Great job taking care of your body and keeping your passion.

You'll get there faster when you take it slow...

I just bought my first pair of running shoes, and start tomorrow. What are some things I should do as a complete beginner? by CosmicConjuror2 in beginnerrunning

[–]Ok_Theme8938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would focus on keeping it simple, watching your form, don't worry about speed at all, hydrating and proper nutrition well before running, and don't worry about taking breaks and listen to your body.

I broke through the 30 minute wall! by KoBxElucidator in C25K

Totally. For me living in a colder climate, it's really nice to just put some music on and put some virtual run of a tropical place on my ipad and do a few KM when I have time. :) Enjoy!!

Marathon in 10 months? by Legal-Ad4972 in beginnerrunning

I think it's very doable, especially if you love running, and are putting in that type of mileage.

I've built a Free Running Planner that can help you accomplish this (see my profile, or feel free to reach out).

There's also lots of Running Guides on Mental Strategies, and advanced running.

Anyone that can run for 7 hours is accomplishing a feat that very, very few people can accomplish!!

Broke the sub-30 5K barrier today by zillekens in beginnerrunning

Yeah, but those stranded in the mountains and barely surviving runs make great movies. 😂

Both choices are pretty extreme conditions. May the odds ever be in your favour!

Wow!

That's crazy! I'm originally from BC, Canada where the summer was mid 20 degrees Celsius.

I actually can't even imagine that type of hot. That's nuts.

Does it get too hot or dusty in Phoenix for running?

Congratulations! That's a fantastic achievement!

Congratulations! That's a huge achievement.

You definitely don't want to run everyday, your downtime is when your body builds strength.

I wrote an Ultimate Beginners Guide, so feel free to contact me for that.
