im a freshmen xc runner and 800m runner
this is my first year running and i want to drop my times some more.. i heard yoga helps alot
how much time would it drop and is it worth doing it??
i would be doing the yoga x from p90x

im not too sure, but yoga would definitely help. it would control your breathing and allow you to be more flexible. this could increase your stride and performance. believe it or not some yoga exercises can also build muscle and benefit abdominal and other muscles.

How do you train for a marathon?
Well, I quit smoking. Its been a week, but I was thinking about how to celebrate my new freedom from El Nico. What better way then to run a marathon? I’ll be improving the cardiovascular health I damaged at the same time.
I know I can’t just get up and run 26 miles. Even before I smoked, the best I could do was a painful, gasping two miles. Now, I wonder if I could even run one. But, I’m only 25 and lean. My health should bounce back quickly.
I figure I’ll start with gym workouts, treadmill, weights, yoga, aerobics, etc. to improve my heart and lungs, as well as muscle strength and flexibility so I don’t hurt myself. After that, I’m clueless.
Any runners out there? How do you train? How far off would you recommend I set my goal to run a marathon? One year? Two?
Sounds like you’re on the right track. I suggest you check out the web, places like www.runnersworld.com . They have beginner marathon plans, perfect for someone such as yourself.
Congrats on kicking the habit, and for deciding to do a marathon!
Do you have a particular marathon in mind for your first one? I imagine if you’re starting now, you’ll be looking at a late summer or early fall marathon (giving you plenty of time to do your research and train).
EDIT: C’mon Ron, you know you want to run a marathon…
EDIT AGAIN: All of the advice you’ve gotten here is really great, but it still boils down to you. If you stick with running over the next couple months, you might find that you are ready to start a marathon program within the first year, or you might progress slower and want to take longer. You can’t set such a large goal just yet, as you have very little reference for comparison. Give yourself a couple weeks or a month, and see how your conditioning is progressing. Sometimes, it will surprise you how quickly you improve if you stay dedicated to something. Also, its very hard to set a goal that is so far into the future. 2 years from now, you may have decided that running just wasn’t for you and be doing cycling or rowing or who knows what. I’ve found its better to have looser major goals (run a marathon, rather than run a marathon on this set date), then as the scale/time frame of the goal gets smaller, the goal can be more specific (run a 5 miler this week, run a short race in may, etc.).
Good luck! I hope this isn’t the last of you we see on Y!A running section!

Running tips and help please?
Okay so a bit about me. This is my previous question:
Okay so I hate running. Loathe it. Since I was in second grade and we had to run 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 yds and finally the most dreaded: THE MILE. I sucked. I sucked every year. But I was the top two in sprinting I could go pretty fast. I was a gymnast and I still have very muscular thighs so I’m not weak I have a lot of natural muscle tone — mostly muscular quads. This makes me think I’m more of a sprinter, especially since I did long and triple jump last year. My coach got me going really fast with different drills. But I really want to begin running long distance, but I can’t seem to do it. (My mile in middle school was more than 10 minutes but I went fast for the first quarter, then slower and slower until I walked and was scolded for doing cartwheels). I have tried to pace myself, but I feel I still get slower and slower anyways. it’s like I have no endurance.
Recently I’ve tried running, but it ends up being more like a jog. The most I can jog is 3/4 mile without stopping. And man does that feel uncomfortable. I’m out of breath when some people can run that in faster time whilst talking!! I really don’t have good cardiovascular endurance and I guess I’m just not in good cardiovascular shape.. I’m not fat either. i’m a bit over 5’6 and 127 lbs as a girl. If I can remember correctly I was like 17.5% body fat ( 25 inch waist) so I don’t know if I just don’t like pushing myself or what. My brother cannot sprint AT ALL but he can go on a pace for days!
Please please give me tips!
Anyhting you runners used as technique? Should I just stick to cycling classes and yoga and do things with short twitch muscle? Any ways to trick myself into running more or anything you’d like to say?
*************************************************************************************************************
So now I can actually run a mile without stopping. WOW lol. But I can do it in only 7:14 minutes. Any ways to make it faster and easier? Any tips helpful. Am I really in that bad of cardiovascular shape if I’m out of breath by the end? Also my legs are killing me, even in extreme gymnastics — flips and sprinting vault and everything my calves never have hurt me before. They are inner calves -NOT SHIN SPLINTS THOUGH. Anybody had this?
You are entirely correct. Since fast is an adjective it cannot be used in this case as an adverb to describe the verb.
" I could go pretty fast" should be "I could go pretty quickly" in which "pretty" is the adjective for the adverb "quickly" which then directly describes the extent of "the going", which I should have specified as running. 
In real life I’m a grammar Nazi but here I can relax lol.
Yes Thank you!! I appreciate any advice. Keep it coming
Runnign is a learned activity. Your body needs to know what it feels like to run before you can run a mile all out. I would suggest running first. Try to get out and run 5-6 miles a day 5 days a week to start, and as you get stronger bump it up to 6 days. If running that much is too difficult, try running 3-4 miles a day at AN EASY PACE where you feel like you’re not going to fast or too slow, and then spend 10-15 minutes on a bike in the gym. Get your aerobic base up. Your times will start dropping quickly if you get that done.
