Back once again for everything you wanted to know about running but were afraid to ask.

Rules of the Road:

This is inspired by eric_twinge’s fine work in r/fitness.

Upvote either good or stupid questions. Sort questions by new so that they get some love.

To the more experienced runnitors, if something is a good question or answer, add it to the FAQ.

Post your question – stupid or otherwise – here to get an answer – stupid or otherwise. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don’t get a lot of action, so if your question didn’t get answered, feel free to post it again.

As always, be sure to read the FAQ first. Also, there’s a handy-dandy search bar to your right, and if you didn’t know, you can also use Google to search runnit by using the limiter “site:reddit.com r/running”.

Be sure to check back often as questions get posted throughout the day. Sort comments by “new” to be sure the newer questions get some love as well.

    If you want to double-up on crab medals, you can do King Crab. Frederick+Baltimore 10+Baltimore Running Festival.

    Frederick could get you the squirrel medal for the Nut Job Challenge too! More animal medals!

    I was considering the Chessie Challenge, but that’s Baltimore and Ocean City both in October. Not sure I could do marathons that close together.

      But then you have to do B10 and potentially die in the heat.

      One day I will go back and get revenge on that race because I really like the course.
