Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

Been running 3x a week as religously as possible since maybe May. I'm using an app called Just Run which is designed to slowly build you up to doing a nonstop a 5k. I've really taken my time with it and have just reached the point where I'm actually getting into the 5k sessions which feels great. I've also gotten back into a consistent weightlifting regime, so overall this is probably the best I've heen taking care of myself since high school.

I don't have a particular goal besides sticking to it and skipping as few exercises as possible/forcing myself to do it even when I don't feel like it. It would be cool to graduate to some 10k's maybe before the new year though.

This sounds awesome dude. Taking it slow is a great move - really helps to prevent injuries. Once you get to 5k, I think you'll find the hurdle to 10k is lower than the initial hurdle of 5.

Thank you, and yeah I've struggled with shinsplints on and off in the past so going slow really helped (and finding decent shoes).
