Just started running. Ran my first mile.

Yes. Progress slowly to avoid injury and add in some injury-prevention strengthening stuff (easy google search).

Don't forget to stretch.

The more you put into it the more you get out of it.

Good luck bruh

How much slower should I take it? Isn't not being able to even finish a mile to breezing by it in under a week way to quick?

>>40415983
No criticism here. Just talking generally for some stuff to keep in mind for the long term.

I've been through the whole smoking thing too, always good to see other people getting off that stuff.

Yeah its trash dude. Oddly enough I used the ecig which is not a tobacco alternative and not meant to quit but helped me quit. Fuck big tobacco.

Dude, congrats on taking steps to improve yourself. First, the running:

Try to keep good form. Shorter, quick steps are better for both speed and joint health. Try to land on your mid-foot. Reduce your vertical travel by as much as possible. Make sure you stretch, dynamic stretches before hand, static stretches after.

Now, your final point. Don't say fuck big tobacco. Don't take any blame from yourself. If you let up on your routine and let up on quitting, you will once again blame the company, and not yourself. Recognize that you are in control of your life, not them, not anyone else, and you will have a stronger willpower to quit.

Best of luck mate

Yeah don't overdo it or you'll get shin splints.

Take rest days, be sure to get a lot of protein just as if you were lifting. Incorporate lifting or at least bodyweight routines at somepoint for that aesthetic goal

This is seriously the only thread worth a damn right now. Gj, hope you get to two and all the best to annons looking to beat their PR.

I wanna be at 1.5 miles by the end of next week...would that be pushing it?
