yes you can slow and steady wins the race

and lol chocolate is the most important food group i shoul have posted under food and nutrition

under accountability

and you can ungain them with this app and a good diet and some strength training excersizes that you can google how to do. Good luck to you on this journey. Please post your progress and read the other forums it helps and it is fun so is running

i just realized that when i ran week one days 1&2 back to back and i checked the miles covered during that time i ran over 5k in an hr that was with walks I can do this with the runs getting longer i can eventualy shorten the time and go further

chasing babies 5 days a week at work helps and all the walking i did prior to starting running might help ive been on my fitness journey a long time and very slow if i need to i will repeat glad week 5 was good for you

Welcome back Adders I am sorry about your heart attack i am glad u still around and if you did it before you can do it again. Nice to know you will have a running buddy. Keep posting on your progress and your health

I like what Natcatvet wrote

feeling pretty lucky to have several diffetent ways to run in my area although 2 have traffic crossing hazzards if i time it right it works good luck guys

running in leggings a t shirt a baseball cap and an old windsuit jacket with the jacket im too hot without im to cold tried a long sleeved shirt i hate long sleeves and never really wear them this just didnt work for me we have been windy and in upper 40s to upper 50s

yep and then i didnt take my own advice and re ran for third time now week one days 1 and 2 just so i can have them logged properly I probably should not have done them back to back like i did but I was having fun!

I am praying that this works for you. I believe in the intersession of saints so I will be praying to St Rocco for your knee

yep i lied go check out chocolate adict's last post and see what i did this morning

some gyms have day care then u could run on treadmill or strength train if it is in your budget or maybe get a high school kid to sit for you while you get a run in

so I can't even take my own advice when my ocd kicks in some one posted an uh oh that they skipped a day and should they go back. I said only if they wanted to but not neccessary I didn't go back when I upgraded to pro and lost data. Then today while I was doing my long walk the 7.1 mile one I realized I was running out of time and had to get home so I started week one day one and at the end ran through the last walk and the cool down then I started week one day 2 and did the same just so I could have something logged on those days in the pro version and to get me home faster. I did my walk in an hr and 40 min instead of my usual 2 hrs. so im very happy. Im not overly sore either just the same as if I walked it all. But man was I hungry when I got home couldn"t wait to finish streching so I could eat peanut butter flaxseed meal and semi sweet chips mixed yum that and big glass h2o I was happy. Hope I don't pay for this when I do my w4d2 run tomorrow.

as i have read for now distance and time do not matter. it is stamina we are building

read and learn thanks guys

type his name and bam he shows up lol luv your answere Azatol

no if you had a good run just move on unless you are like me and must! properly check things off as done my ocd would force me to go back and do the run it was very hard when i went to the pro version to just mark my lost runs as done without repeating them to get the data posted but i had already done them twice due to an injury and would not do them 3 times i still toy with the idea of going back i may at the end to see if i can get my speed up

I think you need to copy Azatol he seems to have the right program going

i had to google running and pigeon toed running you are going to be a faster runner than most because of the way your feet land but you really need special shoes and may need special inserts if you feel pain when running good luck and enjoy your extra speed in a way i am jealous

i cant wait to try that 20 min run everyone is talking about i originally miss understood and was running every day had an injury and had to rest and start over now my ocd wont let me run 2 days in a row i am being very strict with my routine for now but all i really want to do is run and run

oh my what an adventure glad about new shoes sad about cramps but u found a new challenge to takle when you get a wee bit stronger and hey you did it so you can do it again

i did thank you unfortunately i triggered bad allergies for myself this morning. Last night my teen wanted hot coco i cant make her a cup and not have one myself i spiked mine with a shot of kahlua slept very well but today i am all stuffy and congested i had to much of my fave food group yesterday i had forgoten about the chocolate ice cream we had at work! I am hoping to clear up soon as i want to do my long walk. I need to be more mindful of what i am eating when it is something extra i didnt pre plan or log on my fit pal

aww indoors unless you like running in snow
