Hi everyone! I have been logging on here for a little while now and didn't know there
was all these other things I could do here. Fun! I love to run. I always have but
getting heavier and having small kids kept me back. My kids are getting older now and
I finally have some time for me! I really started running about 3 months ago and am
hanging in at 5 miles 3 days a week and then one longer run (my farthest to date is 8
miles) and somtimes a 3 mile short run with one of my kids. I have added some speedwork
to the end of most of them. Mostly I am just having fun. I am excited to run a
marathon... that is my goal outside of just running! I haven't lost much weight and
I realized I wasn't eating enough calories (thanks to livestrong) to lose. I also was
eating too many empty not helpful calories and too much fat. My goal now is to learn to
eat like a runner for the fuel I need! It stopped being about losing weight for me and
more just toning and having fun with this! Although I would probably run better if I
lost some more weight :) I am anxious to read other people's posts and find some
information that maybe I haven't learned!
the key word there is fun!keep it that way.that makes it a life long journey.enjoy.vini vidi vici.livestrong
Hello all. Apparently I signed up for Livestrong a few years ago and never did anything
with it. Well yesterday I decided to buckle down and get ready for my first half marathon
in Vegas for the Rock n' Roll series. I couldn't be more excited for the race and felt
that I needed to really get down to business with my food and workouts.
My new found love for running started a little over a year ago, and now hate missing more
than a couple of days in my Nikes!
I started running again last fall. Then winter hit and it was off and on again as I live
in Michigan and I hate running inside.
Well, I joined a running course that went for 10 weeks before a 5k that my employer
sponsors. I ran it in just over 35 minutes!
Well, I kept running 2 to 3 times a week after the 5k. My free run distance is 1.87
miles, simply because the people that engineered the streets didn't round up ;). I ran
that route today and shaved a full minute off my mile! I feel like a rock star! I am at a
11.45 pace today, working at sub 10's.
Very rainy and windy today. It's clear I'm a bit green at the half marathon distance.. I went out way too fast, first 2 miles were 6:05/6:07. The race start was combined with a 10k, so it was hard to tell my relative position. My shoes filled with water not too far in the race, so I squished the whole way. My feet are still a bit waterlogged. Despite all that I think I was pretty solid for my first race at that distance, turning in a 1:31:00 gun time. I also learned a few lessons that will help me in my next race: full marathon, 35 days away.
cool stuff!! and good luck for the full maathon!
Hi ! New to the group. Coming back to running after a 2 year injury induced hiatus. Now that I am older (53) I am struggling to get that old energy level back. I guess I expect myself to get baqck out and immediatly do 3 miles effortlessly. Then I get discouraged that it is such a challenge. Anybody else experience this?
Oh boy have I. I am 57, April 2009 while running a 1/2 marathon my foot broke resulting in plate and screws. I ran the Goofy Challenge in Jan. and felt good. But this past July while running, I tore a hamstring. I tried to run the Chicago Marathon 10/10/10, but just wasnt in shape. I have been having a hard time getting my head wrapped around running again, and have had a hard time getting my self out running, even though I want to do 2 marathons 2011. I saw my doctor last week. He encouraged me and told me I would live to run another marathon, but I am just not in my 20's any longer. It just takes longer to heal and get back in shape. He told me my hamstring may take a year to heal. I felt a lot better. I ran 6 miles Saturday, I just took my time and walked when I needed to.
So just take your time getting back in shape, set some attainable goals and get out there and do it. Dont get discouraged. If you need to, take some vitamin B to help with your energy level. (my doctor suggested that).
Im right there with ya!!! I was out of it for the past five months and gained a bunch of weight, now I am struggling to get back up to where I was this past spring and summer. I was disappointed in myself for letting myself go. Take it slow and steady, walk when you need to and don't push too hard. You will get to where you want to be, and don't be discouraged its a long slow process. Enjoy the time your putting into it even if it isn't what you were doing before, you are still working up to it, but mostly, Have fun doing it!!! Good Luck!!!
Hi everyone! I'm really hoping to start to get back into running. Earlier in 2010, I decided to start training for 15k. I was doing very well and was able to run a 1/2 marathon which was more than I had ever done in my lifetime. I was proud and feeling healthy (as I'm overweight). Then my knees started to hurt. A physician told me that I would/should never run the rest of my life. I was 25 years old at the time. I cried for two days. I decided to go to an Orthopedist. I found out that my patellas we misaligned which was causing the pain. The doc gave me knee braces with J-buttresses and told me to take it easy but since I was so young I really could get back into running, just rest when I felt pain. Well these knee braces start at mid thigh and end at mid calf. Needless to say, extremely uncomfortable and they tend to have a "spring" action so when I run I feel like I have a rubberband on my leg. Ever since I've had trouble getting back into running... Now I want to start again but I do have a few obstacles. I signed up at my Employer's fitness center, but then found out afterwards that the treadmills have a 20 min limit, which I could deal with to start, but once I got back to miles I was previously at, it's not going to cut it. So now I realize I should run outside. I live in Upstate New York and it's December. So anyone have any suggestions. If I do run outside, does anyone have ideas on how to prevent slips from ice and snow? Or should I work on just getting back into shape first and try to pick back up in the spring time?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to livestrong but not to running. Thought I'd join this group to find inspiration
and tips. We can all encourage each other.
ts always been a goal of mine to run the London marathon... At school I did everything I
could to avoid running, first of all it took alot of effort and I didnt like the taste of
iron I got in my mouth after once around the track. Second I developed way early and had
big boobs at school. Back then no one one thought of getting me a sports bra and the boys
thoroughly enjoyed watching me run. So I stopped. Regrets? Yes that was mine. I was
awkward teenager and felt ridiculed not complemented by the attention I got. So I learn t
to hide it and avoid track. I played team sports, Netball, Hockey and Soccer.
Today I'm far more in love with my body, It could be in better shape but I like my basic
form.
So yes Im in training. I have been running with a friend most mornings for the past 2
months. We meet at 6.30 am and walk/run for about 1/2hour. I love it, I really do. I love
getting up early. I love how I feel afterward s and I love feeling my body adapting and
pushing my physical boundaries.
I have training schedule and im blogging about running.
Yesterday my calf seized up so I was debating if I should run today.. Today was a rest day
but I get scared im lazy and I push
Well I pushed myself! I went on the run this morning. I did a little stretching and
although my calf felt better I was still wondering how it would fair this morning. A big
part of me did not want to go this morning but I always put that down to my inherent lazy
nature, or procrastination which I'm so skilled at.
the first 3 minutes were fine, I breathed well and didnt feel too bad, the second 3
minutes where a little harder but I managed and then the third 3 minutes my wall, I was
dying, I had gotten to that point were I pushing myself so hard, I could see I needed to
go just a little further my body was screaming out stop I cant please stop, then it
happened, I cried out in pain, something in my left calf muscle snapped like someone
letting go of a rubber band. I heard the snap and the pain seared through my calf.. I was
so mad.. I told the others to keep going, while I rubbed my leg and hope this would just
go away.. I hated not running with them, as they passed me on their final leg. Something
inside me told me to not do this, to rest but thinking I was being lazy I ignored it.
I'm worried now I have done some thing that could take weeks to heal, I've been reading
articles about calf muscle tears and if that's the case if there is any tear even a tiny
one I'm out of the game for up to 3 weeks.. all the work I have done!!! To have to stop
running for that long is terrible blow. Ill have to start all over maybe.
I'm going to speak to the personal trainer at work today and get his opinion. Hopefully it
just seized and needs a couple of days with some gentle stretching and ill be back
running.
I spoke to the personal trainers one looked horrified that im running as im heavy and told
me to stop. The other said if i love it carry on but to decrease the walking time instead
of increase my running time. I feel devastated. i love doing this but being told im to
heavy to run has delt me blow and im fighting to get my esteem and positivity
back.
