Re: Distance run in 30 minutes

You're doing fine! Honestly, I've been running for three years now and I still take 30 minutes to do 2 miles. :lol: I'm just not built for speed! And that's okay! As long as you're going out there and putting in the effort, it doesn't matter how fast you are.

Re: Viewing a completed workout?

Unfortunately, Get Running doesn't have GPS, and there is no way to view a completed workout. If you select a completed run, you may choose to repeat it, but that's all. However!

Re: What type of running shoes should I buy?

Go to a proper running shop and get fitted. They will do a gait analysis and let you try out the shoes on a treadmill so that you can get the perfect fit. I didn't know I had low arches until I went in for a fitting: my New Balance 940s have now become like family. :lol:
