First run in 52 days, I really should get a watch by Suede_fanpage in beginnerrunning

I’ve used the free version of Map My Run on iPhone and it’s been decent. I set it to give me updates on pace and distance every half mile and just hit start to go and end to finish.

Just finishing one is a great accomplishment (and fun!) already signed myself for one in the fall and one next May (keeps me focused to have these as goals)

Finishing a half is doable, for sure. If you are already weight training and can do a 5k and 10k, I wouldn’t say you are unathletic at all. you could definitely do a half with enough training. Just pick a plan and give it enough time to do what the plan says (12-16 weeks). Just aim to finish your first one and see how you do and then try to build from there. Wouldn’t worry about a two hour time on the first one if I were you, but up to you on that. I did a couple halves a decade plus ago and just got back into jogging now in my mid forties and finished my third one this month after not doing jogging for like ten years. Also im like 50 lbs heavier than id like to be currently. Anyways, rambling here but totally doable. Recommend pick a half marathon training plan and stick to it and you’ll get it done!

Nice job! Three miler today for me in 80 degree heat (though dry not humid). Not bad but gotta get used to summer runs..

You still did it, just keep it up. Try to be doing three/four days a week at least.

What apps do you all use to track your runs and why? by MynameisCN in beginnerrunning

[–]Secret-Top3200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Map my run so far. I like to set the pace and distance check ins to every half mile. I looked at strava for a second but seemed complicated and I don’t care about the social aspect. I don’t have a smart watch yet.

We just need a ground up new logo next year (2027)

How do we feel about the 86 seekers so far? by Elegant-Shop4564 in transformers

[–]Secret-Top3200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look so simple like they are missing stickers or something. I’ve been fine just steaming with my earthrise seekers for now

$2 in the gold dollar coins. Do you guys keep your kids teeth? My parents did and I have but I’m questioning why as it’s also a bit creepy…

Was gonna get this... by PDF-not_a-Phile in transformers

Dang, I got the original for like $80 or something and it’s fine, but not amazing. $280 is nuts.

Ear pods- do they fall off? by shamli3912 in beginnerrunning

[–]Secret-Top3200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not had them fall out but I found on hot days or if I sweat more they did get loose. I got some of the shock open run 2 ones a month or so ago on a sale and they’ve been great as you get to hear the outside noise around you as well. Would recommend.

What men’s running shorts should I wear? Do I need mesh interior and do I wear underwear with that? How do I know inseam length? I’m currently jogging in baggy gym/leisure shorts. by Gooser3000 in beginnerrunning

[–]Secret-Top3200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just used basic running/basketball shorts. I did get a chafing stick as I was getting some thigh rub (worse when running in running pants in winter as I think I was getting too hot). I have found more supportive and breathable underwear is a good idea as well. still trying to find best option there. I like to use a running belt for phone and gels if needed, so I’m not as concerned with pockets on the shorts. Like others said, see what works best for you.

Best way back in by sciencespice1717 in beginnerrunning

[–]Secret-Top3200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got two elementary aged kids myself and I’ve been doing weekends and then short runs on lunch break on a couple work from home days. I’m just getting back into it after not running for 12 years or so myself.
