  • Hello! My name is Sarah and I just started running at the tail end of April. I am training for the Pacific Grove Lighthouse 5K in November. Though I am a newbie, I aspire to be a marathon runner. I found this group from another MFP member and am excited to learn from experienced runners. Have a great day and run happy!
  • Wow, thanks a bunch! I really need to look up how people go about the couch to 5k. I know there is an actual plan week to week but I've never seen it so I don't know the exact plans.

I have come to learn that what this group is really about is finding the best possible routines to each individual that will help with improving 5K times. I am…

  • Thank you guys very much for you replies. I do have very nice running shoes. They are the Ghost 6 by Brooks Running. My feet never hurt in them. I use to hike in target shoes and I would get foot cramps all of the time. So I know my shoes are ok. I guess I will have to rethink this. I was worried that I was going at this…

  • Thank you for your advice. I have been strength training as well. Maybe I should have mentioned that. But I really went from walking the 5K, to jogging it, to running it. This is where I am at now. I have basically worked my way up to running it. Do you think the distance is still too much on a newbie?

  • Hello! Happy to have you! Try reading this. It's really short. But it will explain how many calories you have to burn in order to lose a pound a week. I like numbers, so I like keeping track of how many calories I'm burning and eating. It makes me want to push harder to burn those extra calories so I can get the weight…

  • Yep Yep, I started on Monday, April 28th. Tomorrow will be the last day of my week 2. I will post my week two results when it's over. Also, I know my distance because so far, I have only been running on a treadmill. I think the pedometer's tell you what your distance is for those running outdoors, but truthfully I have…
