CALLING ALL RUNNERS!

I'm a runner.

All my PRs are from last year at 52-53 years old.
Mile - 5:54
5k - 20:10
Half Marathon - 1:35:25
Marathon - 3:32:12

Right now I am just base training using the Maffetone method for the next several months. Hopefully this will set me up for better PRs this coming year. My weekly schedule looks generally like this:
Su - 6 mi
Mo - 10 mi
Tu - 14 mi am, 6 mi pm
We - 6 mi
Th - 12 mi, sometimes a second run of 6 mi
Fr - 6 mi
Sa - 14 to 20 mi

New runner here

Ran my first 5k on Dec 1st in 27:23
My goal for my first 10k on Jan 1st is 60:00

I plan to run my first half and full marathon next year. Please add me as well. I would love the feedback of more runners!

I have a half marathon, 10K, and 10 miler all setup for the Spring (2013) season and expect to lower these times significantly, but here are my current PRs. My marathon is my most recent race.

5K - 25:09 (May 2009) - Haven't run one since '09
5Miler - 37:09 (May 2012)
10K - 51:09 (June 2012)
HM - 2:00 (Oct. 2009)
Marathon - 3:33 (Oct. 2012)

I typically run between 4-6 miles 4-5 times / week, and one day usually between 7-10 miles. My pace is usually around the 8:40s but I go slower and faster, depending on the weather and how I feel. Also, depending on what I'm training for -- I'll add in a day of interval work, or hill repeats.

I'm a pretty average runner, but dedicated (my PRs are on my profile).

I'm working through injuries right now, but average 1000 miles a year +/-

Feel free to add me if you see fit

With that marathon time you should kick the heck out of all those other PRs you got! that is a real good marathon time :happy:

love to run! hopefully doing a half marathon this year! anyone have tips on decreasing min per mile?

more miles, more miles, more miles

lots of easy miles (just don't ramp up too fast)

Not a runner yet... but I just ran outside for the 1st time ever tonight & im feeling pretty chuffed with myself for making a start hoping to turn it into a regular habit too

I'm a runner. I don't run tons of races, I just like to run & I like running trails. My ave 5k is around 21:xx & marathon pr is 3:56.

I started running last November/December (had never been a runner before). I've ran between 5-10 5Ks and two 10Ks now.

I've been slacking on running lately due to it being cold and not wanting to wake up & go so early. But, my normal running routine is usually about 4-5 days a week with anywhere from 25-40 miles per week.

whoah I thought I was a runner cuz I love to run. But now I see folks PRS and I'm like "uh, i'm a jogger perhaps"

I recently did a half marathon and did it in 2 hours 15 mins (or so)... I felt like I walked away VICTORIOUS because i did, in fact, walk away (as opposed to wobble, limp, cry, or hop).

also, I didn't train for that. I can't fit in many long runs into my life...so I do lots of short runs and try to run often.

I'm one of those weightlifters, too.

ETA: ok my thing was actually two hours and 19 mins. But that includes letting my dog pee multiple times....so I think it probably was more like 2:17 LOL. smh is my competitiveness showing?!?!?

I'm adult onset runner turned crazed running addict. I'm 10.5 years in. Training for my 26th marathon, but half marathons are my favorite. 5Ks are my least favorite = too damn painful for my tastes.

I run ~ 45 - 50 miles per week all year along. Lots of easy miles aside from speedwork once or twice a week.

From my profile:

5K = 19:49 (6:22 avg pace) July '07
half marathon = 1:28:48 (6:47 avg pace) June '11 (gravity assisted course)
full marathon = 3:21:11 (7:41 avg pace) Dec '07
50K (31 miles) = 4:46:02 - Feb '09

I'm a 33 year old runner.

I started running 5 years ago, at the time I was 130 heavier.

PR's
Mile=8:30
5K =27
10K =61
1/2 marathon =2:20
Marathon =4:51

I've ran 4 marathons, 4 halfs, 2 10k's and tons of 5k's I'm running the Fargo Marathon in May and hope to drop below the 4:30 mark.

Fellow runners feel free to add me.

I have been running for two years when I got severely injured. I ran 5 km in 25 minutes or so back then.

Today, I can only swim!

Any advice for going back on the road with a teared medial collateral ligament? I did a lot of physio and I should be allright to run as in January.

I just started running in Jan. after being obese and not into any type of athletics or sports until now. I am 56 yrs and now run on the treadmill 5-6 days a week plus I do an hour of pool exercise everyday. I started with a C25K program and now I run between 6 and 7 MPH and usually run 6.5 miles in an hour. I have run on an outside track a few times usually at 6MPH. I prefer inside as it is consistant and I don't worry about the weather, which keeps me in my daily routine

I've recently become addicted to running, add me if you'd like more friends.
I started with the C25k program late this summer. I run 3 x's a week (sometimes 4 x's). In early November, I did a 4k Tap N Run race (beer run), followed a week later by a Disney 5k.
I have been having issues with pain in my legs. So I have been taking time off (and therefore decreasing my mileage). But I'm still hurting. I just found out yesterday that I have shin splints. So I have to take another two weeks off. So I'm currently having a lot of runner's envy.
I do have a Glow 5k scheduled for next month, and then a Best Damn Race 10k in early Feb. And the week after that I am doing the Rock N Roll Half Marathon.
When I signed up for the Half Marathon, I knew I'd have to walk a very large portion of it. (I just did it more for the fun of it.. as the races are fun and this one seemed like a lot of fun. And besides, it ends across the street from my house. Score! ). But at this rate, it sounds like I'm going to have to be walking a lot during ALL of these upcoming races.
