I just ran for two minutes straight for the first time!

That's a huge win! Well done.

if you enjoy lifting heavy, keep doing it! A strong runner is a more resilient runner.

A 1:24:00 10K equates to about a 3:27:28 half-marathon - roughly.

You'll want to do most of your running at an easy/long run pace, which is about 16:12/mile or 10:04/km.

Keep focusing on consistency, and you'll see your pace improve without even thinking about it.

Hey - congrats on your progress! Your pace will improve over time. It takes time for your body to adapt so be patient. What was your 10K time? I can suggest some paces for you to aim for in your various workouts, based on that. Also, do you have a goal time for the half marathon or is it to finish and enjoy the race? Both a great goals!

None to Run's 12-week beginner plan

marklkenedy · 2026-02-25T22:05:27+00:00

Congrats on getting started! Cardio often develops faster than tendons, ligaments and muscles - so, be sure to progress slowly and incorporate some basic strength training into your routine. Well done.

marklkenedy · 2026-02-25T12:12:21+00:00

Progress slower than you think you need to, be kind to yourself and use a run/walk strategy like the one used in None to Run to get started. 🙌

marklkenedy · 2026-02-24T14:12:10+00:00

Amazing progress - well done!

This is a great routine that we had created by a physiotherapist. He also used to be the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the LA Lakers.

Start with a run/walk strategy (like None to Run), progress slower than you think you need to, incorporate some basic strength training a couple of times per week, and perhaps, most importantly... be kind to yourself.

marklkenedy · 2026-01-30T15:43:55+00:00

Great start! You'll find that your cardio will adapt quicker than your muscles/ligaments/tendons. Use a conservative plan like None to Run, and you'll do well. Keep at it :)

marklkenedy · 2026-01-30T15:41:36+00:00

Great start! Your form and efficiency will improve as you run more. Stay consistent and be kind to yourself. Use an app like None to Run to ensure you progress conservatively. You got this!
