To buy a garmin or not/ that is the Question! I want to…but do I need to! I have an old Apple Watch that works fine. But I am a regular runner now and trying to track fitness.
What do’u think? To buy or not to?

What shoes are u running in? ai have @saucony.bsky.social Guide 18s. Gait analysis said they were best but surprisingly gave me my usual shoe size and when I run after about 3-4k I get pins and needles in my feet. Should it have been bigger size?

Been training for a half marathon since Jan & started w/ the couch to 5k. I have built this to 7.5k & then did 10k last month. Now I can barely run 1k without walking some of it as my calfs hurt loads.
Any help on how I stop calf/Shin pain & increase endurance? #RunningPunks

The level of anxiety & frustration I am feeling whilst reading #IShallNotHate by @AbuelaiIzzeldin is unexpectedly high.
I admire his desire to build bridges but I genuinely ask when he says “suffering on both sides” how can he equate the same for both oppressor and oppressed?

Last Sunday did my 1st 10k- slow and struggled. I have until end of Sept to prep for half marathon. I want speed and endurance. How do I get that. And How do I stop the aches and pains after long run? #RunningPunks

I did my first 10k race over the weekend. It wasn’t fast nor pretty! But it was done! I felt elated! Such races have such a buzz! Now hooked on buying running shoes! Ran in @Saucony but felt a bit of rubbing despite gait analysis for it.
What do u recommend?

What a vibe!
And I beat my own target and I most definitely wasn’t last! #RunningPunks

Just started reading 1971- A people’s history of Bangladesh, Pakistan & India.
So far it seems promising- the writer, Anam Zakariya a Pakistani Canadian writer tries to give an honest take from the people of the country & the propagandists are left out of the narrative- should be interesting.

I am meant to be running my first ever 10k this weekend. I have managed to get to 7.5k but have since had a kidney infection and today have a sore throat & cough. I really really want to race! Need to be fit enough to get to that finish line! #RunningPunks #RunningBug

I think I have the running bug! Every time I go out I hate it & want to stop in the first min or 2 but I push & when I finish I want to go out again & smash my target! 5k today done in. 47 mins- 1 min faster then my last.
How do I work on my speed? I want distance and speed? #RunningPunks #Running

Week 7 run 3 done. 3 runs of 25mins nonstop- well actually today I did 43 mins nonstop running and over 5k. Smiling away! This app is amazing! I am so chuffed. Slow. But speed we can work on once we get the endurance!

3.59km first thing whilst fasting. 25mins non stop running (slow yes- but non stop running!) and without water.
Be interesting to see how I fare throughout the day!
I am buzzing! #C25k #RunningPunks

Ok-no idea how accurate this is, as I had to come off my old & not so great treadmil & run around the house inc up & down the stairs! After a day of fasting (yes no water too) & I’ve done 25 mins of non stop running. Very slow but 3.16km done in 30mins! During Ramadan!

I see these travel vloggers doing the #NoMoneyChallenge in third world countries where they try and get free rickshaw rides and street food from poor vendors! Why! Is that appropriate! They wouldn’t dare do it in Europe or the USA so why in Asia and Africa!

Spent a lot of time worrying about not being able to do this…but I did it. 20 whole mins of running w/o walking and no stopping! 5 weeks ago I could barely run for 60 secs a time! Now 20 mins! 20 whole mins! #Couch25k it actually works
