Some of you are such inspirations. I do my 6 miles and I am huffing and puffing when I'm done. To think of doing 9 miles makes me break out in hives. I guess I just have to keep going. Question though, for those who run in colder weather, I see the weather changing here in CT, I know I need to get some cold weather clothes to wear, can I find them on amazon? Under armor brand perhaps? Any cheaper ones? I don't have that much money to spare :grumble: Also, any tips in helping a *somewhat* newbie increase her endurance and reduce her time? I've always been a fast walker, didn't like jogging as much. I started picking up my pace in August and I've seen some changes but I still have to take a couple minutes rest after about 3 miles and then jog the last 3 miles without stopping. I want to increase my pace and reduce my time. Tips appreciated. Sorry for the long post0

I get target brand for cold weather and layer. For getting faster for a beginner, my opinion is that it is best to slowly build up the weekly mileage and things will fall into place (speed & endurance). You may want to tackle hills to make things more interesting. Also from a personal experience try not to do too much too soon, e.g., increase both distance and work on intensity(hills) at the same time... Otherwise you may injure yourself.0 -
I live in Saskatchewan and it gets really cold in the winter! Layering is your best bet. I splurged last year and got some fleece lined winter running pants from the running room. I love them, but I think they were 120$.0

i would suggest that you gradually increase milage. slow down a little if you need to, but run further. i've found that the more slow miles i log, the faster my body is able to go when i want to pick up the speed on shorter runs. after you build a nice comfortable number of base miles (8-10) you can throw in some hill training and interval training to help increase speed. best wishes!0 -
