Q2: Also I listed to a podcast episode by Coach Bennett called 7 Ways To Make Your Running More Fun, and I loved the ideas suggested! #runchat

Q2: Currently I’m training for a half-marathon in October so my routine is whatever the Nike Run app tells me to do!
lol In regular times, I try to get a run in 2-3 times a week depending on mood. I just remind myself how much better i feel afterwards! #runchat

Hi all! Q1: Short distance started for me in grade 6! Long distance since 2006…so 19 years 🙈 on & off #runchat

sundays are infinitely worse than mondays 😤

I’m fitting in my runs with ease! I’ve been using the Nike Run Club App for my half-marathon training and its structure really works for me! #runchat

A3: All of my race entries! I’ve never regretted a single one and they’ve always motivated me to keep training so solid purchases! #runchat

A2: I can’t think of anything that’s been too bad. I did buy one of those Nathan hand-held water bottles with a pouch. Too much of a hassle and I never use it. #runchat

I have a pair of those and I can’t run in them at all! They worked great though for walking the dog on icy roads. #runchat

Oooh a new Garmin is on my list! Mine is roughly 10 years old and it’s amazing but I’d love some more updated features. #runchat

A1: Little late joining tonight! I’m going to need a new pair of Hoka Mach 6’s! These ones will get me through most of my half-marathon training this summer but not much further. #runchat

Join in a mini #RunChat with 3 questions at 8 p.m. ET!

Hey #runchat @therunchat.com fam…what running vests is everyone wearing and from where did you purchase them? I need one that’s lightweight & with water containers. Realizing I need it in this heat for longer distance training. #running #runners

Hahaha I’d be miserable but I’m sure people would say the same about our snow and freezing temps.

Ran my first 10k of the season today! I took the winter off due to the incredible amount of snow and started retraining in April. Planning on a half in October. #runchat

Rain! I just won’t. I’ve run in +40 and -40 but I will not do rain. Rain gives me a curl up inside and have a slow day vibe. #runchat

I will take your bananas lol they are the only thing I eat! We had chocolate chip cookies available after today’s race and I still chose the banana! Funny..I don’t eat them elsewhere lol #runchat

Ohh it’s the one I got for my half marathon in the Rockies! It was a plain round off-white disc that looked like chalk. Disappointing considering how much effort went into the whole thing. A mountain or something etched into it would’ve made a world of difference! #runchat

If it’s not a banana, I don’t want it! lol #runchat

I haven’t done one and I don’t think I’d enjoy it either! haha I’ve done a half and I’m doing another half this fall but I get bored and the training for that kind of distance takes over my life! Totally get it. #runchat

5k! It’s too short for me to get comfortable and set my pace so I end up wanting to sprint it and I walk away frustrated and tired lol I’d much rather do 10k+ when it comes to races. #runchat

Heck even race days on early mornings are a struggle! Lol 😆 #runchat

This may be controversial but I loathe mornings! I know they are necessary for cooler weather and longer distances, but anything before 9am is a struggle and sets me up for a day of exhaustion. Rather an afternoon or evening run! #runchat

None that are legal anyway lol

Wanting to run more! The weather is starting to get really nice and the more I run, the more I want to keep running. Training for a half-marathon in the fall, but really just want to run for the fun of it! #runchat

Daily run?

It was a very harsh and long winter here but I managed to keep moving and I ran 8k yesterday so overall I’d give myself a B. #runchat

Running 2 10ks and 1 5k race…while managing one of the busiest months of work! #runchat

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.

Just 3…quick one tonight but so worth it!

Definitely going flat! I signed up for my second this fall and it’s not running up the Rockies. lol Training will be significantly stronger even if it’s a flat course.
