soak your feet in tea. Brew up mild iced tea and soak em for about 30 minutes a day. The tannic acid is effective ingredient. They had a girl in the audience who asked that awhile back and had her on that show to talk about results and she said it worked. Give it a try! Good Luck!

Reply:When you come in at night, take off your shoes, and


put some baking soda in them, shaking it around in there.


Leave them overnight, and shake out the extra in the


morning before putting them on.


Also, wash and dry your feet well, powder them with


baking soda, and put on cotton socks overnight. This


will absorb odor, and be gentle on your feet.


Wash again with an antibacterial soap and dry well


before putting on your shoes in the morning.


And bad foot odor may be a telltale; see a doctor


if this keeps going on.
Reply:get arid-xx dry deodorant spray. spray feet n between toes n bottoms everyday. use palmolive dish soap with the aroma smell (it says it on it-its pink) it will help alot! good luck
Reply:I saw the doctor oz foot thing too. I would try it because her roommates said it worked too. Also, to destink your shoes, you can try putting them in plastic ziplocks and freezing them. (I read that it kills some of the bacteria) Also, Target sells disposable shoe liners (with a light scent). Try using those in your shoes. They are pretty cheap and you can wear the shoes at least 5 times before you need to replace them.
Reply:you can make a strong tea solution and soak your feet for 10 minutes 3 times a week. the tannin in the tea will help with the sweating


try washing your feet with Summers Eve Feminine Wash, it is good for %26quot;odors%26quot;





also get a can of Arrid XX Dry spray and spray the bottom of your feet before you ever wear your shoes. Do this everytime you put on a pair of shoes. and the shoes that are stinky...try putting them outside in the sun, and get some Odoban from Walmart and spray them every time you take them off.

I bought a pair of heels and the bottoom does not have very good grip.?

The last thing i want to to to is fall on my face. Any ideas? IS there something i can but at the store and do my self or would I have to go to a shoe shop?

I bought a pair of heels and the bottoom does not have very good grip.?
go to the beauty supply store or the shoe store and get sandpaper grips to put on the bottom of your shoes. they are not tacky at all and no one will see them.
Reply:Buy a wire brush and scrub the bottoms of the shoe by the ball of your foot.
Reply:Well the homemade trick is to scuff the bottom of the shoes along concrete to give them some texture. This texture will create friction when you walk and prevent slippage. Also, buy some sandpaper with an adhesive backing and cut out a square for the bottom of your shoe. This also creates the friction. I hope I helped!

Where is the mildew in my clothes schrank is coming from.?

Hi am an American service member living in Germany. Last summer I discovered that some of my shoes had mildew in them. (new shoes) I took them out cleaned them and left them out. Later I found some of my clothes as well were mildew. Can some one tell me how to get rid of this problem??? I have Asthma and it bothers me a lot. My schrank is next to an outside wall, there is nothing wet inside or damp. Please help me. Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.

First--thanks for your time served--I do apperciate it. Deeply. Well--you said %26quot;no dampness%26quot; What are they stored in--trunks?? try smelling the inside of the trunks. Sometimes inside of the trunk has odor and hard to get rid of. Try putting some dryer sheets inside when packing--if you can tolerate that smell. Or air freshening thingies. Not good wording but hope you get the meaning. Good luck

I work on a concrete floor in a factory. My heels feel bruised...what shoes work best to prevent this?

I am on my feet around 10 hours a day at work. Tennis shoes (Running shoes, walking shoes, etc) have been tried. I have tried a couple of pairs of work boots to no avail. My last purchase was hiking boots and they have worked the best so far. I know I am not the only factory worker so someone else must have the answer I am looking for. I just want to know what works for you.

Sounds like you%26#039;ve got heel spurs. Along with shoes with good arch support, try icing your feet with a frozen juice can at night (roll it along under your feet), and stretch the arches - you can loop a towel around the ball of your foot and (grabbing each end of the towel in each hand) stretch your arches gently.
Reply:Try using a double-layer of the Dr. whats-his-name padded inserts.
Reply:I%26#039;m not in the a factory but I am on my feel all day. Wht works the best for me is the gel inserts. I bought mine at Walgreens but most stores like target or wal mart will carry them to. You can get some for your heels or for the balls of your feet but they work for me.

