Im new to running 5k-28:42 ,10k-1:05:21 and training for a half marathon in September. Thinking to buy a running watch mainly to see heart rate and recovery. Is buying a running watch is a good decision at this point? Will it be worth it?
Im also a college student and I cannot afford the entry mid level garmin and coros. What all options do i have or should i buy a used garmin.

I used to run at Malad Backroad but they have dug up parts of it and not leave much room to run. I'm looking for routes or parks that I can run in the evening for distances like 10 to 25K.
I can not run outside since I'm a girl and the area around me isn't safe. I was wondering if running on my roof would be optimal its a small space. Some tips would be nice im looking to improve my endurance.
I've just started running recently in the morning and completed my first 5k in 40 mins. I tracked this run on the strava app through my phone and i think i can reward myself with a watch now. Since i am a student i do not have a big budget so please recommend me watches under 5k that i can use for tracking my runs and swims as well. I researched a bit about the amazfit bjp 3 but its sold out everywhere...
I've been running for a month and am able to do 5k in 40mins now.. I know it's pretty basic compared to others but I'm so happy. I couldn't even run a km and now can do 5... Woaaah, now aiming for 10k. Also thank you for being active you all, this community rocks.
Hi so i recently took up running after being in the gym for over 4 years. Im looking to lose some weight and hopefully run a decent 5 and 10k.
What i wanted to ask is that my runs usually go at around 150 spm cadence when im pushing myself and around 140-145 on my easy pace. I am 187 cm in height and like 108 kgs currently. So is my cadence okay for someone who is starting out or do i need to focus on reducing my stride length to get it to 180. I dont feel like im over striding most of the time. But everywhere i look online it says 150 spm is too low.
Any insight is appreciated.
Just started running from April. Initially was doing brisk walking but now have the stamina to jog. But my shins and knees started paining. Took a break, shin recovered but knee is still paining. Need advice.
I am current doing a virtual walk/jog/run challenge of 3 km daily. And going to participate in a 200km virtual challenge to be covered in 28 days
10 days ago I was 67, now I am 65, lost 2kgs but still in overweight category. Running as a fat guy in summer is very hard, not to mention 90+ humidity in the mornings where i live. Average resting HR dropped from 58 to 56 this week. Have been taking about 60-70grams protein to not slow down. Doing lunges and squats for keeping the legs in optimum shape. My PR came when I was 61kgs. I gain fast and I lose weight fast, that's a superpower i suppose.
Adding this as a progess for my own accountability
I have tried interval training for the first time , I have used this 4x4.
Interval Splits:
6:01/km (HR 168)
5:40/km (HR 170)
5:41/km (HR 181)
5:10/km (HR 180)
These are my 4 interval splits.
My current v02 max is 38.
Is this method sustainable for v02 max increase
My current plan (3 runs nd 4 weight lifting sessions) - Interval/tempo(alternative weeks)(30 min) , easy run(1 hr), long easy run(90 min). And 4x week(upper-lower split).
Any insights will be appreciated.
I started running 8 weeks ago. I followed a YouTube playlist called couch to 5k. After 8 freaking weeks I realised whenever the trainer said 6.5 speed on the treadmill on video . It was 6.5 miles per hour.I did the entire 8 weeks of training in 6.5 km per hour. Today 24 mins the trainer said we covered 4k today. I realised I F ed it up. What to do now. Should I do the entire 8 weeks again.

Hi,
I’m new to running and till now have done timed 5K and 10K at very snail pace. I want to do a semi-decent 10K to qualify for upcoming Vedanta Half Marathon (in Delhi) and need a timed 10K run which is officially measured, gives certificate, etc.
People suggest looking at IndiaRunning but the details aren’t clear. Hoping to find someone here who knows any upcoming runs that will work as qualifier for upcoming longer races. Thanks.
So I am training for my first HM in nike run club, after every long run my ankles are very sore and I have to spray pain reliever. I am using Nike Pegasus 39, which might be causing some issue but I don't want to blame my tools before making sure I am ready. I have been running for 11 weeks and my plan contains both speed runs and recovery runs and this is the longest run I did so far. Even today's run I made sure I run at a very easy pace but by 17th km I have to break for a drinks break then suddenly the pain hit me but still managed to finish anyway. Is it just that I am not ready or something else is wrong? Apart from running I am not doing any other workouts(I have gym pass but no time to go as I have 5 runs a week)
Woke up at 5:30 and stayed in bed till 6. Then I ate bread jam for the run then sat down on the sofa and had zero motivation for the run.
Later I did 20 minutes of yoga and called it a day.
Hi all,
I completed my first half marathon (21.1K), and to celebrate it i want to gift myself my first "proper" running shoe🥳.
About my run:
I did the half marathon almost non-stop. I only paused 2 times quickly to hydrate because there were no on the go hydration stations. Around 18K it got really tough my right leg started cramping, and around 20.5K my toes literally started curling inward, so I had to stop for ~20 seconds.
Still, I'm ridiculously proud because this was my first ever 21K, done solo on a beach, almost non-stop. No race atmosphere, just me pushing through. The drive back home with my favourite song playing was one of those core memory moments.
Also based on my cramping/toe curling, does that scream pacing/hydration/electrolytes issue... or just "first half marathon things"?😅
F 26. Not asking medical advise instead from general running experience is that a common thing?
These are my running stats from May till now. Ran around 80 km average in March & April but from past week facing pain below my knees especially left one. Can hard surface of park be a reason?
Should I take few days off or see a sports injury specialist.
I run 3-4 days a week
Hey guys, I just started running like 2 months ago and everytime I’m doing an easy run, my last calf starts hurting within the first 500 meters. But the pain goes away if I start running faster but then it’s no more an easy run. What do you think could be the reason?
Op ran 15 K
got a cramp in the middle.. but all went good.