First off I hope the calf is feeling better. There is no magical weight to be at which you can or can't run so don't listen to those who say you can't or shouldn't. Keep up your persistance. Make sure to switch icing and heating your calf. And gradually get back into running the distance you were running. Don't think of it as a wall, but a hurdle you will be able to clear. I deal with calf problems on almost every run. Most of them are now psychological, as I think about them way too much and that is when they occur. When running, don't focus on your cramps or pains. Focus on the run and what lies ahead. Be sure to stretch well before the run, but not over stretch. The same with after the run. The next time you have a rest day, take it as a rest day. Your muscles have to heal, if you over work them you will get strains.
Keep up the good work on running, and don't let anyone bring you down. It sounds like you have a great group to run with. Use them for motivation.
THanks for the encouragement. My calf is getting better but I havent been able to run for 3 weeks and I feel im back at the begining, Im going to start again and make stretching a BIG part of my routine. How long have you been running? when fdid you start? how far do you run?
That is good that your calf is getting better. Don't get discouraged by having to start back at the beginning. Many people will get the set back and stop all together. Stick with it and you will pull through.
I've been running off and on for about 20 years. I played soccer in high school and joined cross country to stay in shape. Then I played in college as well. I had knee surgery in 2001, then kinda fell off the running wagon. Jumped on and off for a few years then got back on strong for the past two years. The length of my runs depend on what training I am doing. I'm currently training for a marathon on January so my running program is consistent with Hal Higdon's schedule (I'm currently on week 6). In between races I normally do 3-4 miles on Monday, Wed and Thursday with a 6-8 mile run on Saturday.
Hey all, what is playing on your mp3 player during your run? What's your power song?
My Top 10 right now are:
3OH!3 - Punkbitch
Disturbed - Inside the fire
Offspring - Hammerhead
Foo Fighters - My Hero
Smile Empty Soul - Bottom of the Bottle
Tokyo Police Club - Your English is Good
Skindred - Ratrace
Nickelback - Side of a Bullet
Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor
Kevin Rudolf & Lil Wayne - Let it Rock
I swear by Flogging Molly, even some old Pogues and Dropkick Murphys. Pretty much anything with that Irish-y fast beat make me feel like I MUST run. I finally just invested in one of those super tiny iPod shuffles, so I'm in the process of re-building my running playlist.
I just wanted to say Hi to everyone. I'm not new to the running scene but wanted to join the group for inspiration leading up to a full marathon run. Good luck to all who are training to run any distances. Hopefully we all can encourage each other.
Hello! I'm new to LS.com and new to this group. I've been a "leisure" runner for quite a
few years but I'm currently training for my first half-marathon which will take place in
November. I've got a reasonable time goal in mind since it's my first "competitive" run
and I'm training from a 12 week schedule I found on a running website but I would really
appreciate any advice from all you avid runners out there. I'd love to hear any personal
experiences or thoughts from y'all regarding the training process cause I'm really kind of
flying at this thing blind!
Thanks!
Since it will be your first 13.1, don't worry about a time goal. Worry about being able to get passed any hurdles and finish. I had a time goal when I ran my first and missed the goal by 23 minutes. I was more upset at myself for missing my goal, than realizing the accomplishment I just made. Stick to your training and be sure to keep yourself well hydrated and stretched.
Hey there I'm interested in you 12 week schedule I found a 10 week one for beginners but im looking for others too
I'm new to this site, too, and just joined this group today, so my reply is a little late. Even so, I wanted to congratulate you on your decision to run a half marathon - it's no small feat! Also wanted to wish you luck! I completed my first half marathon on October 3rd and just ran my second one on Halloween. Both were really wonderful experiences, and I'm sure I'll do more in the future. Aside from two other 10K races I did a few months back, I hadn't done any racing in over 25 years (since I was a kid). It's gotten a little addicting. :)
Some advice...
