Hi all! I turned 30 this year and have been doing 5Ks since I started my running journey. I was able to lose 60lbs in my first 3 months of running. I feel like I have "mastered" the 5k. I say "mastered" because I know I will never be a fast runner, but I pride myself on being consistent and not stopping. My fastest time is 11:30 mile and I'm cool with that. My next goal is to complete my first 10k in November. I'm looking forward to it but nervous about steping it up! I'm excited about the encouragement and inspiration I will find in this forum! Cheers and happy running!

Hi, I am new here. I am a slow runner. 11-12 min miles typically I have run 2 1/2 marathons and I am currently training for the NYC marathon. I have been training for awhile so I just jumped into the right week for when the NYC Marathon is ( November 1st, so I started the program at week 9) I don't understand the Marathon app and how it's based on time not my pace. Is there a way to set pace to reflect my slower times or is the intent for me to work on my pace so that I can actually complete the Marathon in 4 hours 30 minutes, which right now seems impossible and I am only 11 weeks out from race day. Can someone give me some advice? Thank you!

These forums have been a huge help for me. I also couldn't complete day one when I started but now I'm about to finish week 8. Just keep moving and remember you're already way ahead of anyone that is still sitting on the couch.
