Want to make a running group?

gymgirl3590

I am going to start running, I did my first 5k this weekend with my boyfriend (his first too), and we ran it together in a little under 40 minutes. I want to start walking/jogging/running 30 minutes a day hopefully every day (maybe take a day off during the week). I want to focus less on distance, and more on time spent exercising (but I am going to record the distance too).

If anyone else is looking to start trying to run regularly let me know , we can do daily or weekly check ins also let me know if you know the easiest way to track this as a group let me know, I'm still new to using this site.

add me for sure - I just recently started running and am trying to step it up some more... I have signed up for a 15k in November and want to be able to finish it without being worn out as well as keep up with my friends...
I dont know anything about keeping track of a group
but I use runkeeper to log my runs.. it logs distance time elevation and so on - its awesome... it also does split times...

I also listen to Songza - its an app like Pandora or Slacker but there are playlists already made... they have great workout playlists.

I would like to be a part of a running group. I'm a slow turtle runner, but I keep at it. We did our first 5K this past Saturday and loved it!!.

This is cool and so nice of you to offer. I would really be interested in this. I am just getting into power walking/jogging at my trainers recommendation. I keep complaining about my thighs how I would like to see them a little slender and after all we have done, jogging is my problem solver (this will be seen). So count me in. Thanks.:flowerforyou!

There's lots of groups already set up:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/13157-from-plodders-to-sprinters
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/5683-runners

The main thing is making sure the group stays active. I'm always looking to see people's opinions and achievements so I join a few and hope that one of them has activity lol.

If you are looking for a group to go running with and you are in the UK, try looking up your local park run. www.parkrun.org.uk/‎

There are lots around the country and you have people who are really serious as well as those that do it for a bit of healthy fun.

My first (and admittedly only) run (so far) with them was great and when I was ready to give up, there were people around me helping me continue.

I really need to get myself back ot there running, I loved it, but find it hard to get back into after a spell of not going... Maybe I will start my lunchtime runs again next week...
