    Restarting a Zero to 5k and then on to 10k.

    I’ll have to start with walking and dieting to lose weight before I start running. I’ll continue the diet while I run. My goal is to lose 50 lbs this year and increase my health overall.

    I have been running half marathons in 2023, and though there’s no speed improvement, the last race I didn’t feel much pain and the recovery was much shorter. This is notable for me because I injured my ACL 10 years ago, and now my knee is better than ever since then.

    I’ll have to train more though, sub 2 hrs half marathon is still so far away 😅

    After having a back injury that has kept me from running all year, I finally had surgery at the end of November.

    2023: I have walked two ParkRuns (23rd and 25th December) since surgery. 2024: Run. I’m not allowed (surgeon’s instructions) to run until at least March, but hopefully after that I’ll be out of the gate like a Melbourne Cup winner!

    I’m hoping to move from running 5Ks to 10Ks more regularly. I’ve been able to do 5K runs most days now.

    I started running this year! I couldn’t even run a quarter mile when I started and my longest run this year was 9.2 miles. I’m training for a half marathon in April!

    I switched from 5k to 10ks but no improvement in time, so hopefully in 2024 that will change

    @qooqie Starting from couch, I ran a 10k race and then another five minutes faster, four month later. Hoping to get to under one hour mark by the end of 2024.