My experiences probably wouldn't have been nearly as fun if I hadn't stuck faithly by my training plan. I really think that was key. I used the SmartCoach tool on the Runner's World website. It gave me a customized training plan that was easy to follow.
Also, my initial goal was to merely finish and not feel like I'd been hit by a Mack truck. Having that goal, vs. a time goal, really allowed the accomplishment to sink in without any level of disaapointment.
It sounds like you've already chosen a race, but if not, I'd recommend chosing an easy (flat!) course that is realtively close to home so you don't have any extra worries related to travel.
One piece of advice that another runner gave me was to fuel on the run. I hadn't really considered that I would need gel or something like that during my long runs, but when I finally did try fueling on the runs, it made a HUGE difference. (I personally like the Hammer brand gels and bars.)
The last piece of advice I would offer is to be confident and trust that all the training you've done will pay off! I got really nervous in the days leading up to my first HM (the tapering didn't help since I had lots of excess energy!). But trying keeping the perspective that I was prepared really helped!
Best of luck to you!
Just wanted to say hi!
I'm Nick and hoping to use livestrong.com to track my nutrient goals for my current 5k
training. My current 5k pace is 6:03 min / km and I'd love to see that change to the
better with a more balanced and nutrient-aware diet. Cheers to everyone!
I'm running my 6th 5K since Feb 2010 and I love it. The 38th
annual Oktoberfest @ Tempe Town Lake October 2, 2010 - 8:00AM
My first 5K was run in 30:33 minutes.
With each run since I've been able to shave only a few minutes off my time. My last run
on 9/4 was 26:26 minutes. This run I've set my goal at 25 minutes or less. Anybody have
any tips on getting my time down to under 20 minutes?
trying to get some food ideas. what do you guys eat before and after a run?
I'm going to college for nutrition and they say the most important thing to eat before working out (especially running) is carbohydrates. They fuel your muscles. A little bit of protein is a good idea too. Fat takes longest to digest, so it's usually not a good idea to eat much of it before a run. You want to try not to have too much fiber before either (like in fruits or vegetables) because it can be uncomfortable when running. Something like a whole grain granola bar and a glass of milk or whole grain toast with peanut butter is always a good option and I think it's tasty.
If it is a few hours before a run I have oatmeal (I typically run in the am). If I am waking up and heading out the door than I opt for a powerbar and water since it isn't hard on my stomach.
Don't eat anything too heavy on your stomach. Toast or a handful of cereal is pretty good. I eat a handful of Cheerios.
After I run, I load up on Gatorade and whatever I feel like eating.
I have toast with peanut butter.
Donwon, I run in the morning, so the bigger question for me is "what did I eat last night?" I've read studies that say one of the best drinks after a run is a glass of low-fat chocolate milk.
I recommend oatmeal with fruit and shaved almonds after a run. One Runner's World article said that it is the perfect post-run meal....works for me.
BTW, congratulations on your awesome start into running.
I think easily digestable foods before a race is key. About a hour before I run I might eat a small bananna or a container of Activia Vanilla Light with a handful of Organic Flax Plus Granola, maybe some fat free milk and always plenty of water. Post-run I have a clif bar and muscle milk or gatorade and more water. Happy Running

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I just started running 7 weeks ago. I did my first 5k in 39 minutes. I have another on July 10th and hoping to do better. Any tips?
Congratulations on your first 5K! My first one was 42 min so you did much better than me. Just keep at it!
Just got somewhat familiar with this site today. Seems very informative. I'm training for my FIRST marathon in Columbus (october 2010) Got lots of useful info by being a "blog creeper" =) I really don't do any schedule training (long runs, tempo etc) I just run. Try to make my runs longer each week. Does that make sense to most of you guys or do you really think I should form some sorta running plan that incorporates the above mentioned? Been running for years but guess not really training to do anything. Much advice needed. Thanks Amy
I have been running for years, and I have found that training for marathons, you are better off going by a schedule starting around 16 weeks out. (that way you can prevent injury and be prepared). I have used Hal Higdon but Galloway is also good. there are a lot of good training schedules out there. I am running a marathon in October also, so I will start my training in June, right now I am jogging and biking.
