Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc..

For me, have decided to do my first race. A 10km option in the local marathon. It's in October so heaps of time to prep. I'm currently consistently getting out with the doggo three times a week doing about 5-6km each time. Did a 7km run this morning with him. Might look at one of those Garmin training programs to get up to 10km. Anyone tried that with success?

I haven't tried any training programs, but if you're already doing that much running and starting to extend some of your runs towards that 10k goal then I'd say your preparation is going very well already.

Yes i did that last year for my 1st 10k. Its good, i think you can only go 12 weeks ahead? And if you adjust race day planned runs can get a bit wonky / out of wack. I would say use it as a guide for a bit to get a feel for it.
