Hi,there, this is my first message. Hello! Training couch to 10K and plan to run a matathon

I've run 8 marathons. My ninth was supposed to be the Santa Cruz Surfer's Path marathon. Unfortunately, I overtrained and seriously injured my knee. Then I managed to break my sternum. So I've been in Physical Therapy for a couple of months and am using C25K to get back into running. I'm going to start training soon for the New York City Marathon in November!

After careful consideration, I’ve decided to train for and run my first marathon. The Portland Marathon is in October. I’ve decided to use the C25K program as my “conditioning” and then I’ll start my Marathon training after that 8 week program is up. This is the biggest goal I’ve ever set for myself. I’m nervous. I’m scared. But above it all, I’m excited about the journey. I don’t have a time goal, just a “finish it” goal❤️

Hello Fitness / Running Experts, While doing running portions of C25K, 10K or marathon run/walk programs, 1) can one be running too slowly? 2) if they are too slow, is it really running, or is it fast walking mistaken as running? I believe I can instinctively say that I am doing running, although it's very slow. How do I make sure that it is not slow to a point where it is impacting relevance of the program or below the minimum running speed expectations of the program. How do I improve upon such issues? Thank you for helping! Background: I started with C25K and then on week 3 switched over to marathon and then took a break before I could finish week 1 there. Now I really want to finish C25K first, then 10K and then marathon. I am 5'5'' and 255 lbs. Have been trying to fasttrack C25K. I realize that best food option for me is eating a "whole food plant based" (aka WFPB) diet, low fat and with a caloric deficit (lesser intake of calories that what I would burn (including exercise)... this along with exercise would be the key to my weight loss and fitness. Having sustained control on my food addiction has been the biggest challenge for me. Regards

I am considering the Schneider Electric Marathon 2019 in Paris France. I have trained sporadically throughout 2018 but plan to start with week 5 on the 26.2 trainer so that my "run day" will be the Paris Marathon. Has anyone run this marathon and do you have any pointers? I have run in Paris before but have not done the marathon. This will be my first full marathon.

Going to do it right this time. This will be my second marathon! I finished the first; however, I didn’t do as well as I would have liked.....and it was a miserable experience that burned me out on running for years afterwards. Mistake 1: I overtrained... Mistake 2: I tried to get cute during the race and strayed from my race/ nutrition plan. Mistake 3: Tried to run FASTER too early.... Mistake!! I thought I was MEB Keflezighi!!! Mistake 4: Ran for time on my first Marathon...instead of just focusing on finishing. This time, I will enjoy the training process, follow the body/nutrition prep recommendations, and stick to my run/walk plan. I will not run for time.....just enjoyment!

After four children and 34 years in this earth I have decided that I was a better more active life. Starting at 240lbs hoping to run/walk a 5K by the end of January for my birthday

Does this app (free version) track speed, distance and location?
