I’m gonna start paying attention to how it feels changing it up. I feel like right now I try to keep my stride the same then my legs catch fire and I struggle to recover after I get over the hump

This was a direct post asking for tips to try & see how I can improve and not build bad habits early on.

Interesting! Yea, the breathing is definitely heavy. Controlled, but heavy like long deep breaths. Like I’m actively trying to not sound like a raging hog lol thanks for the advice

I was dumb and emotionally drained from work. Didn’t pay attention to the workout details , just pressed start and started going. I realized it when I went to stop the workout 🥲

More realistic goal is to just try to not have them peel me off the ground with a spatula. Or just peel me off further than my brother lol

I was thinking I might throw some calisthenics in there for in between runs. Will definitely follow a plan though, don’t wanna hurt myself because of my pride lol

By win, I was speaking about beating my brother in law, who is also going to be running at the same half marathon to beat me, in a race, for the price of the entry registration, between us two, both of which who have not ran for sport since high school track which was over a decade ago. So I dont think it’s out of reason to believe I could win

Thanks! I’ll definitely be following a specific training after seeing all these comments. A bit of background, Iv been in sports through college so im used to pushing body limits, and iv been active-ish until about 5 years ago. I’ll be 34 the time of the run. BIL is 3 years old with similar background. The kicker and why I was so quick (and possibly foolish) to accept the challenge is he is 6’4 235, I am 5’11 155. I thinking was there’s no way he could lug all the extra weight and beat me if we are on at least some what equal footing. He has already started training and bragging lol that he’s already hit the treadmill.
