April Running Challange

bkbenda

I'm in for 110 miles again. Going for focus on speed this month.

Good luck everyone!

I'm in for this! I've just recently caught the running bug, and ran my first 5K race on Saturday. Training for a 10K in May so will be upping the distance and time on the road.

I've set my target to 65miles

Ticker won't work on the ticker website - don't know what I'm doing wrong!

Fixed it

Sounds awesome, I have to work up to running but sounds awesome, would love to see how many miles I can do in a month even if I don't get to 130. Maybe I will lower the mileage so I don't feel bad towards the end of the month, I can always adjust it later on if I hit my goal right?

Edited to add:

"For the newbies-Did the scale go up at first? I do not have any weight to lose but inches to tone up overall. However, one week into running 3-4 miles 3x's a week and the scale is up and pants are tight! I know this is probably normal. But when did it even out for you?"

If you are new to an exercise you will retain water for muscle repair. Its completely normal. It should even out as you get used to the exercise.

I'm in for the April challenge. Managed to pass my 60 mile goal for March! Going to stick at 60 miles again as I have a holiday over Easter and will be having a few days off so will pick up the extra distance during the days I will be running.

Good luck everyone!

I'm ready! I only got 21 in last month but I'm training for a 10k now so hopefully I can get up to at least an average of 1 a day (to keep the doctor away)

Day 1 - 2.33 Miles

I would do this if I had a treadmill at home. I have to go to the gym of a hotel most days and don't want to seem suspicious going in too often. The gym I have a membership at is an hour from my home so I have to take the train there and can only go once a week.

I'm in for 30 miles. Lower goal this month because for half the month I'll be away from home and I hope to transition off the treadmill. On my off running days I strength train and once the weather warms up I'll strength train/cycle.

I'm going to double my last month's mileage (joined late!) so aim to run 50 miles. I want to be able to run a half marathon by May, though haven't entered one. Just want to up my mileage as that seems to be the only thing that will shift weight from my hefty thighs

Day 1 - 1.40 miles

Can you run outside in a park or greenway or some route that has the milage marked off or predetermined?

I use an app on my phone called runtastic. The app uses the gps on my phone so as I am running, it tells me how far and how fast I ran. That is how I normally keep track of my milage. There are other apps that you can download onto your phone that do the same thing. I just happened to use runtastic. But endomondo, mapmyrun, runkeeper... they all do pretty much the same thing, then you won't need a treadmill.

the second image tag needs a forward slash like this >> / not the back slash like you have.
And you are missing the [ img] that goes just before the .png link

Congrats on your 100 mile goal - sounds like you are well on your way. As far as the ticker, use a FORWARD SLASH rather than a Back Slash on your closing img argument... ''

Hello! I can always use an extra layer of accountability! I used to run 3 miles/day several days a week, job change killed that. I'm now aiming to run 2-3 days a week mixing it up with an abs dvd that I like, but is a bit too much to do every day of the week. So....that being said, I'm aiming for a goal of 25 miles this month. I'd love to do 30...who knows? Nice to meet you!
