    Man i hadnt been able to go on my run til today. I took a route with a couple hills and a small bridge which ended up being a mistake cus I was dying goin uphill on that last bridge. Wanted to do 3 miles but ended up gettin a pain on my left knee when I hit the 2 mile mark. Never had that before, hope it's no biggie. Anyways these were the results

    [​IMG]

    I was content except for the knee thing. I was hoping I wasnt over 10 min/mi pace so I was happy with that. Still have some work to do tho. Imma set a goal to get down to an 8 min flat pace by my bday aug. 29th :drake3:

    hit 4 miles on the dot in 28 mins on sunday (outside)...i won't complain considering i only ever run 2-3 miles and have no idea what my pace is.

    been doing a lot of HIIT lately, prolly paying off. hit .85 miles in a 5 min treadmill trial the other day.

    Glad to hear your race went well! It looks like it was fun. You still beat my times when you were hurt :'(

    Didn't know you were so young, I always kinda thought you were around my age haha

    Nice run! Keep it up. That's a good pace for not running in a while
    Went on a liking spree for all the new posters in this thread since it's been more active lately :dance:

    Went for a run a 6pm Friday night, park was empty as f---, maybe 5 - 6 people total there, a fog covering the area and the spotlights on the top oval turned off. I felt there was a good chance I could have been killed that night.
    Picture doesn't do justice for the eerie feeling that night

    Hit a little over a mile before going out with my family from London last night. First time I've ran in a few weeks. I play ball 2-3 times a week so I'm not really out of shape, but I could be better. @Loyalty your 100 like offer still on the table?

    It's a pretty good area plus I normally run with my dog so it makes it a little safer anyway. I'm thinking of putting a petition together to see if it's possible to get the lights to stay on later. But until then I'll be making sure I run while the sun is still up.

    Any advice for a beginner in the half marathon? I've been running 3 years competitively (XC & Track) since my freshman year in high school (I'm a senior starting august) so I got all the basics like pacing down and what not but I was wondering if there are any half marathoners who got any more advice.

    I don't have any personal experience or help but I do enjoy r/running to see what other people have to say. There is also r/advancedrunning which may help.


    Please with myself today. Was not feeling like going out but I got my a--- up and did it anyway, added an extra 1km - 2km onto my run.

    Hi fellow runners! I've been trying to run more consistently lately.. I started the Whole 30, and I'm on day 10. I'm also trying to hit 10,000 steps everyday of this Whole 30 and run at least 15 times in the 30 days.

    So far I've run 6 times in 10 days. The runs aren't that great though, 1-3 miles each and a pretty meh pace. I think the Whole 30 is definitely taking its toll on my body. I needed to do it though, I was eating way too crappy and snacking way too much. Also I think I am officially done drinking soda! I haven't had it in 10 days and I feel fine. Been drinking the Dasani sparkling water and it's great. I'm not really trying to lose weight or anything, just kinda reset my body and lose the craving for eating crappy foods I don't need. Working so far!