A skater shoe question!?
Well i figure skate so i hope this helps. There are many different ways to tie up your skate. All you need to do you is put your right lace to the other side of your lace and do it for your other lace on the other side. Than you just keep doing that until the reach the top. Then you just tie it together on the top into a bow than tada!!


(You can double knot it just incase it comes loose)

Where to find Dirt cheap basketball shoes?

I play basketball pretty much daily. I have a nice pair of sneakers for when I play on a nice indoor court. I have been using last season%26#039;s basketball sneakers this year when I play on the town%26#039;s public outside courts, which I do probably 5-6 times a week. My old sneakers have absolutely no grip on them, and I recently fell because of the no traction and injured my hand. I don%26#039;t want to spend a lot of money because I don%26#039;t plan to use them very often. If you know any good websites that sell cheap shoes please tell.

Big toe keeps digging through shoe insoles, I need a replacement.?

I have gone through three different kinds now. Some random one I found at Wal Mart, a Dr. Sholls gel one, and now a Dr. Sholls heavy work one. On all three the big toe on my right foot manages to dig a hole in them after only a week or two of use.





Does anyone make a higher quality product that has better padding up front or maybe something designed to last a long time? It happens in all my shoes but it usually takes months, with all these replacements I have been trying I have been destroying them in days.

Try going to one of the shoe shops that have diabetic shoes. They carry some thick plastic type insole that are very very hard to wear threw. They will cost you a bit more but im sure you will be satisfied with the result. And they could also tell you if maybe you need a bigger shoe. That also might help. Hope this helps alittle bit.

Where do I get cheep dance shoes?

I%26#039;m an amateur musical theater actress and every time I%26#039;ve had a dance audition I%26#039;ve done it in socks or bare feet. After coming home from my last audition, feet throbbing as usual, I decided it was time I invested in some good dance shoes. My mom said she would pay for them if they aren’t too expensive and I don%26#039;t exactly have a job yet so can someone kindly tell me where I can find a good pair for a decent price? Thanks so much (from me and my feet =:] )

Where do I get cheep dance shoes?
Get a pair of jazz shoes. They are the typical theatre performer shoes. You can move freely around them like they aren%26#039;t there, but they support your feet great so they don%26#039;t ache.





Jazz shoes are pretty cheap most of the time, normally ranging from $20 to $40. You shouldn%26#039;t always go for the cheapest shoe out there, mind you. Unlike regular walking shoes, they don%26#039;t cost more just because they are popular or brand name. It is usually priced by quality.





I recommend to not buy online. Try and find a nearby dance store. It is more reliable that way. Capezio is a great place for dance shoes. Try their store locator.

Reply:Don%26#039;t skimp on dance shoes. I know that you don%26#039;t want your mother to pay a lot. How about you ask her how much she can afford and then offer to do odd jobs around the house or for your neighbors to pay the difference. If she is willing to pay $50 and the pair you want is twice that then just offer to babysit, mow lawns, take garbage out to the curb, sweep footpaths, weed gardens, etc. until you have saved up the other $50.





It is worth the investment to get a pair of quality shoes. You may think that buying a pair of cheap shoes will at least keep your bare feet from throbbing after an audition. On the contrary. Odds are you will end up not only with throbbing feet but a blister or worse.





Invest in the shoes that you not only want but need. Your feet will thank you.

Gals, shoe question?????

I went out with this girl last night and she was wear ballet slippers, not just ballet flats, the real soft split sole ballet slippers. I thought they looked sexy with her skinny jeans. Do any of you girls wear ballet slippers like this as street shoes?

Yeah, they are super cute and very comfortable. I love them.
Reply:No, because they don%26#039;t have any protection in the soles - no cushioning, no sole to protect from rocks, stones - kinda like going barefeet with your toes being pinched.
