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.

    Define scenic? Right now I’m debating next fall’s marathon (I know I’m planning super far out it’s what I do) so currently I’m thinking between duke city, twin cities, Richmond (VA), Detroit, Baltimore and Steamtown for next fall. Twin and duke I would have to fly to but I have friends that live there so I might be able to wrangle free lodging not sure about lodging for the rest though, but I’m not closed to considering other fall marathons for next year.

      I live in Baltimore and obviously love it but I think other races on your list are more scenic. I don’t know the course but Richmond as a city is sooo cute and certainly worth a visit.
