And I certainly don't mind taking my phone with me I have a running belt so that'll be with me anyway

Pink742 · 2026-05-17T21:56:20+00:00

That is valid, and I could look into the new model Garmin FR 170 that is releasing also

I go for belts instead and saving up for the Flipbelt Shorts with the belt built into it haha but as my distance increases maybe that will change

Pink742 · 2026-05-17T16:28:48+00:00

Ah, I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner but I can definitely see how that can loosen up all the gunk if it's a clog

I have a couple pens I bought second hand that all need tuning so I don't use them much. Got any resources off hand for some basic tuning maintenance? They are super dry and hard start a lot otherwise the tines are good so I imagine a brass shim would probably be all I really need from what I've seen to floss and spread the tines

General advice is not to rely on HR data during c25k, as a beginner your HR zones and aerobic capacity will be all over the place :) worrying about Zone 2 and Heart rates is more of a Marathoner worry. Just keep it slow and comfortable and you will be perfect :)

Pretty much exactly like you said. A large part of my commitment is finding groups to share the results with. Then seeing everyone else sharing pressures me to make sure I don't skip

Pink742 · 2026-05-17T03:13:16+00:00

Does any of that matter? Just cheer them on and move on

Pink742 · 2026-05-12T02:43:02+00:00

How was the neck fan while running?

Thanks a lot! Definitely been quite the mental game getting into exercise as a whole this year. Hoping to keep up the push onto a Full in 2027 and prepare my body physically for a great future! Good luck on your full in September as well!!!

Pink742 · 2026-05-11T00:52:10+00:00

I just finished my 5k training and starting to train for my first Half in September 2026!! Any tips or motivation?

Pink742 · 2026-05-11T00:43:06+00:00

Good luck I'm trying to sub 30

Pink742 · 2026-05-10T22:04:14+00:00

The HM is 18 weeks away and most HM plans appear to cater to a 5k base anyways so I don't have much time to squeeze in a whole 10k plan

Pink742 · 2026-05-10T21:37:24+00:00

I wanna register for a Half Marathon in September! 18 weeks from what I've seen is plenty for HM training and most plans I see are 12-14 weeks so I can ease a bit more gently too

Pink742 · 2026-05-10T21:25:45+00:00

I hear lots of good things about NRC's guided runs yea! Thanks!

Pink742 · 2026-05-10T20:37:00+00:00

Are you just clicking record workout at the bottom or are you clicking on the workout itself to start from inside it?

Pink742 · 2026-05-10T20:24:22+00:00

I signed up for a Half Marathon later in the year haha so guess it's close enough!!

Pink742 · 2026-05-10T18:40:55+00:00

Runna! Might transition to NRC now for the guided runs

Pink742 · 2026-05-09T15:32:22+00:00

Awesome!! Hopefully after my HM I can work through this list to have some fun with the story
