Get Running Forums

W7R2 completed. Ran as soon as i got home, we have a wicked storm heading our way and wanted to beat the thunderstorms. Warm and humid now, to change to freezing by the weekend. I am hoping that at some point running becomes something enjoyable. Are yall enjoying yourselves? Is this just a mental hu...

W7R1 done. My pace slowed a bit? Didnt make it as far, but made it without stopping and thats what i'm focusing on.

I also shorte...

I did it! W5R3! I did something that really helped me. I downloaded music that matched my pace, something brisk but not too fast for the warm up and then something quicker for the 20 minutes of running (about 150 beats per minute, is the perfect pace for me) then something slower but fun for the coo...

Just finished w5r2 and I had to check the app to make sure I hadn't chosen the wrong week. I am scared to death about r3 this week. Please post how you did.
