Please add me. Training for my 1st marathon in June. Have to get better about eating the right foods, not just foods that are calorie appropriate!
Thanks!0 -
Hi I am training for this years Tough Mudder/ Cross Fit challenges. I just got the nike fuelband so I love the nike+ app! Feel free to add me, good luck and have fun!0

Any runners out there feel free to add me too. I run an average of 30-35 miles per week and am in constant preparation for my next Half Marathon.0

I started c25k in beginning of march. I have never been a runner and I'm actually enjoying it. Middle of week 3 right now.0

Yes, I've been getting back into running too and would love for any of you to add me too!0

Started out a casual runner many years ago and now running a couple marathons a year, have done Boston several times, NYC, and others, off road marathons too. Tough Mudder coming up. Never get tired of running talk. Anyone like minded can friend me.0

Looking for running friends, you can add me too. I've run 5k, 10k, half and full marathons0

I'm still at the calorie counting stage, I've only just actively started using Myfitnesspal again after originally joining over 2 years ago.
I try to run at least a couple of times a week, at the moment running 12.1 km on the treadmill for about 45 mins, then I mix it up with weights, and hopefully a bit of 5-a-side football (first game last week), which is an hour a week. One thing I have noticed on here is that strength training apparently doesn't burn any calories, when I know for a fact it does, and I feel hungrier afterwards, because my muscles are crying out for calories.
Anyways good luck :-) I'm going to look into running with the Nike thingy, I've seen it on my ipod, but haven't used it yet :-)0 -
I'm new here and would love a few friends to keep me motivated. I just ran my first 10k this past Saturday and finished 9th in my gender/age group. Not too terrible for a beginner runner.
I'm hoping to start training for my first 1/2 marathon in August. :glasses: I'm also going to run a 5K next month. 0 -
Hello runners! I started dabbling in running April 2011 and since then I've become ADDICTED! I did 10 5K's last summer, a 10K and am now 7 weeks from my first 1/2 marathon! I've been averaging around 55 miles per month.
The great part, is because of running and a better diet, I've shed 53 pounds! Good times, right?
Always looking for new pals, anyone feel free to add me!

I have run several half marathons and am training for my first full....I ran Saturday 13 miles using the Galloway method and ran FASTER than just running and felt great after. I am a believer in the method...Happy running.0

I am very new to running, but since I've started, I can't stop! I started running in January and when I did, I found it very hard to run for more than a few minutes at a time. Just last night, I ran nonstop for 2.3 miles! My goal is to run a 5K this spring/summer and could use any support and tips you have,
Best of luck to ya! Feel free to add me!!0 -
Add me as well! I've just started running, and am also looking for friends/ tips/ people who know what the hell they're doing!
recently my knees have been really hurting a lot...everyone says it's my shoes, but they're not that old and are in really good shape..any ideas?0 -
I started running in Aug 2010 - and I instantly LOVED it! Just did my first 1/2 Marathon in January and it was such a great experience I had some road blocks during training, which resulted in me missing out on a few weeks of training, but I still managed to finish! I use a method similar to the Galloway method - I found that using the run/walk method actually improved my pace per km. Anyway... I just finished a 10K on 11Mar - doing a 15K in June, another 1/2 in October... and probably will do the Tinker Bell 1/2 in Disneyland again in Jan Feel free to add me too

I would love to be able to tell someone that i'm running a half marathon in May and them not look at me like i'm crazy or just directly say so. I'm the only runner in my family and only have maybe 2 or 3 friends who are runners.
Right now, i've only been running about 15 miles per week. I try and vary up my cardio workouts but maybe in preparation for the mini, I should ONLY focus on running? I also need to work on my speed and strides.
Longest run so far: 6.5 miles this past Saturday.
Feel free to add me anyone!!0 -

Looking for support (and ideas) on running and healthy eating, I got this crazy idea from one of my fraternity brothers to do a 5k or half marathon soon, I've logged about 150 miles so far in the last 5 wees with my Adidas app so far!0

I occasionally have trouble with my knees - I actually discovered it on my last long run before I did my first 1/2! argh!
First of all... make sure you have not injured your knee. If you have.. you will need guidance from your Dr and possibly a Physio-Therapist.
I've been told that a lot of people who begin running, forget to excercise the muscles on the 'inner' leg -- what happens is the muscles on the 'outer' part of the leg become very strong and developed so they can pull your knee and it causes your knee to not track properly. You can avoid this by doing exercises that work the inner leg. There are also bands or tapes that you can put around your knee to avoid this problem. Also... be sure you're not overtraining. I pushed myself too far too soon because of a break I had to take earlier in my training. Gradually increase your mileage (I think the recommended amount is 10% per week). If you're training for a specific distance - you can find training programs that provide you with a training plan And be sure to take your rest days 0 -

I sent you a request. I am a runner sometimes. LOL I get out and run on my own plus I am military so I do some for work also. I have run 3 Half Marathons, a bunch of 10k, and even more 5ks. Not the best for sure but sure like getting out there and doing it.0

and any other runners feel free to add me!0

There's a group of runners here. A lot of them are really accomplished and offer terrific advice and you don't have to be a marathoner (i'm a half girl myself)
Feel free to join!
