  • I did my first last November and plan to run that same race again this year. the best advice I got last year as I was training was that the goal for the first is to finish. You can train for specific finish times but many things can go off track, and remember, so few people tackle that distance that finishing on it's own…

  • you might also want to check if any of the running stores in your area offer Good Form Running clinics. They are free and they use video analysis of your gait and have you practice during the clinic. They do stress that changing your stride is a gradual process, but I learned some good tips! their website also has videos…

  • This will be my second year running it and the 8th overall I think (lots of walking years). I'm another one doing the Indy Runner's group this year. I've also used a Hal Higdon plan in the past. Another thing I found this year (but it's not the same as my curernt running plan) is that some of the running apps like…

  • Far north side - there is also an Earth Fare that's pretty new at 146th and I-69 at Hamilton Towne Center. If you go on their website, they will often send you some great coupons too. There is another one opening at 116th and Rangeline later this year.

  • Guess I'm one of the crazies - will be out tonight with Indy Runner's - will just be adding enough layers to stay comfortable. Have the warm socks and gloves ready - coldest run so far this year was about 12 - even then my gloves were off by the end!

  • Another thing I've done which has worked well for me is seeking out a training program. My area has LOTS of them - between local community running clubs, some of the running stores, YMCA's, and even community health programs. They are great with helping you stick to the plan! Many also have pace groups to help you stick…

  • Just finished my first marathon this weekend - the Monumental in Indianapolis. Followed my plan to keep a nice slow pace the entire way to feel good at the end. The adventure part included cold, rain and sleet and a husband who decided instead of following me just a couple of miles on his bike then driving to certain…

  • I've been the person who's started a fitness routine, be it running or simply going to the gym and dropped it before - many times. Been consistently running now since April 2011. Agreed with writers above - keep a regular schedule of races, even if they are 3-6 months apart so you're consistently training with specific…

  • Body glide (and powder - does not matter what kind) work for me. Lasted through 20 miler this weekend (and I did chafe 2 weeks ago on a shorter run)... be careful about switching up on bra's too. I have one style I really like but tried rotating in another that worked on short runs a couple of weeks ago and had issues!
