Hi Group! I haven't been a part of the monthly running goal thread in years! I'm back at it, though. I better set a goal! I have a half marathon on October 28th. My running plan has me at 70 for the month, so I suppose that should be my goal. Man, that sounds like a ton. I also am doing the 80 day obsession workout…

I feel dumb for asking, but what range should my heart rate be in for my slow run? It was about 150 for most of the run last night.

Thanks for the perspective! I think I need to stop worrying so much about numbers (similar to my evil bathroom scale) and worry more about how I feel going into my run, my comfort level during my run, my ability to recover, etc. You all have been so helpful. I feel amazing today, a tiny bit sore, but not painful. So proud…

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I ran SLOW last night. I have been averaging 9:30/mile and I slowed it down to 12 minute miles with the last mile being 10:54. Was this TOO slow? I hope not, because I ran 6.25 miles and I could have kept going if it wasn't 10 PM and my 3 year old wasn't up trying to get on the treadmill…

Silly husbands! Mine is always a block ahead of me AND is pushing the double stroller. I think I need to add more weight to that stroller to level the playing field!

@_nikkiwolf_ and @Elise4270 I will try going slower or alternating run/walks. Part of the problem is I run with my husband and he is SO STINKING FAST! Perhaps I will have to fly solo a couple times a week to work on distance. Thank you for your input! I love this message board. So many good ideas and so much support and…

Help! I'm having serious trouble adding distance to my run. I'm doing some HIIT in the morning and trying to run in the evening. I've tried a couple outside runs, but the wind is FIERCE here! My speed is improving, but I always feel dead at the end of my run. I'm super new to this, so any advice will be helpful! Time to…

Got a couple more runs in! 5k this weekend, so I need to get a few more runs in before then.

Does Strava sync with a Fitbit Charge HR? I only saw that it is compatible with the fitbit surge. Anyone know?

Mark me down for 4 miles! I think I am going to up my short runs to 4 miles since I've increased my time to 10 minute miles. Long runs I'm going to shoot for 6 miles this weekend and adding a mile to my long run every week.... I should probably up my month goal, but I want to be realistic this month! Love all the support…

Thanks SO much for the tips! I will try adding a mile to my long run weekly... that would put me at about 10 miles on my last long run in march! That'd get me at goal for race time in MAY!!! Thank you!!!

My goal is 60 miles in March. I'm fairly new to distance running, but have a half marathon coming up (thanks peer pressure)! Time to get serious! My plan is to run 3 miles 3 times a week and at least one longer run (6+ miles) weekly. Upcoming races: 3/12/16 Shamrock Shuffle 5k 4/23/16 Jiggle Butt Run 5k 5/1/16 Lincoln…

As far as finding motivation, I found a picture of myself from college where I just look fantastic (for me). I think of that picture when I want to be lazy, skip a workout, or eat like a little piggie. Find your picture. It especially helps that it is of ME and not some photo-shopped celebrity. It is obtainable and…
