I am really enjoying reading your running ...Katie,<br /><br />I am really enjoying reading your running log as I have my own love/hate relationship with running over the years. I am also training for a half marathon for the first time in June and find your beginners plan very manageable. The key for me will be to stay consistent. I started my treadmill runs slower than you like 3.5 and thought I was gonna die the first few times but I haveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664482934028073445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-8012307339553824502018-01-23T20:36:26.135-05:002018-01-23T20:36:26.135-05:00I agree with the first commenter... your easy runs...I agree with the first commenter... your easy runs should be EASY. Even if you aren't going by heart rate, listen to your body. If it's unpleasant, it's too fast. <br /><br />Pushing hard through the easy runs will mean you won't see the results you are looking for.

I'm loving reading your running reports again. This is really helping me since I feel like I'm in the starting over phase right now too!

Great job in getting this week done--it will get easier and more rewarding every week, I'm sure! <br /><br />PS: For what it's worth, I skipped my run this morning because it was pouring rainThat Loud Redheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975412818556643713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-35920377526799838542018-01-22T05:45:33.356-05:002018-01-22T05:45:33.356-05:00I was thinking that the reason you might have had ...I was thinking that the reason you might have had more difficulty with the treadmill runs is that you're not starting out at the right pace for your current level of running fitness. You're just expecting too much from your poor ol' bod! It's supposedly an "easy" run according to your training plan but you're expecting yourself to be able to do a 10:55 pace easily Jessica Rikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473291972609591971noreply@blogger.com
