    Hey there! Iā€™m also a beginner runner (5 weeks into my beginner running program). My goal is to be able to continuously run a 5k by August without walking. Do you have a goal you are working towards?

    Just finished my day 7 of running. As beginner I include walking and jogging in my program. My goal is to lose body fat and I want to do this for 30 days straight:). My average distance is 5 k per day. No athlete but planning to be šŸ˜Ž.

    I was in good shape, been really less active for about a year now. Working towards getting back in shape again. Walking 3 miles a day most days this week. Getting faster. Running is my goal. I want to do 3 miles in 20-24 minutes. That is my goal. I would also like to be able to run 5 miles without stopping or walking.

    Hi yall. I just started running for the first time in my life using the Runkeeper app. I'm about halfway through and I'm having horrible shin splits! I literally can't run on a blacktop. Either concrete or a trail seems to be best for me. I wear Altra trail shoes with arch supports (I pronate inwards). I am currently about halfway through my 5k program where I'm running 90 sec and walking 30, for about 15 intervals. Can anyone offer suggestions to help with these stupid shin splints?

    I finished the C25K program about a month ago and I'm running a 5K 3 times a week now. I still don't feel like a "runner" though...

    Feel free to add if I can help you.

    I finished C25K and began to run 5k three times a week. I have stopped for about a month now due to a calf injury. Desperate to get back out there, but need to make sure it's healed. I am walking without pain, so I'm aiming to try walk/run to see how it is.

    Wouldn't class myself as a runner.... started C25K in my 50s, having never run before in my life!
