never drink water before runing like for 1 or 1 1/2 hour it will pain you you stomach tried it

no you shouldn't gulp it, you should sip before and throughout

running on roads can **** up your knees. treadmills take away some of the imct and can show you how much you've improved

treadmills are useful, but remember that you aren't powering your bodyweight forward in quite the same way as when you are running on the road or in a park.

I recommend that anyone running should build up to a 50min-1hr steady pace before trying more specialised speed wrk. I know plenty of people at the gym who simply haven't got the base cardio but are trying to do 20min runs and increase their pace.

Once you're comfortable running for a long time, try some interval work, either in time or distance, whichever suits. running with someone else is also a huge benefit in my experience.
