Get Running Forums

Hi guys just thought I'd revisit you all, it's been a while. Today May 13th 2012 I ran my first ever 10k doing the Blackpool 10k in 62 mins 47 secs. This would never have happened without the Get Running app and to you the other app users and the owners of the site I will be forever thankful. I now ...

Name: Jim Ashall Location: Widnes, Cheshire, UK Age: 48 years Finished: 28th November 2011 Never in a million years did i ever think i would complete this programme and be able to run for 30 mins and more Next goals: 5k in under 29 mins regularly, did it once but nearly did myself in! Slowly, slowly...

Jules, just take the app one day or run at a time. Don't be afraid to go back a week and re-do days, as the saying goes 'its not a race' and before long you will be thinking how the hell did i run for 5, 10, 20 and then 30 mins withour stopping.

Guys let me share something with all of you!! Last year on the 18.10.2010 i made a decision to challenge myself. This challenge was to lose 60lbs in weight and to become more active and healthy. When i jumped on the scales i was horrified to see the digital dial scream 360.2lbs, oh sh--t i thought!...

Mike shoes could have been the problem but not how you think! When i started i was wearing any old trainers i had, so i went and had my gait analised and bought myself a pair of New Balance supportive running shoes. Now here came the problem, when i run i over pronate according to the guy in the sho...

Come on Amy don't keep us waiting, how did the run go and what was your time?

Mike thanks for the reply it's great when people come back with positive encouragement. I think I just needed a kick up the backside so I had a chat with a mate who is an avid runner. He put a few pointers to me which gave me a lot more belief in myself and my running/jogging. I did the 25 min run a...
