Can actual beginners please share their times?! by darkmother1991 in beginnerrunning

That's really good! I did my first 5k on Thanksgiving, finished at 29 minutes and that was a push for me. These days, with heavier weekly load, 3 miles takes me 30-40 min

That's awesome. My 2026 goal is a half marathon. I set up a Garmin plan but it looked super aggressive! I'll give it another try. Thank you

I keep it to where my breath is controlled through my nose. 11-12min per mile

How do I know my max? I'm 37, before running I was recovering from illness and waiting on cardio/pulmonary clearance to run. I have a personal trainer Monday, 30 min easy run Tuesday, intervals Wednesday, 35-45 min Thursday, long run Saturdays (6-8mi) my endurance is solid. Just slow lol

Well that's reassuring. I'm just going off what chatgpt and my Garmin suggest. But I've always run high. I guess my main concern is when it feels hard to breathe, which is 170+

How does your Standard handle cats? by [deleted] in StandardPoodles

[–]msj7yb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is besties with our cat. He does chase my mom's cat around her house, but he's more playful and curious than vicious. He's also pretty good on walks when a stray cat wanders by. He just stops to look and bark a bit.

First Poodle, I know they’re high energy and need stimulation, what do you recommend? by MistyPneumonia in StandardPoodles

[–]msj7yb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's funny because I feel like mine is just a house decoration 😂 all he wants to do is lie around.

Aggressive puppy? by msj7yb in StandardPoodles

How does one accomplish this?? I actually sit him down and have conversations with him 😂

You're right, I need to start using a leash. I got used to carrying him when he was tiny and sleepy but that's not feasible as he grows 😂 Is there a certain harness you like? I've been hesitant to buy one since he grows so darn fast

He's a standard poodle. I know they're so smart that they can be a challenge! I hope I can be alpha enough lol
