I am signed up for my first 70.3 Steelhead in August of 2016

I am training for a few things this year first is Grosse Ille half Marathon in March than Toledo Full Marathon in April and than my training will change to focus on Triathlon as I am doing my first Ironman 70.3 in August. I am sure there will be a few 5 and 10k races along the way and hopefully a few shorter triathlons…

Thanks for the help everyone I decided to try the couch to 5 K again today I decided to start at week 5 and the 3rd work out, it is 5min warm up 20min run and 5 min cool down. Well I slowed my speed down and ran the whole 20 mins and kept running for an extra 10mins after it. I ran a total of 30mins straight with no walks.…

LOL so true its like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey to keep it moving.

Thanks everyone I will try and slow down my pace and see how it goes, I do think that in a group I will run farther without any walks most of my runs are by myself but when I did run with a group It was a much slower pace and we only slowed to a walk 3 times in the 5K, and that was also almost 2 months ago when I ran with…

Thanks that is what I have been doing for the last week or two and I have noticed it getting easier to run more I was just making sure I was on the right track. I will keep pushing on.

No I tried to do the couch to 5k but it seamed way to easy I guess I could skip to near the end and try it again to do the last few weeks and see if that helps.

I will remember this feeling for sure, most times I run before I eat or at least 2 or so hours after and that will be the norm from now on. it was not a pleasant run that's for sure.
