By chance any experienced runners here or people that enjoy it have any tips for a beginner who wants to get into it(I would love to run/jog a 5 and 10k someday) but is currently finding it incredibly boring(I’m a terrible runner as well)? 😅1

I agree with ShowKitten: Couch to 5 K /C25K is a great program to learn to run. I am out of practice at the moment (not running) but learnt to run in 2012 by doing this program - I downloaded a British NHS podcast that used this method and listened to it while I ran.
The program uses intervals, so in the first week’s program you run for a little bit (30 seconds or something), then walk a bit, and basically alternate back and forth between running and walking for the 20 min session. Over the program you slowly increase how much you run, and walk less, until you are able to run continuously for 30 mins (about 5 kilometres distance).
It was seriously eye opening for me as I’d never been able to run before in my life, and the first day I tried the program I felt really awful (out of shape, uncoordinated, embarrassed) but in the space of about 8 weeks of following the program I was able to run the distance continuously comfortably. It felt amazing to see so much improvement in a short time.
Info is available free online, and if you do a podcast version while running then you don’t have to time anything yourself, the podcast will tell you when to run and when to walk (and the one I used also gave some running tips about breathing, cramps, etc), so it really is foolproof.
In terms of boredom, this is part of the reason I fell out the habit of running once I had learned how to do it - while learning how to do it was challenging and not boring, I am not sure how to keep it interesting once you can run a steady 5-10k. I switched up running podcasts, trying different music and presenters, but didn’t find the answer for myself before a minor injury had me fall out of running.1 -

You are in the right place!! @SapanPan is in IronMan training. @ssummerlin80, @boehle, @reginadhedden and I all run. If I have left someone out, speak up and I apologize.
@boehle, @reginadhedden and I are on a Run The Year team - we are teamed to run 2019 miles before 12/31. We are over 900 miles currently. I am in 3rd place
We have done 5s, 10s, 15s, and a half marathon.
We are not fast... but not last!!!!
My advice is get out and run. Listen to your body and do what you can. If you need to walk - walk! You got this!0 -

I was off to a rough start with my weigh in on the first (Monday's), I gained .2 lbs since the weigh in the week prior. But unlike myself I weighed myself this morning and have lost that and a little more to boot. GO ME!!!
My week has been tough; i returned from my vacation in Vegas on Tuesday; same afternoon, I ended up putting my kitty to sleep, so it's been a really, really hard time....trying to get through day by day....
I am so sorry to hear about your kitty. Pets are such big members in any family. Sending hugs and hoping you continue on your journey to better health.1 -

Am a little annoyed with myself as on Friday I was at a new low of 229.3lbs but let things slip a little on the weekend - didn't get any exercise and went a little off my diet - so put 1.1lbs on in the last 3 days. At least it is still a net loss since last weigh-in day.2 -
