So happy that today I have managed to do a 10k run and actually got round it by doing just under 10minute miles! It's taken me quite some time (2 years) of plodding along to finally get to that stage but I've beaten the mental block of sitting at a comfortable pace and pushed myself to achieve it.

    That is awesome! I have just started running, and I am beginning to realize how long it is going to take to see big improvements. Looks like you've shown dedication! I hope to get there someday! Congratulations!

    Awesome!!! If your a new runner, I would recommend that you go to a running store. Have someone watch you run so they can fit you if you pronate, supinate or if you have a neutral stride. I am a neutral and I was fitted for the Brooks Ghost 4's and they are WONDERFUL!!!!

    Congratulations! What a great accomplishment. I'm working on a 5k now, so I know it's quite a process. You should be VERY proud!

    Dont give up!!! When you do the 5k and can do it w/o stopping, push yourself for 4, then 5 then 6... onward until you can do a 1/2 marathon (13.1). Once you finish a marathon, it will change your life!!!!

    I love my running shoes, I have Mizuno Wave ones (I forget which number) and been replacing them by going in to the Running shop and saying "can I have another pair of these please!" Due another pair very soon though as I can tell the cushioning isn't quite as it was




    Thank you so much everyone for your replies of encouragement

    Awesome! Running is probably the thing that exasperates me the most (I just seem to run out of breath so quickly!!) so I'm looking forward to something like this in my own future : ) Congrats!
