How can I get the right climbing shoe size?

I want to order a pair of climbing shoes, but being an online buyer, I have no chance of trying them on before gettin’ them. A friend told me to order 1/2 more than my usual size, taking into consideration that they are pointy. Any suggestions?

Your friend has it backwards. I wear a size 10 tennis shoe but my climbing shoe size is a 9. I wear an 8.5, because REI was out of 9′s, and its only a little too snug. You want your climbing shoe to be snug. Otherwise its gonna slip off when your doing heel-hooks or just from Climbing in general. Another thing is, most people don’t wear socks when they’re wearing their own shoes, like me.

If your just gonna do quick indoor climbs then go tight as possible, because you can just take them off once you get down. Even when I’m outdoors, I walk around in sneakers and just slip my rock climbing shoes on when I’m about to climb. Walking around in rock climbing shoes is just bad. It wears your shoes down faster and many shoes are rounded on the bottom which makes twisting an ankle pretty easy.

Basically a full size below what you normally wear is good. Tight/discomfort is good/ok but pain is bad.

How to prepare yourself for running in the military?

My husband is already in the military. And I want to join. My problem is, I can’t run for the life of me. I can run say a quarter mile then I just want to slow down for a while, then I can start running again. I really join for a career, and most importantly to serve my country. Running is the only thing that is holding me back. How can I start training myself to run for long periods of time non-stop?
I run/walk everyday for 2 miles.

The way I did it when I started training for Marathon races was a run/walk program. The trick is to advance, but not too quickly and listen to your body, if you have a rough day, just let it go and do what you can, rest, then get back out there and kick some ***.

Day 1&2 – R3min/W3min – 2 miles
Day 3 – Rest
Day 4 & 5 – R3min/W2min – 2 miles
Day6 – Rest
Day 7 – 4 mile walk
Day 1&2 – R4/W3 – 2 miles
Day 3 – Rest
Day 4 & 5 – R4/W2 – 2miles
Day 6 – Rest
Day 7 – 4 mile walk

Repeat this schedule ramping up your running minutes and decreasing walking until you can run an entire mile without walking, usually about 7-9 min of running. Then start the entire program over adding another mile of distance. When you add another mile add another mile to your walk on day 7. the reason day 7 is only walking it gives your muscles a good long stretch which is what you need. Also, make sure you stretch, calves, hamstrings, quads before and after running. Also, if you start to feel pain in your knees or shins, then return to the previous weeks Run/walk times because you advanced too soon. Now some people stick to the same 2 weeks schedule for only 2 weeks and some for a month, just depends on how your body handles the increase stress of Running. Also, make sure to run outside and even pavement, treadmills are really bad for doing this exercise.

runningFollow latest updates at http://twitter.com/rt_com and http://www.facebook.com/RTnews
Dramatic video has emerged from Japan of people scrambling to get onto the roof of a building to escape rapidly rising waters in the moments after the devastating tsunami struck last Friday. Following their escape, the footage then shows people attempting to save others stranded in nearby trees, and on top of cars, with the help of a hose pipe. The drama takes place in the city of Sendai against a backdrop of swirling water and devastation, cars piled up against trees and buildings.
