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.

      I feel like it’s “Black November” at this point, as the sales start so early.

      But I did pick up a pair of shoes (ASICS Novablast 3) as part of ASICS 25% off sale. I do wonder if the 3s will be further discounted when the 4s come out on 12/1.

      Senita!!! I don’t need any more tops but the race photos were so bad I realized I need just one flattering top for races.

      Also I keep refreshing the shoe sites. I want a new pair of shoes…I am not brand exclusive-I just want a good sale!

      I was deciding between running vest from Smartwool or thermo tights from Fusion but today my wife mentioned that our daughter dreams of getting a Prince special Edition under a XMAS tree. So I guess I will be buying Prince 🤷‍♂️
