Awesome... keep it up and you'll get even better times!!
I am starting to discover the same thing. I could barely run a minute before having to stop since I was totally winded and a few weeks in and I'm slowing improving that. And I found out that I LOVE it!! Love the feeling after a few miles!0 -
That's awesome!!!! I want to run too but afraid too.... I am hoping to get there!!!

I did the same thing about a year or so ago. I was told to slow down so I could get to a mile, and it worked. Even after knee surgery 4 months ago, I am now able to run 3 miles.
If you need any running advice let me know. I have runner friends all around supporting me!0 -
Thats excellent! Way to go!!0

That is fantastic!!! Keep it up. I have asthma and on a whim decided I was going to jog longer than the usually 5 minutes intervals I usually do and I went for a full 30 minutes! I couldn't believe it. And since discovering that I actually could go that long I have tried to do it at least 2-3 times a week in hopes that someday I will be able to run 5k's or longer. You should feel so proud!!!0

That's awesome! That's a great way to work your way up.0

Yeah, tonight was great. I had only been getting to 3 minutes before I couldn't go any longer, but then tonight at 3 minutes I felt great, so I aimed for 5. I alternate run/walk. After 30 minutes of alternating I just felt great, so I decided to go for an hour. That last 5 min run was tough, but I held on til the end! Happy girl. 0

That's excellent! I also started running about 2 months ago. I always hated running. In school I always walked the mile instead of run. Now I find that I actually look forward to it and that it makes my day so much better. Keep up the good work!0

Awesome!! It's a great feeling seeing how you've improved.0

That is awesome! That is how I started four years ago. It just takes baby steps and they lead into more. I never thought I could run more than a 5k. I have ran many half marathons and a few full marathons. It started with just running 5 minutes at a time. Great job.0

yay! ive just noticed the same thing.....was only able to run about 13 mins max in a row about a month ago and today i did 25 mins...yay...good feeling a!0

Great job!! Keep it up and before you know it we'll see you running the next 5K...

Way to go! Just wanted to let you know that your post is truly motivating to me. I just started and can't run at all. I thought my 3 min run this morning was going to kill me. Your success is wonderful and inspiring.0

It makes me even happier to know that I have inspired or motivated even one person! If I can do it, so can you! 0

Go you! I'm working on it. I only started Monday though. Never thought I'd try running but I'm damn tired of being fat.0

Thanks to all of you for being so inspiring. I have dreams where I'm running long distances and it feels so good, but when I try to run I get so short of breath after about 15 houses (I keep track in houses...add one more 'house' of distance each time I would run). Unfortunately, the Ohio snow put a damper on my effort to take up running, and I know I need to get on a treadmill at the gym...or any other piece of equipment might be good, too!0

I am also in Ohio, and we just got hammered. (I m in the snowbelt). Thankfully I have a treadmill!! I also ALWAYS hated running. I am now up to 1 minute running then 1 minute fast walk for 30 minutes. Yesterday I did a mile in 15 minutes which is great for me since when I started last week it took me 22 minutes. Gret job to everyone on here!! And to those who wnt to start, if I can do it, you can do it! I promise!! Thanks everyone for all the support I get on this site, just by reading all your posts!!0 -
Woohoo! Great progress. I remember the feelings I had the first time I ran 10 minutes straight on the treadmill. I need to lose around 40 lbs before I can safely take up running program again. I know around 250 I have done it before with lots of stretching I got past shin soreness but I definitely can't wait to take up walk/run program. Hopefully by Aug-Sept I'll be down enough to start that up.0

Wow!!! Congratulations!0
