Get Running Forums

SkiPixie Had the same issue, could not do the 5-8-5 on my first attempt. Had to go back two days later and try again....bad days, bad runs - I think they are just part of running. Keep at it and you shall get there, according to everyone on the forums. I have my 10-10 tomorrow morning and am trying ...

Matt - the stretching app that I downloaded is Stretch Guru Run ( I believe) it was a free one It allows you to set a custom series of stretches or there is a set plan - has certainly worked for me W6R1 COMPLETED....ok, it took two attempts but there was a hangover involved at the first attempt :lol:

Ok - there is that great thread of 'I DID IT"s that I read in the days leading up to today's W5R3....and I DID IT - kinda??? Where are the rest of the people who did not run the greatest 20 mins??? Am I the only one?? I made it through the first 10 minutes all right, dropped the speed from 4.4 ...

Angus - I recently downloaded a stretching app onto my phone. I was never good about stretching properly, could never remember which stretches to do or how long to hold them for. The app has been great - shows a pic of the stretch and times it for you. I have seen a huge improvement in my muscles si...

Ok Treadmill runners, I need some help. I am completely hopeless with distances, speeds, etc and have I no idea if I am slow, really slow or barely moving! HA And on top of matters, my treadmill is in miles and I think in kms! My 'walk' speed is 3.3 miles or 5.3 km My 'run/jog' speed is 4.4 miles or...

I was the exact same way - W4R1 - had trouble last 2 mins W4R2 - had trouble for the whole run W4R3 - no issues what so ever!!! Repeated W4R3 - no issues again! W5R1 - DID IT THIS MORNING!!! Just keep at it. I needed the confidence booster of repeating the 3rd run again and am so glad that I did. KE...

I hear you SkiPixie - today was W5R1 and I have only done my runs on my treadmill. However, this weekend I was speaking with my SIL who is a great runner, has done a marathon etc. and she let me know she started running the same was we are - on a graduated program - and she did all her runs on a tre...

I DID IT!!!! Whooo - W4R3 start to finish with no breaks or stopping, no walking during runs... WHOOOOO! After runs 1 & 2 I was starting to doubt myself but I just took each 3 and 5 min runs as one run and got through them. So so happy Yes, I am still going to repeat the week, get all three runs...

Thanks Ambrose I did W4R2 today and it again was not that great - actually worse then Monday's run!! I did not stop but I certainly walked moments of each run. I just did not have any power to me today. Now when I think back to the past couple of days I think that I have not had enough protein, and ...

Well I did W4R1 this morning...and I am not happy! I have had a pretty easy time of it until now, running on a treadmill. I have been so surprised that I have actually been able to do this. I have also been walking 30 minutes at a brisk pace (3.4 mph) the non-running days and doing a one hour pilate...
