JamieLogical 8,710 Posted March 23, 2015 The feeling of accomplishment at the end of a race is the best rush ever! Hopefully that will motivate you to keep it up. Congratulations on the completion of your first of what I am sure will be MANY races! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
par1959 470 Posted March 23, 2015 Good for you. I started training the 2nd of Feb and finished my first 15K on saturday. Goal is half maratnon in mid April. If you havent already, research Jeff Galloway. He developed the walk run training method. My current pace is run 3 walk 1. Lots of good info on Jeff's web site. Once I figured out I could run its become addictive. I also highly recommend fitbit. Get those 10,000 steps in each day. It's suprising how much that helps.

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted April 15, 2015 I ran my first one this weekend (Redbud Classic in Oklahoma City). It was such a great feeling of accomplishment. I did the 9 week C25K program. Ran the whole thing and did it in a respectable 34 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
