Ran my first Half Marathon yesterday
Hey guys! I kind of hate running, and got into it as pure means of getting fit and better cardio. Started running last October with a couple of friends, where the most experienced one is sort of our coach. I could run for only 3-4km to this now (though I have always been sports inclined or kind of active) so I'm feeling pretty good and hating it less haha. Maybe even trying to go for a better time next. Cheers!

If you’re confused about running shoes, this is the simplest way to think about it
When I first started getting into running more, I had no idea what shoes I actually needed. Every video/article made it seem like you need a whole lineup.
What made it way simpler for me:
- 1 everyday shoe for most runs
- 1 faster shoe for workouts or races
That’s it. You really don’t need much more unless you want to.
I think people overcomplicate it and end up buying stuff they don’t actually need.
What are you guys running in right now?
I put together a simple breakdown of what I’ve been using too if anyone’s interested.

Is a 6 minute improvement in 2 months good?
I completed my first 5k Feb 8 at roughly 45-46mins
Tonight I completed that same 5k in 39-40mins.
Basically I’m wondering if that’s on track for 2 months time?
Some extra context this wasn’t a consistent pace, this was more of an interval run. My first 5k was something similar but not really as it was more me not breathing properly and gasping for air like a fish.

Making slow improvements, any tips?
Little by little I’ve been improving my conditioning. Just looking for any tips overall. Starting to fall in love with it.

Is 4.6 mph for an hour a good starting place for a new runner?
I just did 4.6 miles in an hour and was wondering if this is considered decent (of course, I know everyone starts at their own pace so there’s not one objective “decent”). Did 4.6 mph for 45 minutes a couple days ago and wanted to push myself a little more, and holy crap did those last ten minutes hit me today 😭
