How long were you able to run as a brand new runner? Trying to gauge my average-ness haha

Question

Answer

I don’t know…. Is something chasing me?

Answer

When I started I would run from one telephone post to the other... Then walk to the next, then run to the next etc. So not really minutes in a row.

Answer

I run on the treadmill and it depends on speed and incline. I do a program on the treadmill or I run 3 minutes, walk one minute, etc.

Answer

The best way to start running is to do intervals of running and walking and slowly going longer stretches of running. 
5 min walk
3 min run
5 min walk
4 min run
5 min walk
Then 
4 min walk 
4 min run
4 min walk
5 min run
4 min walk
Something like that to build stamina!

Answer

The slower you run, the longer you can run. When I started running again, if I went a lot a good jog, I could do a mile. If I went at a medium jog, 2 miles. If I went at a real slow pace, 3+ miles. So, in minutes I’d say 8-30….my advice is to go slow and try to run longer. Then, each day, try to trim a little bit more off your time. You will see more results by going longer lengths than a short, quick run. I like to run at a medium pace now, for at least two miles, and the last stretch (1/4 or 1/2 mile) try to sprint. Going up hill or down hill will also have a large effect on how much you can tolerate and the difference you will see physically. I prefer a mixed run of up and down hill.

Answer

Not sure. I used the couch 2 5k app which uses intervals. I think it starts with 1 minute of running and gradually increases to the goal of running 30 minutes.

Answer

Learning to pace has been the most difficult for me. So at the beginning I'd only run what I could while pushing myself to try to keep moving. After some time I learned how to keep a better pace and finish while still running.

Answer

Hiii so I'm a new runner and i do want to give some tips I've figured out.... 
So as a new runner, don't run everyday. You're body is not used to it (especially if you're out of shape like me lol) and you risk injuries so early on. 
Also drink lots of water before your run. I drink 2 cups of water. I'm also eating 1200 everyday (i am trying to get fit for the navy) but on the days i run, i drink a smoothie before i leave for those extra calories and for some energy. 
And i absolutely did not know shin splints were a thing til i started running lol so icing them after a run works but what has worked best for me is stretches in that area (i looked some up on TikTok) 
Lastly, when i started (literally 2 weeks ago) i was running a mile at 20 mins. Then i went to 18 mins, then 17, and I'm currently at 16 minutes per mile. Because of my shin splints (honestly if it's hurts don't be afraid to take a day or two break, because if they get worse you can really hurt yourself and risk not running for a while at all) i actually slowed down in my running today and actually learned how to jog. 
I go on runs to a park near my neighborhood so i use likes trees or trashcans as checkpoints. So before i could barely run from this one sign to this trashcan, and now i try to push myself past that. Stuff like that yk
 
Also, i Know it's gonna be hard but TRUST ME when i say it works. Breath in your nose and out your mouth. I Know it's cold outside right now so i actually wear my mask so when i feel I'm breathing too much cold air or too much air at all, i just cover my nose fora few secs.
Anyways hope this helped. If anyone wants to intervene and give me some advice or something, that would be great too (:
