Hi - I have just turned 14 years of age and I can currently run on the road up to the distance of 15 miles (which I do every other day in the time of about 89 mins).1) An adult friend has said that it is not healthy to do TRAINING on the road as it can damage knee joints in the future so I should do training on the treadmill for a more bouncy experience which should be easier on my legs. Is this true? Is it healthy to run 15 miles at 14?2) I would like to do marathon running when I am older - what is the recommended distance that I should keep at (that well known athletes did when they were 14)?3) Another friend has suggested a regime of 1 road run and 2 treadmill runs every week? Is it possible to damage legs on the treadmill and does it really relieve the pressure on the knees?I would be SO gr8ful if anyone answered this question as seriously as possible (preferably advice from a person with past experiences in running).Thanx, Matt:)
