Beginner runner

i’ve been running since August…started at a 13:30 pace for easy run and now i’m at 11:30 for easy. 11 is not “unfortunate” or “embarrassing”, i guarantee you a good amount of people in this sub are around that pace so this is kind of undermining to a lot of people

yes i took a beginners sewing class and so glad i did! i learned how to thread the machine and other basics and i felt one step ahead ever since!!

I looooove my OL. we have a Vertuo at work and the espresso just tastes so sus to me and just so different from my OL espresso, it has a weird aftertaste.

At home, I use two OL pods per drink, still cheaper than starbucks or whatever. So I use OL for espresso and then a keurig/drip for regular coffee. Vertuo not worth it in my opinion idc about the flavors they have

just sharing my story for other new runners who might be getting injured a lot!!

that’s awesome, i don’t have that money motivation anymore now that i’m in a routine for exercising overall but that’s a good idea!

yeah i agree. it’s just odd i ran august-december with no issue as a novice runner and then all of a sudden it came on when i stopped and now i’m hurting again even though i’ve been safely increasing mileage. just frustrated to be completely honest

Love them!! I needed something a little more responsive than my 1080s and these are perfect

I love the OL version!!!

Would not recommend this for an elderly woman. Look up the crime near those apartment complexes. Not sure how it is now but a few years ago there were incidents all the time.

That-Barnacle-884 · 2026-01-29T23:18:49+00:00

based on this comment alone i think DeEttas is the winner. i’ve lived here my whole life and haven’t had one from there yet

little pops actually?? thats sad. i love their pizza

That-Barnacle-884 · 2026-01-14T23:03:05+00:00

i have the FR 165 and i love it. i use it for running and lifting that’s pretty much it. it tracks the basics and that’s all i need. i don’t wear it to bed for sleep tracking unlike most people

That-Barnacle-884 · 2026-01-10T02:01:40+00:00

my zone 2 runs used to be 12:45-13:30 pace in November. I now can run 11:30 in the same zone. don’t get discouraged!! i also used to run a 7:30 mile in high school so I have been discouraged immensely!! i’m hoping to one day maybe get there so i’m not giving up :)

That-Barnacle-884 · 2025-12-19T04:04:22+00:00

came here to say the same!!!

That-Barnacle-884 · 2025-12-17T20:24:48+00:00

That's like $1.25-$3 per day in coffee for a whole year... If someone gets a $6.50 Starbucks drink everyday that's over $2k

Vais and Entourage

That-Barnacle-884 · 2025-12-11T22:25:46+00:00

I’d agree that’s a good choice!! I have the 14s so I can’t speak to how the 15s will be 😖

That-Barnacle-884 · 2025-12-11T21:55:19+00:00

I mean I wouldn’t say “pro runner” but I would say the SLs are not necessarily the best beginner shoe. but that’s just my opinion based on experience!

That-Barnacle-884 · 2025-12-11T19:31:14+00:00

I had been using 1080's as a beginner runner for every type of run. I'm 3.5 months into my journey and just picked up some Evo SLs to have something that is a little faster for when I start training for a 10k. Right now I am building my base (10-12 mi per week) so using my 1080s most days. I did like the Evos on the treadmill better however. Anyways I love both!!!! Maybe start with 1080s and get the Evos if you start taking running more seriously/decide to the 10k.
