"For those of you lot that run regularly, what keeps you going? I ran in the army as a young woman (hated it) but was so good I kept getting asked to represent in competitions. I’ve just started to ‘run’ (fling one foot in front of another for ten seconds then clutch a lamppost for three minutes) again at 57 and I don’t want to give up as I remember that awesome feeling of the ground moving under my feet and I don’t ever want to be old and unfit but what keeps you going?" That feeling of accomplishment!!! I remember the first time I ran 5 then 10k felt like I’d really achieved something | |||

"My conversation would be "call an ambulance"
Mine too. If I’m able to hold a conversation, I’d be walking, not running."Absolutely nothing wrong with a power walk, one of the best forms of exercise going. If you jog up to the point you feel you are getting out of breath, then walk until your heart rate comes back under control, then repeat, you will be amazed how quickly the run sections get longer and the walk sections get shorter. And the added bonus is that you'll probably enjoy it more, you'll be less likely to give up 'because it hurts', and you're less likely to get injured. | |||

I don’t have a car and walk everywhere, not a stroll, a fast, long stride, walk. I used to run for many miles as a teen in the army and I still don’t understand how or why this is possible. Surely the whole point of CV work is to raise you heart rate otherwise what’s the point? As soon as I jog, even if it’s barely faster than a walk, my muscles need more oxygen so therefor I need my heart to pump more and my lungs to take O2 to those muscles. If I can still chat, I’m simply not working anything. Please, could you explain the physiology to me because if chatting and running is possible, then I may as well give up all forms of exercise as it’s never going to happen for me. | |||

"Running at an easy pace improves the aerobic system which is the fundamental underpinning of running performance. It increases capillary development and allows more oxygen to get to the muscles and more waste to be cleared away. 80% of your running should be at an easy pace according to most coaches. A mile and a half in under 10 mins makes you a 20 minutes 5k runner or sub 7 minute miler. An easy run should be 75% or less so looking at over 8 minutes per mile. At that level you should be able to talk to someone. I can PM you a link to a couple of articles if you want to read more depth. It isn’t impossible but it does mean ignoring the watch and running based on how you feel. | |||

"Firstly, you're not allowed to give up, it's against the rules!
Secondly, running and chatting is absolutely possible, for me, you and everyone else reading this. Maybe not now, but if you stick with it, you will get fitter, it will get easier, and you will get there.
I know you might not believe it, and it might seem a distant and impossible goal, but you can achieve it.
10 years go I started running, I still vividly remember my first run, i managed barely 200 yards before i was literally doubled over gasping for breath. At the time, even running for 5 minutes seemed like an impossibility. Roll it on 10 years, and with a bit of stubbornness, determination and "fuck you" attitude towards everyone who said I couldn't do it, I ran 10 ultra marathons last year, ranging from 50k to 100 miles. Not suggesting you want to go that far! But it just illustrates that no goal is too far fetched if you apply yourself and really want it!
So this reply is already too long
, so if youre intetested in the science behind slow running and it's benefits, I can highly recommend philmaffetone.com i followed his training theory, specifically the 180 formula, and that transformed my running and my race times have improved dramatically since, despite doing virtually no speed sessions for a whole year.
Now did I tell you not to give up and stick with it x | |||

Holding a conversation is the correct pace for most runs.
How on earth can you regulate your breathing if you can chat whilst running? Even when I was doing a mile and a half in under ten minutes I couldn’t chat.
Running raises the heart rate and more oxygen is need to cover that. That means deeper, faster breathing, how is chatting possible?
To be fair a mile and half in under 10 mins is pretty rapid so no wonder you couldn't talk. That's a sub 25 min 5k!
Please remember that a lot of people here are very new to running and so need encouragement to keep going.
I've not run for 35 years!
And you just said that everyone should be able to talk through a run.
I didn't. I said I have snippets of conversation during a run. I think this is a discussion for another thread personally as it could derail the good work of the OP by people thinking they need to run 8 min miles from the outset.
"Evie, I realised I'd done an incorrect quote and apologised up above. Sorry! 35 years ago I was a fast teenager, today I'm a slow old woman who doesn't understand how it's remotely possible to chat and run, even at a pace just above a stiff walk and I'm trying to find out why. | |||

"I think the physiology is fascinating. For me though, at the moment, I’m building routine and confidence. I need to know that I CAN find the time to do it. I CAN face the world in Lycra. I CAN get my heart going fast and not panic or die. I CAN go further than I thought I could. I CAN go further than I could last week. I need to believe that exercise is possible for people like me. The crap runners. It’s always been for other people. So, when this has bedded it, I’ll hone my technique but, until then, I’m going to beam with pride because I’m only bloody doing it!!!!
"Fucking ace isn't it! | |||
"I did my week one run 3 yesterday but the last thread got too big and was closed. I found an app measured my distance just ran them both at the same time. For my 30 mins said I did 3.4 k is that any good? I'm off to salsa tonight will run tomorrow x
I think that's about what I'm doing for time and distance too. No idea if it's any good but as long as you're not doing the last few minutes on your hands and knees I reckon it's great
If you're a new runner, you should be aiming to run at a pace where you could maintain a conversation with a running partner. If you couldn't do that, you're running too quick! And running too quick too soon is a recipe for getting injured

"Not once have I ever stated that other runners should do the same, that’s the advice given to me and others by those in the know, all I’ve done is asked questions about me and what I’m trying to understand.

It wasn’t a suggestion, it was stated as a fact and now you’re telling me it’s a four pace recommendation and I’ve only ever managed two!

"Any body on here run for a club " Considered it, but in the end I decided that running for me is about having the freedom to run when I want, where I want, without the constraints of a club schedule. Also, running on my own rather than in a group gives me that "Me time", which can be hard to find at any other time. | |||

"Supposed to have started this Boxing day so I'm a bit behind schedule but I finally got a run/walk in tonight,about two miles,got a bit of a sweat on and I didn't hear anyone laughing at me,although I did have me earphones in
But youve started now. Thats half the battle I think thats the major battle,just getting the ball rolling,had my tights on tonight too
My battles getting out the door each time. Once im out im fine just the sofa keeps calling my name I know what you mean,just got to build my confidence up,thats why I run at night,a packet of ginger nuts were calling me back,but they didn't win Ha.
Youll get there, noone can be great at something theyve yet to practice. It will get easier" | |||
