Thanks for this info. I have just started the C25k. I have never run before..but I hear it burns fat like no other. I do want to make it a habit..and think if I stick with the program..it will.
Again..thanks for taking the time to write this all down0 -

Great post! And I can't stress the importance of wearing proper running socks enough. Cotton is a no-no, unless of course you actually like blisters.
When I started NO ONE told me about technical socks. I learned the hard way. The blisters took me out for about two weeks.
Lesson learned via The School of Hard Knocks.
Hahaha, nobody told me either and like you I learned the hard way. I thought it was because of my running shoes that my feet were sore and tender and I would get blisters. I had no idea that my cotton socks were to blame. $10-15 for a pair of good running socks is worth it when you put in serious mileage.0 -
I just began running this week (C25K), and this helps a LOT. Thank you! :flowerforyou:0

Nice write-up. I was thinking about writing something similar a few days ago, but looks like I won't need to.
You may want to post the link in your signature so it shows up under all of your posts and people can find it easier after it gets buried.
Again, good job.0 -

What a great post that provides so many key details!! I wished I had this when I trained for my first half marathon years ago. I finally figured it out after finishing a full this year
For the shoes, when you go get fitted (do this!), you may end up getting shoes that are bigger than your normal size (e.g. I wear size 6 with most of my footwear. My running shoes are 7.5). That's normal.
For those who have started running the longer distances, I recommend doing leg curls and leg extensions. It will help you with endurance, I promise you!0 -

Thank you for this. I started running last summer and finished my first 5k. Then pulled my hamstring and it is incredible how much running ability you lose so quickly. I am back to running this summer and hoping to do that 5k again. Looks like I will be in the market for new running shoes and socks after reading this. I had no idea. I have also experienced some of the side affects you mentioned. Thanks again!0

Great post!! I've recently started running again, so this is really helpful.
I did have one question, though. Anything about running while asthmatic/allergic? I'm on loads of meds and an inhaler, but I find myself getting out of breath and bright red in the face. It goes away for a while after I use my inhaler, but I'm still having problems. Is there anything specifically that would help?
Thanks!!0 -
Yes i must agree with you, really its work out..Thanks for the tips!0
