Interesting. My plantar fascia, achilles, calves, and hamstrings have all been tight lately. I’m taking some time off and doing a lot of stretching. Also working on my calf strength. Seems to be working a bit. Feeling pretty good at the moment, but I know from experience that can change quick!

Solid effort this morning but it was tough. Lots of walking breaks. I stopped running too soon. Glad i showed up for myself. You guys motivate me!
Happy running

So I decided to try the Runna app. I’m doing a 6 week 5K improvement. I thought it would be a good jumping off point to see if I like the programming. This was my very first run 
No walk breaks 
but a few traffic breaks. This felt easy but the AI says I didn’t run easy 
I looked at the whole 6 weeks and it’s a crazy ramp up. I guess because I said I’m not a beginner. What’s crazy to me is there is a 9 mile run in a few weeks!

So do we edit the thread title for the new year or start a new thread? Almost 2026 folks.
I got a late start and my unmotivated mind almost stopped me but i did a treas walk and run. Good thing about the tread is i can maintain a pace.
Proud i showed up today

I just extend the year like I did last year. I don’t feel like we have enough posts for a whole new thread
Nice negative splits!!!

I’ve seen other people do strength workouts but I can’t find that section. Do you know where those workouts are at on the app?

Ha, I can’t find it now. I know I’ve seen it. I don’t have an active plan at the moment and everything is a little different. I am setting up a new plan, I’ll see if it shows up after that.

Ok, yeah, I set up a plan and now I see strength, among other things, in the Manage Plan section.
I don’t know if you need a specific race goal or just a plan. I haven’t actually used it, but I see it there!

Thanks! I found it. I’m going to check it out. They have a pilates and yoga section. I feel like I get enough strength work from my CG trainer

Well that was hard to do with swollen feet Thankfully the bottom side has gone down a lot but there was still discomfort. 5K sunday streak lives on

Awesome! I start my new Runna plan tomorrow. I’m excited and a bit nervous as I have some big goals. Here’s to hoping I stay relatively injury free!
How are you liking Runna so far? What is it, your second week?

Today was the end of week 1. I am liking it so far. I appreciate the different types of runs. Garmin had the same type of runs each week but with different distances. I did like the yoga session I tried from them so I may add another one of those one in place of the pilates cause I didn’t like that. Have you used the community section?
What is your new plan for?
Ps- It keeps telling me “I’m ahead of the pack” and should change my goal but I doubt that I can hold the pace it thinks I can. If it still says that after this week I’ll change to the new pace it wants from me.

I love the different workouts. I actually PR’d a month ago, which, at my age, was pretty fun. I have to say I think I owe it all to Runna. I mean, yeah, I did the work, but I loved the workouts. Having workouts pushed to my watch every day and then having my pace guided by the watch was also a revelation!
I told Runna I am shooting for a half marathon at the end of May. So, it’s a long way out there. I did add a “B” race in April, so it will factor that in too. I will run other races along the way. My Runna AI Overlord will give me a slight tongue lashing on those days, but I’m used to getting yelled at (by humans and non-humans).

I like having all the extra analytics from Runna. This was a hard workout and I missed the pace on the middle longer intervals but I tried. Only way to get better is to keep doing it.

Runna had a little talk with me yesterday and suggested I dial back my paces. I agreed, so everything was recalculated. The right thing to do, but I was still a little depressed.

Runna chastised me for not hitting the paces from my last post 
We shall see how tomorrow goes. I have a 7.5 mile run which blows my mind. I’m doing a 5k improvement plan and that seems so far.
