    Re: The Running Thread

    I want to get into running but I have no clue where to start.

    I jog here and there in my neighborhood and I've enjoyed it for the most part. But I'd like to take that to the next level to be able to have more stamina when running and to gain more speed.

    Any ideas on how I could get started on this?

            Re: The Running Thread

            Went for a short run down the block today. It's definitely something I enjoy and also helps reduce anxiety. Years ago I ran a lot more but I've fallen off since then. Trying to go at least a few times a week now.

                                I was jogging a trail one day and a strange looking woman asked me what I was running from. I just kept going.

                                            I improved my 5k time from 40 minutes to 34! I think I can break 30 if I really push myself.

                                            Aside from just running more often at a faster pace for as long as possible what are some tips for imrpoving my time? Or is that really all there is too it. I imagine dropping weight will make things easier but I'd like to do what I can now apart from that.

                                                I’m not as fast as I used to be but I can still run a mile in the 6 minute zone.

                                                Controlled Breathing and the tempo of your footsteps helped me a lot.

                                                    The downhill helps, but even then, the grade-adjusted pace (Effort-based pace) doesn't show that I was going much slower than if it were flat. It definitely helps momentum wise though haha.
