So the last thread seemed quite popular, let's do it again.

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

Are there any tricks for someone trying to improve? Is it just repetition? I'm currently hitting 5k's most days but I feel like that's my limit. New runner - only 1st year.

@EddieTee77 @davidalso I personally find signing up for a race very motivating. Maybe register for a 10k, and then follow a training plan? That will get you doing different kinds of training sessions.

That's a good idea. If I paid money for it, I'm more committed and more likely to try to work out a training plan.

@EddieTee77 Exactly. And you get a great feeling of accomplishment after the race that can motivate you to train for the next one.

You're right. That'll ensure it becomes a true long term hobby as well.
