Hi again,

That's not slow running, that's sightseeing. :>

Seriously, it is the same pace I do but I am training for the Brisbane (half) marathon on the 23rd. After that, I will be cutting back to 5k twice during the week and 9-10k on the weekend. If you are still looking at that time, we could give it a go. What area of NL are you from?

Strolls?

Thank you anyway... I shall work on my speed! I only started running in the last few months it is all new to me, hence the need to find a running partner.

Good luck with your 1/2 marathon.

Hi,

Thank you...I am already visualizing the post race massage.

If I am still walking, I will update this thread after the event to see if you are still looking.

Don't worry about your speed too much. That will come...just keep running.

One tip...For long runs, I was trained to do cycles of 10 minutes running, 1 minute walking and will be doing the marathon that way. People that run steady tend to slow down after a while so you do catch up with them. The one minute walking lets you recuperate and go faster during the 10 minute part of the cycle. If you can’t run for 10 minutes steady, work up to it. Start with 5 and 1’s.

Oh yes, there is a running event coming up in North Lakes at the private school...I believe it is the weekend after next. A good way to start fun runs if you are interested. I may be doing the 6K.

Cheers,

CanAussie

I am new to DBay and am looking for a running partner as well. Your pace and length would suit me. What time of day do you run? At the moment I can be flexible - morning or evening. Be great to find a running buddy. Barb
