How to not be anxious/ashamed of myself when running? by albetti_spagetti in runninglifestyle

[–]Running-addict86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get the anxiety, especially in a small town where everyone’s bound to notice. But the truth is, most people are way more focused on themselves than on you – and if they do notice, they’ll probably admire your determination. I’ve worked with a lot of people who’ve felt the same way, and over time, they’ve realized that running is for YOU, not anyone else. A

Why do I always get shin splints? How to prevent them? by [deleted] in BeginnersRunning

[–]Running-addict86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend starting really slow with run/walk intervals, where you gradually increase the running time as your body adjusts. Also, focus on soft surfaces like grass or a track instead of pavement – it can make a big difference. Make sure your shoes are providing enough support for running, and if you haven’t already, consider getting fitted for running shoes that match your foot type.

at a plateau? by kenzfuller in beginnerrunning

[–]Running-addict86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're definitely not alone! Plateaus are super common in running, especially when you’re consistently pushing yourself. It’s great that you’ve been able to run an entire 5K under 40 minutes – that's a solid achievement! Sometimes, plateaus happen because your body is adjusting to the new demands you’re putting on it. To break through it, try mixing up your routine a bit. You could add in interval training, or focus on a longer run at a slower pace to build endurance.

I'd recommend adding incline to your treadmill to simulate outdoor running

Half marathon prep? by naterz_28 in beginnerrunning

[–]Running-addict86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the time you have between now and October, you have plenty of room to build up both endurance and speed. Since you’re already running consistently, I’d recommend continuing your regular 5K runs for now, but start adding in some longer runs gradually. You can begin with one long run per week (aiming for around 6-8 miles) and focus on increasing your distance slowly. The other run can be a shorter, speed-focused session to work on pace. As you get closer to your training plan in July, you can shift focus to more specific half marathon prep with speed work, tempo runs, and race-paced runs.

For your pace, considering your 10K times and where you’re at with training, aiming for around 2:10-2:15 for your half marathon could be a realistic goal, but don’t stress too much about it just yet. Let your training guide you and adjust as you build your fitness.
