    A friend in Sydney who started running for two months now is really enjoying it. His even more motivated to go out for more runs while listening to music sets.

    Somehow he got me running in Melbourne for 3.5km today, after never doing any exercise for the past 15 years.

    He's using Nike Run Club and I joined up. We both live in two different states so it's hard to keep in touch all the time.
    Hopefully, we can motivate and encourage each other to push our limits in running and keep a friendship more connected.

    To be honest, it was a great run, and really enjoyed it, even if I left half a lung behind and pulled a calf muscle. Having people around you to motivate you in doing things outside your comfort zone is rewarding. Even if it's just for a run.

    :D

    • I gave running a try last winter, enjoyed it until my body started falling apartdrgs
    • nothing like a run of fast cycle to get the hear pumping and blood flowing fast throw to all the veins.shapesalad
    • I like running without music, sometime it's good not to track effort either, just run and enjoy. Most of the time I'm a proper Strava slag though :)mrAtor
    • I started running for the first time last Summer, ran only 22 times for a total of 50KM, I enjoyed it.Bennn
    • I didnt run during Winter, I just restarted recently... I ran 25KM in 12 times yet. I only run between 1.65 and 3.5KM ... cant do more than that :PBennn
    • i enjoy running... clears the mind. if you want to start the hardest part is the first 2 weeks of running. your body and mind will do everything it can tojonny_quest_lives
    • convince you you are near death and that running isn't for you. if you make it past those first 2 weeks most people are able to settle into a decent run programjonny_quest_lives

    • Good Article @dgs, might get back into HIIT training too!

      @jonny I will get back to you in two weeks :D Hopefully I can push through the burn.      Sellies

    • No need to push through the burn, follow a beginner run/walk program.
      It's a sure way to clearly see the progress and enjoy yourself. 5k in 6 weeks.      palimpsest
