Just ran my first marathon Today. Not sure how much I enjoyed it. 5 hours 40 min. Walked prob 5-6 miles total. My knees and quads were gone around mile 21. But I finished and it the weather couldn’t have been better and the course was nice as it was through the Hampton’s .

I don't when I started a few years ago I was consistently doing yoga to help with flexibility and breathing, I am 43 btw and started in my 40'sPosting for accountability. Have always hated running. Late 30s now though and decided I need to a) get back in shape in a safe way and b) transition to tennis as a sport to play from basketball (as seems safer to play for 35-50 year olds).
Going to spend the next 6 months trying to get into some sort of jogging. Put in 1.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday. Setting the bar low and going for 2x a week. My goal is mainly to keep improving how fast I’m able to run for 20 mins over the next 6 months.
Anyone have any Spotify recommendations of mixes or something that are good to hear while running?
Tangent question for any of you 35+ runners do you do any kneesovertoes guy work to stay healthy for running? I did 5 mins of backward walking on the treadmill…too lazy to do more than that currently.
I do a routine of stretches, hip flexors workouts, lunges/squats etc before runs. I usually spend more time on the pre-run workout than the run itself. Helped a lot with my knees.Tangent question for any of you 35+ runners do you do any kneesovertoes guy work to stay healthy for running?

I feel you. Getting into the routine is a drag at first but once you build a routine and see the results it becomes 2nd nature. I don't feel comfortable running without doing my routine at this point.this is probably where I struggle most which didn’t help me at all doing this marathon. I minimal stretch: and when I do it’s for like 15 seconds pre run.
Thats it for another year of #NTrunning.
More running in 2020 than in 2019. Not sure what 2021 looks like in terms of distance and totals.
I did get a Garmin Fenix 6x in December. I’m enjoying the suggested workouts, but struggle on slow runs cause I’m not use to running slow!
Damn 7 min mile!? I can only dream about those numbers my best life time is 9 min. I’ve cut it down from 15 to 9min I added strength training to my routine. I felt like that helped a lot.How do you guys work on speed.? I'm slow AF... Lol...
If I do push my self to run a 7min mile, I get absolutely winded and can't run much longer....
I can run a 10k but I'm soooooo slow....
How do I work on speed AND distance.?

Slow and steady wins the race as long as my pace is improving that’s all I care aboutBro I guess we're both tortoises.
