Hey. I thought I’d give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running… eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how’s your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc… if it’s popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don’t)

    Not much of a runner, but ive been finally consistent doing weight training in the gym and I try and finish off around 2 workouts a week with a mile run. I always hate it, but very much looking forward to the day it doesn’t hurt. Hopefully soon enough I’ll be running a couple miles easy.

      You can get there!

      I remember those painful early days. It might sound counterintuitive, but the more I run the more I enjoy it. Add more miles if you can. Go slow and easy. You’ll start enjoying, or at least not hating it, sooner than later.

          Good! And if you have the time, see if you can add one more run per week. It eventually produces a positive feedback loop. Just don’t go crazy and jump up to massive distances or days right away. You really want to ease into it with this sport.
