I know its not that huge of an accomplishment but I ran a mile in 9 minutes and 50 seconds! That was after a 20 minute calisthenics workout. Unfortunately I had slow the pace down to a brisk walk after that, but its progress!

I'm glad you posted this. I am running my first 1/2 marathon in 10 days! I have never ran a 10 min. mile. I run slow and steady 12 min. miles so I can have the endurance. Once I complete the 1/2 marathon, my new goal will be a 10 min. mile. How long have you been running?0

Thats so great! It takes me 16 mins to jog/walk a mile. Which is good cuz if I just walk it it's like 20 mins. I can't wait to run a while mile. Once again great job and keep it up!0

That is awesome!! I was happy I was able to run 3 in 33 min last night, so I'm heading that direction too. Definitely helps every time you lose a bag of potatoes (which is what I refer to every 10 lb increment!) ...
Keep it up! Have you tried the app called Endomondo? It is a runners nirvana ... I

Alright! You are doing great. 5k here you come.0

I really haven't been running a lot. I've been doing a little here and there working myself up to it. I mainly do the free motion elliptical trainer for 30+ minutes because its less stress on my knees. I'm good for quick bursts but not there on the endurance, so a 1/2 marathon would be a big goal for me. Good luck!

You better believe that's progress! It's elating isn't it? I remember that day! Now I keep that pace longer. I can do 6 miles in an hour. Once again, it will only get better for me too!0

Amazing!!!
I remember when i started running...
At the beggining it was difficult to keep a steady pace (10min/mile) for more than 2miles...
Now I achived my best time ever... 6.4 miles in 1h
Don't give up, 'cause i know you can do it, 'cause I did!0 -
That's fantastic!! I never feel like I can get under a 12 minute mile, so thanks for the inspiration!0

Good effort mate. I ran my first 10 minute mile about 6 weeks ago. I just ran 7.58 today. It get progressively easier...your flat out speed quickly becomes your jogging speed.0

Congrats!!!0

That is an amazing accomplishment! I have been running about a year and can't seem to build that kind of speed. I have done about 5.5 miles in an hour, but thought I was dying. I am hoping that if I just keep doing it, it will get easier. It looks like that may be the case from everyone's posts. I really enjoy reading them as they keep me motivated. :happy:
Also, I love the referral to the bag of potatoes... I look at it as sticks of butter!0 -
Congratulations! :-D0
-
Congrats! I know how difficult that can be.
Also, the calisthenics helps with your endurance. I do calisthenics as well and yoga, together they help with my running for sure!
Currently I run a little less than 12mins per mile if I did the math correctly... I just did my first 5km race. The goal wasn't to win just to complete the course. I did very well and I am proud of myself.
Keep up the good work! You should be proud.0 -

COngrats- Thats awesome!!0

Sounds HUGE to me!!! Great job!!!!!!0

That is an awesome accomplishment!! I ran a little over a 10 min mile yesterday for my first mile- and then it tanked after that for me as well. The point is that it is possible, and working on your endurance will get easier each time!
Way to go!0 -
That is fabulous progress! I wish I could....keep up the great work!0

a sub 10mm is a great accomplishment-even if its only a few seconds! Don't minimize your achievement.0

I think that's wonderful & a great accomplishment! I'm all proud of myself for Jogging (can't quite call it running) a 12 minute mile. Keep it up!! Definitely progress:)0
-
Really awesome! I love to run! I'm trying to maintain that speed for 3 miles. I like to run 5ks and am trying to get my time down to under 30 minutes. I might sign up for one on the 31st.0

Great accomplishment!! You should be very proud of yourself!0
-
That's a HUGE accomplishment! I never ever thought I could be a runner. When I started I couldn't do a slow jog longer than 1 minute without gasping for breath, so I know what kind of work it takes to get to a sub-10 min mile.
Great job!0 -
I know its not that huge of an accomplishment
Are you kidding?? That's a HUGE accomplishment! You should be thrilled!! Way to go!0 -
That's GREAT!!!!!!! Be proud of yourself0
