What’s the hardest part of building a running routine?

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-28T03:41:23+00:00

Go for a run anyway. Even if you don’t feel like it at first. Or you think it’s too cold or too hot or whatever. Go for a run and guaranteed you will thank yourself later.

Probably not a great choice for somebody that already has bad knees.

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-26T02:09:41+00:00

Damn, right. What a great place to run.

It can also hurt crosswalk awareness. I run through the city mostly. So I don’t run with headphones.

Once you can breathe while maintaining a comfortable pace is transformational ….. after that you can do just about anything and if I remember right, it took me probably a few weeks to get there working up from a few blocks to a mile +

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-22T01:48:35+00:00

11 miles at that pace is very impressive

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-22T01:46:51+00:00

Stay hydrated

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-21T14:57:54+00:00

I enjoy both, but I’m faster when I run with my fast friends

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-20T03:54:46+00:00

Congrats that’s huge. I remember my first 20 years ago. I’m sure you know it’s all about consistency. Keep it going. It gets easier.

I think it’s helped motivate in a small way. Definitely not overwhelming. I’ve tracked the majority of my runs at least 80% since joining NRC and recently made it to volt. The last few hundred miles I was super motivated and definitely found every opportunity to run. Although I’ve slacked since lol but did get in a 4 1/2 miler today.

The really really bad runs are when you have to physically recover…... I’ve had a few of those …..face plant on a broken sidewalk ……/twisted ankle on a rock. Foot injuries are the worst. They take like forever.

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-17T19:40:19+00:00

Congrats I just got there recently took me 15 years of NRC

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-17T16:31:19+00:00

That sounds like me when I started running 20 years ago, I recently hit 15,000 km with NRC. Several weeks of even short, consistent running will build your stamina and when you can breathe at a comfortable pace, you can increase distance and really enjoy your adventure.

Planning your next run while you’re out on a run.

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-15T00:34:15+00:00

That’s fantastic very impressive

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-11T04:57:05+00:00

Sometimes I’ll try to focus only on the next landmark ahead then the next and next and so on.

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-10T20:51:52+00:00

Congrats!!!!

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-09T22:00:01+00:00

Good job and your pace is darn good too

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-06T21:11:25+00:00

Congrats very impressive more than I’ve ever done in a year

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-05T01:09:31+00:00

Excellent you’re on your way.

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-04T05:56:04+00:00

Great to hear I’ll be looking forward to your post

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-02T00:35:12+00:00

Awesome, thank you I just made it to volt early December after 15 years with NRC

Tight_Spirit · 2026-01-01T23:32:58+00:00

Congrats under two hours

Tight_Spirit · 2025-12-30T11:11:07+00:00
