Happy running

Hi there! I have recently started running (again - after a multi year hiatus) and am considering doing a 1/2 marathon myself! Mine will be in September, so I'd love to be your "virtual running buddy!" Are you using RunKeeper, MyAsics, or MapMyRun by any chance?
Talk to you soon!0 -

The www.myasics.us has a free customizable training plan for any distance so I really suggest that for anyone! If you have an iPhone they have a free app for it as well. 0

Hi! I'm marathon training at the moment, and working on my half marathon and 10k times. I'd like a couple more friends who run too, please feel free to add me! 0

Just finished my first 1/2 in April and have another booked for October. Hoping to run a full by Xmas!!! Feel free to add me - virtual running friends are motivating!!!0

feel free to add me! i started running in jan last year. i've done c25k, b210k, have done about 5 halves and 1 full. i've got a few halves coming up in the next few months before my next full in oct. i could use some extra motivation too. i'm a really slow runner, but i keep saying i was built for comfort not for speed
i don't actually enjoy running, but i do love what it has done for me (lost 30kgs, increased self esteem, less lazy- generally life has got so much better since i started running). i'm still pretty overweight, but i'm a fitter fatty now!

Agree, the Hal Higdon plans are fantastic! I have done three half marathons and those plans helped immensely!0
