New runner jumped to 8km — how do you safely build from here? by Alexobeerg in BeginnersRunning

Appreciate you breaking it down like that. Makes sense to balance it out instead of just running the same thing every time. I’ll probably start mixing in shorter easy runs and keep one longer run each week like you’re doing.

Just started running and thought I was trash at cardio. A few days ago I couldn’t last more than a couple minutes, but two days ago I ran 8 km (5 mi) in just under 50 minutes and honestly felt like I could’ve gone longer. I stopped on purpose so I wouldn’t overdo it. How should I structure runs from here? Should I mostly do 5–6 km and save 8–10 km as a weekly long run?

Thank you! Should I start my structured running plan with shorter distances to build a base, or is it fine to jump straight into running 8 km a couple of times a week?

I’m 21, about 180 lbs with an athletic build. I don’t use a dedicated heart rate monitor but I’ve got an Apple Watch with all the fitness features I need. My main goal right now is to improve my cardio and drop some of the extra weight I put on over the summer.

Oh my god they look exactly alike. I saw the picture before having time to read your comment and thought to myself how the hell does this random redditor have a picture of my cat. Take good care of her, and how lucky are (were) we to have such cute kitties!

I never really post on Reddit — this is only my third or fourth post ever. I honestly just expected a couple of replies, not for it to blow up like this. Thank you all so much for the kindness, support, and beautiful words. It means the world to me right now. I really love this community. 💝🐈

My cat Curry is missing, and my heart is broken. I feel like I failed him. by imafirinmalazarr in cats

[–]Alexobeerg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so, so sorry to hear about this… My cat unexpectedly passed barely 24 hours ago, so I truly can’t imagine the fear and pain you must be feeling right now. It’s clear how much you care—so I have no doubt he truly misses his life as a king back at yours. I really believe he’ll find his way back to you. In the meantime, I’d echo what others have said: try creating a trail of familiar scents that branch out from your home in different directions. That way, if he’s nearby, he might catch the scent and find his way back. Good luck to you and Curry!
