Hey, I lost 43 pounds and started running to get into shape. I started a blog and recently added an MP3 that tells you when to walk and when to run for Week 1 and 2 for the Couch to 5K plan from this site. Take a look and let me know what you think?! Thanks http://runningintoshape.com/5k-training-downloads/

Slow Poke

shelle44 — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:29:08 GMT

I started running last summer for the first time. I completed my first 5k in 4/09 with a time of 30:43. I was definitely glad to have finished without stopping and have since completed another 5k in about the same time. Now that I know I can finish I would like to improve my speed. I was dissapointed in my second race because after all the improvements I have made I ran an exactly 10 min/mile again. My question is I am running 4 times a week about 4 miles each time, my training pace is about 10min/mile. But how can I go faster??? I feel like I'm going as fast as I can with burning myself out. I wear a heart rate monitor and my heart is pumping at 170's when I'm doing a 10 min/mile. In my last 5k it reached 183 bpm. Can I go faster or am I at my maximum potential given my heart rate. WEll I guess you can say I'm consistent!!

I am looking for a Marathon Bib. I will be traveling back from Nicaragua from a Mission Trip and would like to do the Houston Marathon on my way home. I am working on 50 states. After Texas, all I will need is New Mexico and California for the Southern Border. I am willing to pay for a Bib.

Suffice it to say, I'm interested in running this marathon in 2009!! If anyone out there has registered and since decided to not run, I'd be very grateful to take your slot! I realize that the marathon does not reimburse the full cost of your slot, and I will happily make up the difference. Please contact me if you would like to transfer your slot! Thanks very much!!
