im wondering if there is anybody out there with similar goals who uses the garmin connect software? I am currently running 2/3 times per week (will never be more than 3) about 4 miles each time midweek, with an aim to increasing my sunday runs over time, which last week was 7 miles. Would be nice to have some people to connect with and be a bit competitive with. My half marathon is next april.

I am not training for any races but I try to run 20 miles a week so that if I ever decide to just run a half marathon (which sometimes I do) I would be ready. If that offers you something to compare yourself against on a weekly basis feel free to add me - same id as MFP.0

No, I'm in Yorkshire, I used to live on Tavistock Close, that's where the name came from!0 -

Not training for anything, but a healthier longer life, and am using Garmin Connect to log and keep track of my 4.3 mile run walks. Walk a quarter mile, jog three quarters. Average 12:30 per mile that way. Available, under those conditions, if anyone is interested.0

I'm currently in training for a Ragnar trail run (15.5 miles total over ~24 hours) on November 6 and a half marathon in January. Username on Garmin is the same as here.0

I have both garmin connect and strava. Most folks are more social on strava. There is a way to automatically sync your runs from GC into strava. And there is an MFP group on strava.
https://www.strava.com/clubs/myfitnesspalclub
Just let @KeithAngilly or @DonPendergraft or @ZenInTexas know if you don't get accepted right away. They run that group.
Might also help to be a part of the Long Distance Runners group on here:

I will be shortly. I'm just coming back after an injury so starting small but planning on a half in April. Same username0

I'm on Garmin Connect, same user name. My half marathon is a Monster Dash on Halloween. I'm considering adding a second one either Oct 10 as a warm up, or the last Saturday in November as a follow up.
Feel free to add me but I'm unlikely to get into the social part of GC since I'm already here and have just started Strava.0 -
I'm on GC, same username, but I never use the social features there, preferring instead as many others to have GC upload my runs and rides to Strava and use that as a social hub. The social aspect of Strava leads GC by... miles, mostly because of the much larger user base since it isn't device specific.
My user profile on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/mwyvr
I'm training for a trail half+ right now and expect to move on to full trail marathons and eventually an ultra if I haven't come to my senses by then, which is certainly possible.0
