87sheerips Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Started jogging again and man it feels good... Use to jog 3-4 times a week 3 miles but it has been a few years. I just started back up a couple weeks ago... doing 2.5 mile clips @ about 9:10-9:30/mile pace. Is that decent for a 32 year old? Just curious what is the norm. I am not in shape by any means but I feel like I am keeping a decent pace. Any advice appreciated. Its a huge stress reliever getting out there and jamming some metal sweating it out.

Bennett131 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 That's on par for a decent jog I'd say. I don't think I could make it a half mile, but I used to be able to. Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 That's a good pace. I track my runs on my phone let me see if I can find my best and worst Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 They say it's not really about the distance but about the time. So set your time frame. Do an hour a day or every few days. As of right now this is my best 1 hour run So my next 1 hour straight run I'm hoping to make 6 miles. But for a casual run I'll get between 5-5.5 in that hour. I try to make it between 45 min to an hour a day. But 6 miles in 1 hour is a fairly achievable goal with easy training. But all in all, go by time. Not distance. Because what's really a 15 minute work out? Not much can be achieved in that time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote
87sheerips Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Posted December 24, 2015 Right on. Here was my run from yesterday. I'm ready to get into a bigger loop. Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Yeah. You can see that the day before I did alot further. I did 8.7 that day. But that was 2 separate runs to prep for my 1 hour hard run But keep it up. The hardest part is staying consistent and keeping it going. Quote
87sheerips Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Posted December 24, 2015 Yea for sure. A few years ago I got to a point where I ran 9 miles once. Fuck that. 3-4 mile workouts are all I am into really. Mountain biking is really the best cardio workout but season is over for that. Quote

87sheerips Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Posted December 30, 2015 25 min on treadmill this morning then this after work... Major chaffing with new pants slowed me down. Ouch. Quote
vrx46 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Every time you run try to go a little farther. Keep a steady pace, 9 min mile ain't bad. Running is all in your head. Overcome the mental barrier with running and you could do a miles on miles guaranteed. That's cool you run with your Dobey, it's fun with them! I used to have 2 and would take them out with me. People would see me coming with them and would cross to the other side of the street hahaha 1 Quote

The dobey keeps me under 9min/mile lol. Quote
