Whatever sites those are, didn't use data from 30 something moms who work full time jobs and live where temps get into the 100s for 3-4 solid months out of the year. 8 minute miles..... whatever!

I'm doing a sprint on Saturday! Beach Blast in Mexico Beach, FL. Ocean swim!

Just be careful and follow the 10% rule. (increase mileage by 10% a week, so if you run 10 miles this week, increase to 11 miles next week) Even though you might feel great, doing too much too fast could injure you. I was out for 2-3 months last summer with a knee injury. Even though I was able to run, my leg muscles were…

I have been running for awhile and your pace is my pace.... about! Congrats! I started at 12 min pace and my fastest was a 5K that I averaged right at 9 min pace. Good luck! Oh, I learned that distance training increases speed. Maybe slow down your pace and go for the 5K distance. And then work on increasing speed for the…

I have found that distance training helps with my speed on shorter runs. Also, if you are wanting to cut that much time off of an ALREADY fast 5K, I would start running outside. Your body definitely needs to adjust to the elements. I am in Florida, and with the heat and humidity reaching above 100 degrees almost everyday…

My goal this month is 150 miles! I have a triathlon, so there will be a few more rest days than last month. Excited! Thank you again!

Welcome back! I am in FL too.... feel free to add!

I am no expert, so here is my personal story/opinion/advice. At the end of last summer I was running 3-4 days a week and my race pace was around 10.5 min/mile. Through the fall and winter, I trained for a half marathon. Ran 3-4 times a week, 2 shorter runs, 1 medium, 1 long. Fast forward to the first race of the spring,…

Not only can you get nasty blisters, but running in the wrong shoes can tear up your feet AND your knees, ankles, etc. I would definitely get fitted somewhere. I got fitted and it has done wonders. I now buy shoes online.... I just search for sales on the previous years' models and can get them for half of what the brand…

I feel you! My first tri was on a mountain bike with thinner tires. I got out of the water 5th woman OVERALL! AMAZING! Then came the bike. I was 3rd from last woman overall. I got passed by all but 3 women. All but 3. There were at least 100. I got my roadbike and I average 2-3 mph faster without much more effort. I would…

Love these! Did a tri on a naval base a few weeks ago and we rode past the shipyards. I thought about how awesome it would be to have a pic of me riding in front of the massive navy ships..... I didn't bring my phone along to do it though!

Upping my goal to 125 for August! Have a few long rides planned and hoping to up my running mileage as well! Good luck everyone and thank you to the moderators! You guys are awesome!
