Welcome to the sport!

My best advice:

Use the #NikeRunClub app. It has "Couch to 5/10k" plans (like others in this thread recommend), and the guided runs with @coachbennett are a game-changer.

Start slow. The race is long and in the end, it is only with yourself. Focus on how you feel, not on the metrics.

Show up for yourself. Consistency is key. (But with two young kids, it can be hard. I know.) Know why you run.

Try to have fun. Play around.

And celebrate your victories!

A nice and inspirational run with @coachbennett and Shalane Flanagan (in the #NikeRunClub app) through a dark and humid morning.

This was a good one, and even though I did not quite find my rhythm, I had a blast. Kept it easy and increased the effort slightly throughout.

It was a dark and terribly stormy morning, and to the beat of LCD Soundsystem's "45:33" I did a fartlek:
- 6:00 warm-up
- 2 x 1:30 @ 7/10 effort
- 4 x 1:00 @ 8/10
- 4 x 0:30 @ 9/10
- 4 x 0:15 @ 10/10
- warm-down until I got home

It was hard, and I got to really push myself, and it was fun, and I look forward to soon do it again.

Distance: 4.97k + some more not registered by the #NikeRunClub app

Had a blast with #NikeRunClub's "Worst Advice Ever Run" this morning.

"No pain, no gain."
"If you aren't #running hard, you're hardly running."
"Numbers don't lie."
"Sleep is for the weak."
"You need to run every day."
"Running is boring."

@coachbennett, my philosopher of running, humorously shredded all this terrible advice, setting me up for a fun run. It was just what I needed. Thank you.

Morning intervals: 8 x 80 secs of various fast paces. Again, mixing things up on speed runs (and in general) was so much fun.

Due to windchill, it felt like -7 celsius out there (this one's for you, @pfernandes). Cold, but nice and clear.

A minor issue with the #nikerunClub app is that it doesn't count the light running I do between the intervals. It is what it is.

Distance counted: 3.92k (total: 188.37k)
