Jim2's Running Page

My life as a runner began in 1982.  Since then, I have run seriously at some times, and not so seriously at other times.  Regardless of the level at which I am running, however, I have remained a runner in spirit at all times since I began.  For a summary of my running background, click here.

I have been a regular participant on the forums of the Runner's World Online (RWOL) website since I first "discovered" them in May, 1996.  I also have participated on the Merv Competitive Runner's Forum and other running websites.

Many running questions recur on the forums as new participants appear.  So, I have saved some of the more general posts that I have written for the forums for future reference and use.  This running page consists primarily of a collection of those posts, plus a few other items.  Some of the posts are "generic" in nature....I have used most of them on the forums frequently.  Other posts are replies to specific inquiries posted by others.  I have not edited them to de-personalize them.  I hope that those who are mentioned by name in those posts don't mind that.  Posts that were part of the same "thread" on the forums are "threaded" here.  I have grouped the posts into categories of primary subject matter.  However, some posts might be applicable to more than one major category.  There is also redundancy among the posts because they are mostly unedited.
