See i started weight training at the age of 15 and it did not affected my growth at all. when i started it i was around 5.4 tall but now i am 19 years old with 5.9 height so don't worry go ahead. but remember on thing if you are doing weight training then you will now have to do it whole of your life. If you leave it in between you will gain very heavy weight as you skin and mussels will become lose.

that depends entirely on your diet. you have to adjust your calorie intake so that you maintain your current weight. if you keep eating as if you're training day-in day-out, you will gain weight simply because calories in > calories out becuase you're not burning off what you're taking in...adjust your calorie intake according to how you dial back on your training. but yes exercise is vital to weight management & health so for your own sake please don't swear off an active lifestyle for good! =)

Based upon my knowledge...you should not gain any weight.  Protein is what will help build muscles.  And for the calorific factor, think about how many calories you burn while running versus your intake against the calories in the protein bar.  I think your OK either way.  Protein bars are healthy.

2 pounds a week is unrealistic, maybe shoot for .5-1\n\ntheoretically, if you want to lose 1 pound a week you need to burn an extra 3,500 calories.. that would be approx. a total of 35 miles a week.. or 5 miles 7 days a week (7 miles 5 days a week) however you want to look at it... \n\nthis would get rid of the weight assuming you don't up your calorie intake at the same time..\n\nthis is also a lot of miles for a beginner.. \n\ni would suggest finding out how much you can run depending on your current fitness level, and then cutting some calories from your diet to make up for the rest of the calories deficit you will need to achieve (3,500) \n\nthis website has a lot of information on running, as well as forums where you can ask questions of other, experienced runners..\n\nrunnersworld.com\n\ni suggest that if you want to start running you read through the website and start small.. \n\nthat's awesome that you want to run, and i'm sure that with an increased level of fitness the weight will come off\n\ngood luck

It depends on the distance of the race,but as a general rule,take a day or two off before your race and no weight training the week of.One of the absolute best sites for training programs is www.halhigdon.com.Follow his training plans and you WILL get faster.I am a 41 year old female and race past girls half my age!!

As you grow and get bigger and stronger your time will improve. You can also improve your running mechanics.  Work on your start, and work on strengthening your legs.

no.  never heard of anyone doing that.  if you'r ea long distance runner, it might be good, but it will make you weaker if you're trying to be a sprinter/jumper/hurdler

Depends on your muscle mass. It would be nice if you could bench your bodyweight.

I think it does....I started martial arts and being athletic when I was 10. I'm now 5'6 but I'm the shortest in my entire family!! My brother is 6'6....\n\nHowever the answer is No. There are many athletes and bodybuilders who are tall yet started lifting in their teens (for example, Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Michael Vick, Dave Draper and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Weightlifting being a growth stunter is a myth.\n\nThat is absolutely false. It is a complete myth that weightlifting stunts growth.\n\nRunning and jumping alone puts a force more than 5 times a person's weight on one legs. If a man is 200 lbs, he'd have to be squatting more than 1,000 lbs in order to be putting more stress on his legs than regular running or jumping would do. If running or jumping doesn't stunt your growth, neither will doing squats.\n\nWorking out and lifting weights should not affect your reaching your potential genetic height

There is no evidence that weight training will stunt growth.  The theories suggest that heavy weight bearing exercises affect the growth plates of bone, but all are just that...theories and belief and not based on any scientific findings.\n\nStrength training improves the bone mass density of children and teens such as yourself. By exercising at your age, you are giving your bones a head start in the fight against osteoporosis and many other diseases. \n\nScientific findings have clearly established that weight training has a postive effect on bone health, and those who indicate otherwise are only supporting myths.\n\nMy best advice to you is to not overdo it.  Take it easy on the squatting and benching as you do not want an injury that is irreversible or hamper your training ability for life.  Until your body is mature (16+) stay away from power movements (less than 6 reps) and stick to enhancing your strength (8-12 reps) and endurance (15+ reps).  You will then build a solid foundation for technique which you can then advance with power movements later.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/strength_training_children_and_adolescents.shtml

Eat two Big Macs per day.  You will gain weight.

To bulk out in such a short time you'll need to cut out your 'long-distance' running.\nAs I'm sure you're aware you can gain weight quite fast in this time, (and it usually hits the stomach) But to put on this amount in muscle, can take about 5-6 months.\n\nGood luck in your attempts.

No your not, don't take that stuff... is it worth screwing yourself over in the long run... just gain weight the old fashion way... eat eat eat and when you cant eat any more, EAT... eat every chance you can like eight meals a day... they don't even have to be big... and then if you really wanna gain weight you will because you will stick with it!!

Yes.  Assuming your working out, it goes straight to building and repairing muscles, which weigh more than fat, which will cause you to gain weight.  It will probably work even if youre not working out, just more slowly.

You should be OK, listen to your body you may want to cut it a little shorter than 18 miles.If you have been running you really should be OK\n\nPS you might want to ask this question in Diet and Fitness. Most of us runners seem to be there more often than sports.
