If you've got runner's knee, patellar tendonitis, or IT band issues, listen up: The pain is in your knee, but the cause is in underdeveloped muscles like your hips and glutes. Your knee is just taking the load your underdeveloped muscles are dropping. This is why we start every free member with the Injury-Proofing 101 guide. It's the essential first step to pain-free running. QUESTION: What's the biggest running ache or pain you've finally solved by strengthening a different body part? Share your win!

Calling all RunDisney runners! We know these races require unique prep. Besides your costume, what's the one item you cannot run without? Mine is my Flipbelt, no matter what my costume looks like I always carry a lot of stuff with me, not just for running, but also for filming, so the Flipbelt is an essential for me. Share your best-kept packing secret below!

The GOAT completed his much-anticipated New York City Marathon debut on the famously hilly course: - Result: Kipchoge finished in 17th place with a time of 2:14:36.Though not his fastest time, still amazing when you think about it. - The Milestone: Despite the lower-than-expected place, his finish means the 40-year-old Kenyan legend has officially completed all six Abbott World Marathon Majors, earning the prestigious "Seven Star" Hall of Fame distinction. - Future Plans: Kipchoge's focus was clearly on the milestone, telling media he was focused on being a "real marathoner" by finishing all the majors. The news on his "huge announcement" (like running in Antarctica) is expected now that the race is done. - The Mission: Over the next two years, Kipchoge plans to compete in seven marathons across seven continents. - The Purpose: This "transition" (not retirement) is explicitly aimed at promoting the joy of running and raising funds and awareness for the Eliud Kipchoge Foundation, which supports educational and environmental causes worldwide. - Eliud: "With this project, I want to compete not only for records, but for the people. I want to continue to push myself to run at my best, but I also want to inspire, give back, and remind everyone that no human is limited." - He has also mentioned plans to test himself at the ultra distance, specifically taking on a 50km race in Saudi Arabia. His management team stated he intends to continue competing in the elite fields of these marathons, even if his primary goal is no longer winning. So the question remains, will Eliud, as a 40+ Ageless Runner, join the ranks of Dopey? Will we see him in full costume at the start line of a Disney Run? Who knows?
