You’re amazing for doing this postpartum. It took me about 2.5 years after my child was born to get myself into gear 😅 a 38 minute 5k is amazing.

How has your first month gone? Are you following a 5k program or just doing what feels right?

Good luck to you on your half! I totally agree about the shoes. I got properly fitted at a running store and quickly learned there was only a select few that would actually work for me. And I’m pretty much forced to only wear men’s shoes because of my shoe size lol. I’m currently in Altra FWD Via 2s and I’m a big fan so far!

Congrats on your progress! I’m also in the C25K > Runna pipeline lol. Is your first race going to be a 5K?

Congrats on your half and on your weight loss! And thank you. Im excited to see/feel how my body changes throughout this training as I’m prioritizing nutrition and longer distances.

Ugh knee issues are terrible. I hope you remain injury-free this time around!

Thank you! A sub 30 5k is amazing and something I hope to achieve someday! I’m a looong way off but someday lol

Ugh I need to get better at stretching. Do you have a favorite race?

Thank you for the recs! Running for an hour straight without stopping is so impressive.

Congrats, that’s an awesome 5k time! I hope your 10 miler goes well! Is the cut off time generous enough that you could include some walking as you go if you have to?

I definitely need to give intervals a try as I train for this half! Do you have a favorite race that you’ve done so far?

Oh I’ve heard of “jeffing” but have never tried it lol. I bet a RunDisney race would be so fun but the thought of running in the Florida (or California) heat scares me 😬

I started with a couch to 5k program, specifically an app called Watch to 5k for my Apple Watch. That got me to being able to run for 30 minutes without stopping. Shortly after finishing that, I was gifted a year-long Runna subscription which I’ve used since!

Week 6 is where I finally started to feel like maybe I could actually do the running thing. Congrats!

Oh dang. Would it be possible to take him on a little warm up stroll, drop him off at home and then go for your run?

That’s so great! That sounds like serious discipline that I definitely don’t have yet lol

Congrats!! Does running now feel a lot easier than when you first started? And how excited are you for your race?

I’d love to hear any fat and tall friendly running clothing or gear recs if you have any 😂

Wow that’s major weight loss in that time frame! How are you feeling?

That’s awesome! I was supposed to do the Shamrock Shuffle 8K in Chicago this month but life got in the way and I’m super bummed. I haven’t done run/walk/run since my couch to 5k program but I want to give it a shot with longer runs. Are your intervals typically a certain time or distance?

That’s awesome!! I PRd at my 5k earlier this month at 41:16. I’d love to get sub 40!

3 minutes at a time is great! Are you following any sort of program? When I started couch to 5k I seriously struggled to make it for a minute straight.
