My muscles become taut, they hurt so bad and start to quiver. I can walk fast, but run? Not. No, I haven't practiced like you, but I want you to know how awesome you are.Of One Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252130287155517873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-73952400606098594752011-09-11T23:26:33.855-05:002011-09-11T23:26:33.855-05:00New follower to your blog.

Sorry I am not a runner, so I can't help you with that. <br /><br />I love that you are living to be healthy, that is more important than the weight. Remember the slower you take it off, you have much better chance of leaving it off. It's because your doing it the right way and not some fad diet. You should be very proud of yourself.<br /><br />Take care and Blessing always!<br />JenCanadianmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943698655063521752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-5483243987727049822011-09-11T21:35:03.240-05:002011-09-11T21:35:03.240-05:00I am no expert on running but be gentle with yours...I am no expert on running but be gentle with yourself.

I would agree with the comments above: run for fun, first, right now. You will get better and faster and build more stamina. Be soooo careful that you do not injure yourself.<br /><br />We had home grown green beans today, not from our garden, but they were terrific as I am sure yours are.

You are doing your best and exercising hard and that matters a lot more than a specific time or numbers IMO. <br /><br />With that said, I'm not sure if it's possible on a treadmill but something I've heard is that lengthening your strides can encourage you to go a little faster.<br /><br />Either way, be proud! You're doing wonderful. :)"KT"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13630296359853551814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-28671151457937156822011-09-11T15:26:17.473-05:002011-09-11T15:26:17.473-05:00Im still working on running the whole thing!!

Hes been running and losing weight for about 18 months now, and he just now did his first under 30. He said his big help to finally jump the 30 hurdle was intervals of bursts. He would do a regular pace for 3 minutes and then fast for 1 minute, then regular for 3, and keep repeating. Eventualy he would go 2/2. <br />BUT, make sure you have fun!!!! and do it injury free!!<br />Blessings<br />DebDebsdailylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520412949675963572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-62773780719262324612011-09-11T05:35:19.080-05:002011-09-11T05:35:19.080-05:00I agree with the run for fun.

Are you doing strength training to help the muscles you use to become stronger? Are you practicing the right breathing techniques for running? I find if I start my runs slower and finishing the run really hauling it my times are pretty dang good.<br />Good Luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-52853914766757008812011-09-11T03:18:58.563-05:002011-09-11T03:18:58.563-05:00I fully believe in the previous advice to RUN FOR ...I fully believe in the previous advice to RUN FOR FUN and forget about time. If you push a lot, too much, you may injure yourself and have to give it up. (I've seen this happen to more than one person who pushed, pushed, and ended up with injuries...)<br /><br />Go at the pace your body allows without injury and do it so that you feel joy. I think if you focus on pleasure and play of it, the time will follow. Relax...enjoy...and don't angst. <br /><br />Oh, and the linky post for the challenge is up, so you can add your link.<br /><br />Going to bed (way too late, again).Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-72772677097202665192011-09-10T23:03:46.449-05:002011-09-10T23:03:46.449-05:00Personally I think you should try to just run it f...Personally I think you should try to just run it for fun. Don't worry about time. I ran a 5k today and I am pretty sure it wasn't in 30 mins or less. Nothing wrong with that. <br /><br />There is no reason you HAVE to do it in 30 mins. The fact that you will do it and finish it will be enough. <br /><br />Just go and run all 3.1 miles and be excited and proud that you did it!!!!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665986731949291089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769490957271846400.post-20736711571289917372011-09-10T23:00:25.973-05:002011-09-10T23:00:25.973-05:00Have you tried running for a longer period of time...Have you tried running for a longer period of time at a slower speed? Maybe try a 3 - 4 mile run, but slower. My brother is a runner, I'll ask his opinion. He's planning to run 14 miles with a friend tomorrow! His friend is actually running 21 miles but he's letting her do the first 7 mile loop and then he'll join in for the last 14 miles. I can't even imagine. :-)Debbi Does Dinner Healthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091564423796146580noreply@blogger.com
