Everyone is at a different point running. I can't keep up with the guy that has a running store in Cookeville. Can't let it get to you

Good advice

Did 3 miles today but had to stop for a minute and walk twice. Tried not to get frustrated just had a bad day I guess

I incorporate walking into a lot of my runs especially on steep hill. Many times you can walk it almost as fast as you can run it.

Also walking can help keep you strong for the end of the run. It's a trick employed by many marathoners & ultramarathoners but works just as well for any distance especially if you are new at running.

Can't let walking get you down... just try to finish the run and thats all that matters. k:

I like the way they look. Ate they comfortable?

I have only run in them 4 times now but so far they are incredible comfortable. I think I did between 5 and 7 miles in those four runs. I suggest them.

5k last night and included 6 stadiums in my 5k to try and help with the hills during my runs. I also ran four sprints after my 5k. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. I could tell a difference

Miserable run in the rain last night!! But I had to do it.

Thanks. My goal was to break 1:45. The hills sucked. I need to run more hills

Question to you runners about ear buds. I use iPhone and use the normal white buds but they seem to fall out a lot while I run. Does anyone have any that they use that seem to fit snugly without sliding around in the ears and falling out?

I use some that have the over the ear hook. Not pretty but they don't fall out.

I think I'm going to have to start using some of those. Frustrating to have to keep pushing them back in during my runs