I'm training for my first marathon too! I've heard that it's a good idea to have a tempo run where you do some hill or speed work as well as a long run during the week. My doctor actually has run a marathon and she recommended the 16 week running plan that I'm on now. It's great because I run only about 3 days a week. Here's the link to it. It's a beginners training plan for first timers like us :)

new to the site, love daily plate ... I have lost about 25 lbs using the site and running. 5K in the morning ... cannot wait!

Currently getting ready to run a Hypothermic Half Marathon on Feb 7th. Temperature looks like it will be around -7C without wind, a perfect temperature for a race!
Good luck. Let us know how you do.
Hey,
I am going to run the race for life on 12 May 10.
I am not really a runner so need to train for this. I just wondered if anyone had any
tips?
It is 5k so probably doesn't seem like much to you but I don't want to injure myself as I
have never done anything like this.
Any help would be much appreciated.

the best advise i could give is start slow.jog for a min.or two then walk.keep repeating this untill you are comfy with it.then increase the jogging and cut back the walking.before you know it you will running the whole time.good luck.and always stretch before you go out.livestrong
Thank you for the advice :)

I would have to second the jog/walk advice. Don't feel let down or ashamed if you have to walk part of the course on race day either, at least your there putting in an effort.

ran the houston marathon on sunday.did it 2hrs 59 min.felt realy good.great day.looking forward to next year.livestrong
Ran 5.5 last night, feeling better!
Here I am in NY where it is currently in the low teens and with the wind chill factor making it feel into single digits. Is it safe to run in this kind of weather? I am not worried about running in the cold, what I am worried about is breathing in that cold air while I am running.
i lived in michigan.and we get some cold up there also(i now live in southeast texas,oh ya so nice)i never had any trouble with it.i sometimes think its just an excuse to not to train in the very cold.livestrong be strong.
I run on my treadmill in the winter but recently went on a vacation to Chicago for a week and had to run outside. It was fine except for New Year's Day I went to Lincoln Park for a 5 k and it was only 10 degrees. I also pushed myself to go pretty fast for the last mile so was taking nice deep breaths resulting in a sore throat for the next two days.
I think there is a limit to how low the temperature gets and my willingness to run outside!
running the houston marathon on the 17th of jan.feeling good.not going to run too hard just enjoy it.will be 50 this year so i am toneing it down a bit.enjoy it all from here on out.livestrong by livingstrong

thanks.i will and can help anyway i can.livestrong by livingstrong
JUst ran 12.2 miles(2:05)Good to be getting in good runs,but the speed isnt coming to me fast enough.Im greatful to being able to do sports and exercise,but I do want to be faster and be competitive,atleast in my age division!
good job on the run.dont get too wraped up in times.i know you want to be competitive in you age group.but it does take time to get faster.and doing both cycling and running its even harder.but you show you have the heart and dedication.so dont give up(not that i think you would)and keep working hard.livestrong by livingstrong
Ran 15 on Monday and just ran 6.1 this morning.
thats great my freind.i did a run walk on monday.but my ribs were hurtin a lot.i have a run on the weekend of oct.24th.the livestrong challenge.its only a 5k.i hope to be better by then.livestrong by livingstrong
Planning on running tommorow early.Sorry to hear about the ribs,just give them time to heal,I know it"s tough because your always active,but rest is the best medicine.I was a boxer back in the late 80"s to early 90"s,did it for 7 years competitively,and bruised and cracked ribs was always an issue,and the only thing we could do was rest and wait for them to heal.Dont worry because the good news is they heal stronger!Take care.JS

it is best to start by walking.get your body used to it.then jog for a few min.then walk a few.slowly increese the jogging.very slowly.your diet plays a big role in this.it takes just as mch focus as the running.good luck.livestrong
