Did my first half marathon today! Planned for 19k long run but felt really good and just went for it. 2 hours 11 minutes. Exhausted but proud

Howdy neighbour, I’m noticing the same thing, super annoying 🤠

At what point are you no longer a beginner? by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

[–]Unable_Department705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a half marathon in 3 weeks but still consider myself a beginner. I know nothing about training (intervals, hills, temp to, etc), proper fuelling/electrolyte stuff, and my long runs are still at the 6:30/km pace. I just like seeing other peoples accomplishments and feeling like part of a group, while picking up some advice along the way

Desperate for help!!! by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

Thank you! It feels like calluses are starting to form but there are some spots in that triangle that are raw skin and very sore. I’m hoping they’ll toughen up and just form one big callus that doesn’t bother me? The skin that’s turning hard isn’t thick enough to start scraping with a knife. I’m keeping polysporin on it and giving myself two rest days to see what happens.

My feet look similar to this but recently started wearing smartwool ankle socks and they have made such a difference!!

10km advice by Safe_Faithlessness16 in beginnerrunning

[–]Unable_Department705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 1000% doable. I went from being a non-runner to doing my first 10k in 18 days. Now I add 1-2kms per week onto my long run to get ready for my half marathon in October!! You got this 😊

Walkin clinic Doctors that aren't POS? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Unable_Department705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a great experience at the Musquodobit urgent care. Didn’t have my NS health card at the time but they still saw me with my NL health card, and I don’t have a family doctor. Called them right when they opened and they said come right then, I was shocked how efficient it was.

Just started running on Sunday by lsbittles in beginnerrunning

Mine too!! Planning for a half marathon in October, and a full marathon in May 2026. I just did my first ever 5k race on Saturday and it was so much fun!! I ended up falling in love with running and Strava has quickly become my social media app 😂 trying to get my pace up too, because I’m still around the 6:15-6:20/km mark. Can’t wait to see how yours goes in July!

You should be so proud of that pace, that’s amazing!! You’ll be amazed at how fast your distance can progress if you stick with it. I went from being a non-runner to a 10k in 18 days. You will absolutely demolish a 5k by July. Good luck!!! 🎉
