well i dont get the chance to go in the morning bc i have to be at work early, late in the evening doesn't always work out b/c i have shows at night. The treadmill helps you learn how to keep pace tho. It's not a huge difference i've done it before. I think for beginners its nice to do the treadmill to get your pace down and then take it outside. im doing the couch to 5k and i have the app for it. also helps a lot

I have only been doing treadmill so far. I have GOT to get started on the Couch to 5K. My goal is to get started this weekend!

Does anyone want to meet up and try to go for a run/walk outside sometime?

Honestly, I'm a teacher so I am free almost any time until mid-August. And the Riverwalk would be fantastic, it's only about 15minutes away!

So let me know when you're free and I'll meet you up there!

I usually run either in the morning or later in the evening when it's in the upper 70s or low 80s..... I haven't gotten to the point that I can breathe in 90 degree weather even without trying to run hahaha

I'm planning on running this week Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - I need to rebuild the endurance I had pre-knee issues

Mandarin area..... What about you guys?

I'll sign up next week..... Can't wait!!!!!!

I work in Deerwood and live on the Westside. My run days this week should be Wednesday and Saturday (normally I do Sunday...).

is 7am ok for those who want to run? IDK Where to meet up/how long the run is, levels of running etc (I suck) LOL

BUT So far 7am this saturday!

I usually park by the Y on Riverside. That area will allow for various routes depending on your strength and endurance. I am a very slow runninger - about 12.5 miles/hr. My current workout is to do a 5 minute walking warm up, and 3 intervals of running for 18 minutes with a 1 minute walk in between, and a 5 minute walking cool down. That equates to about 4.8 miles for me right now. I know JPaw is still working on running longer intervals...my niece runs the same as I do.

I will try to map my route and post it shortly. Like I said...there are so many places to run down there, it is awesome.

I'm going...but just as a heads up....I am NOT a morning person....you have all been warned. :devil:

& sara i'm not doing that great of runs either, i'm just getting back into it and i haven't been out side yet :sick:

You think we got the point, yet??? And...she ain't kidding ya'll. We can just throw her in the river!

Try this for the map.
