What’s your avg HR on these runs? For someone just starting out, that’s pretty aggressive on mileage and pace. Unless you were a seasoned runner and just getting back into it.
I’m not just starting out.
I have been running for a long time, but never really pushed myself beyond 4 miles consistently.
Did a “train for a 10k” run plan on the app and it is more timed runs, rather than distance.
I used to do cross country years ago and, until last year, ran inconsistently.
Never really done any races though

Fair enough. Probably still a bit hot if you’re intending to train for a half. My easy run pace for my last training block was 8:30 to 9:00 per mile. HR usually in the 130s/140s…though that varies for everyone. I ended up not running the half and did a 10 miler instead and finished in 1:07:28, then did a 5k shortly after in 19:14. I’m far far far from the fastest guy on here, but just wanted to give you some reference for training pace vs race pace. Keep easy days easy and hard days hard.

Oh, I know that I am not going to run that pace for a half marathon.
It was a 55 minute run and it felt good while running it.
I would be much slower on any race.
I could pull off that or faster for a 10k.
I would have to actually train for a half.

But you probably could run that fast or faster for a half with training no problem. Just get some variation in your running. 3 or 4 days per week, run slow, 1 day run fast, 1 day run long. Keep adding mileage.

7 at 920 pace today, 62 degrees and overcast. Enjoying these cooler runs while they last.

85 and humid here so I'm about to knock out 10 on the treadmill. I got a nice cut on my toe so I've been running with it wrapped in gauze and bandages. When you start getting injured getting out of the shower instead of running, it's about time to hang it up

What treadmill do you have and how do you like it? We have a 2 year old and just found out #2 is on the way, so im looking into getting a treadmill to be able to squeeze miles in during the week.

Nordictrack 2950. I got a good deal on this one because it was a display model. I probably wouldn't buy it again. I love it when it's working well, but the software is bloated, slow, and pushes you to buy their workout membership every time you start the machine. If I ever have to replace it I'll probably go with a high end Sole.

FB marketplace is loaded with high end treadmills for cheap. If I were in the market, I’d probably splurge on a used Peloton one. Or keep my eye out for a slatted curved one like an Assault runner.

5/5 - 7 Mi w/ 7x 0.5mi repeats
5/6 - 4 Mi @ 8:54 ave
5/8 - 5 Mi @ 8:39 ave
5/9 - 13 Mi @ 9:00 ave
It rained for 12 of those 13 miles Saturday morning. Good news, it wasn't hot. Bad news, the chafing in places I never had before.

10 yesterday on street, 10 today on trails. Beautiful and quiet morning on those lake trails today.

Debating on getting a short run this afternoon. Running a 50k in July is starting to feel a like a dumb idea.

Another 40 mile week done. Just stacking them bricks

My running consistency has been tanked by sick kids and trying to taper off a bit until July/August. Decided to work on increasing my cadence as I was typically averaging 160 at 8:30/mile, now I am averaging 170ish at 8:30/mile and would like to be consistently between 170-175.
Weird thing, increasing cadence I suppose changed my footstrike. I jumped on the Superblast 2 hype train and liked them initially, now they feel pretty meh. Got some Evo SL Exo coming to test out.

Nike Vomero Plus for $108 at Nordstrom.com. Just ordered some…ugh.
Posted on 5/23/26 at 9:10 am to jordan21210
Still knocking out 2 sub-threshold sessions a week, averaged 6:40/mi on my reps yesterday. Skipping days when my son decides 4am is a good wakeup time
Was it you who ordered some Chinese shoes? I want to try some Dynafish or Li-Ning but i don't know the best way to get them.

Yup. I have Li Ning, you can get Li Ning and Anta on Amazon, 100% legit.
I have the Feidian 5 Challenger, there is also the 6 available and they are very similar but most reviewers like the 5 better.
The Anta C202 is a similar shoe and gets similar hype.
I think Dynafish has a US online distributor now. If you google it, they should pop up.

Spent all last week in Savannah, GA. It has to be the greatest barefoot running city I’ve ever been to. The irregularities in the sidewalks there feel amazing on the feet. Did 6 easy miles every day. Forsyth park is where it’s at in the afternoons. Some top shelf talent out there. Wow.

3m @ 11:00 pace
Haven’t been updating due to poor internet while at work but I have been averaging 12-18 mile week and a 6-10 mile weekly long run for the last month.
