      After a long rainy season kept me from running, went out this afternoon and just went for it. Doing a 10k under an hour has been one of my top goals since I started. Finally happened. I can certainly attest do doing more cardio in the gym and focusing on legs that really gave me the push to go faster and endure longer. Now to try and do this once a week 😆😆😆 small steps. I’m proud of myself for getting here though!!

          @ZackB Yeah I saw that 9:55 and thought, I’m not losing it this deep into it. Pulled through!

            @Jcaz6996 flying to Tokyo today and didn’t want any soreness for the holiday so cruised a 3:27. This year my A race is a 100 miler on trail in America and my B race is a 50km on trail in UK so this was always a training run for those. This morning i am moving around pretty much as normal so thats a pass of the test. Going that speed meant I could really take in the experience, talk to other runners, and do a lot of high fives.

              @Nik that’s impressive man. What 100 miler are you doing? I need to get back into running again. Ran the Jeju ultra in 2015 so it’s been a while

                @ZackB Eastern States in Pennsylvania in August. Will be more climbing than the two other 100’s I’ve done and hotter so looking forward to the challenge.
                Any races sparking your interest?

                  @Nik I’ve always wanted to do Leadville but I need some serious training at this point in my life.

                        Thanks for the motivation fellas. Got out for a decent and slow run yesterday. One day at a time.

                            Looking for advice here guys.
                            Need to buy ‘something’ to keep me informed of: heart rate, calories burned and beep whenever I go over a set heart rate limit. Any additional functions will be useful and nice-to-have further down the line.
                            I’ll initially use it for brisk walks and contolled cycling. Will likely jog too later on as I (IF ) I get in better shape .
                            Thank you for all suggestions.

                            The journey is the objective.

                              @motojobobo I’d recommend Garmin and I think most of them will have a heart rate monitor that you should be able to set to alert you if your HR goes to a certain number.

                                @motojobobo agree with @Nik on this. I’ve loved all my garmins. You should check out dcrainmaker.com he reviews everything and makes recommendations for cycling, running etc.

                                    Finally in the above average zone. Only by .1 - another small step towards my fitness goals. While this was a walk. (My 5k this morning was 42.5) I’m still taking it as a win. For the next 4 weeks I’ll be in a fitness competition at work. I’m hoping to get my runs and walks all in the above average zone by week 4. Let’s go! 💪🏻🏃👟

                                        @Fadez awesome job man. I’ve been trying to get my cardio fitness up on my watch too. It’s definitely been motivating me to get out there consistently again.

                                            Did my first Half marathon Race today after not running for over 10 years .
                                            Started back running again at the start of the year been logging some decent miles and picked up a few injuries which has set me back but happy to compete Bristol Half Marathon in 1:29:27 on a Hot day . Think it was 25c ☀️
