Do we have any avid runner amoungst us? Just starting to get into it. Ran 3.5 miles today at around 10 min mile. Pretty slow but I spent the last 5 years whoring and drinking my way around Tuscaloosa.
I ran in a pair of New Balance 993 today but I think I need to get a lighter pair. They seemed heavy and my ankles were a little sorer than id like them to be. Overall though not to displeased with my progress today all things considered.
Do y'all run outdoor or on a treadmill? What kind of distances do y'all do? General discussion welcome and encouraged.

Outdoor. My neighborhood has a natural 5.1 k loop. If it's at night I run once and if I have time in the day I run twice around. So between 5.1-10.2 k. At 5.1 k it's about 8 a mile and 10.2 k about 9.5.
Edit: 5 k is a little less than 3.5 miles

Try running outside. You use 30% more oxygen compared to a treadmill. Also the wind resistance you feel helps you work harder. I'm just starting out too, kinda.

I'm walking with the hope of eventually getting up to running, but I don't know that I'll ever be able to with my knee. I've gotten to where I can't stand to walk on a treadmill in a gym and luckily Louisville has a great parks system.
I got a lighter pair of New Balances so I could go sockless and found out real quick it just isn't happening.

I run about 25 miles a week and have done several half marathons. I usually run on the treadmill in the summer and winter and outdoors when its tolerable in the Houston hear. I try to knock out 4-5 miles a day, five days a week at around a 7 minute pace on a good day.
Personally, I love the New Balance Minimus shoes for running. Your legs are sore as hell for the first few runs but after that they are awesome.
Dont feel bad about your pace, theres actually a lot of evidence that the optimal distance/speed for runs is 3-5 miles at a time at an 8-10 minute pace. The benefits start dropping off after that. I run faster just because Ive been doing it long enough that I dont get the runners high anymore with a slower pace

If you're serious about running - Asics gel kayano. Get "last years model" online to avoid the hefty price tag.

I am a vagina and elliptical. Too many years of track and cross country makes running pretty painful.
