Should I set a goal pace for my Half Marathon?
I will run my second half marathon in about 3 weeks. I finished my last HM in March this year, running easy pace because I had some nagging leg pain going into the race. I feel like I am in better condition this time and could aim for a better time. I guess I want to finish the race feeling like I have tried my best…

So many things I wanted to do... So little time!
I ran my first 5k in November. Now, I want to run faster for my next race. They say more miles, therefore more time. I would like to swim more, just because I like to swim. I could only do breast stroke. I would very much like to learn to swim free-style or even butterfly. I have started strength training with Body by You,…

How to pace myself running outside in my first race?
I just finished my c25k program and about to run my first 5k race on Thanksgiving day. So far, I have been running on treadmill with an average speed of 10 min/mile and was able to increase my speed as I run without feeling out of breath. Yesterday I try to run the 5k race route and found myself running out of breath…
