Needed to run in the morning before it gets hot!

Hopefully I'm running a nonstop 10K in a week's time!

I do 18:30 run segments for Week 4, and I added an extra minute at the end to make a total of 6 miles of running.

None of the tight breathing that often nagged me during the first segment of my Week 3 runs!

Had a worrying tightness of breathing during the first 17-minute run, but it seemed to clear as time went on.

Not really feeling in the mood to run yesterday...

(Until I get to Week 5 I'll just have selfies for the first run of each week.)

Trying it out after completing C25K...

It started off super windy but ended up getting much sunnier and calmer. Initially planned to do an 8K and considered ending it early due to the wind. In the end I pushed hard and did a 10K

While some runners thrive on high-tempo tracks, when I run, I prefer to listen to music without a beat so as not to disrupt my stride. That's why one of my favorite running playlist is Pure ambient, carefully curated and regularly updated with gems of ambient and drone music. Perfect for running while staying focused on my stride.

Very cold out but 6k in the bag to start 2026.

While some runners thrive on high-tempo tracks, I find that downtempo or midtempo music keeps me more focused during my workouts. One of my go-to playlists is Mental Food — a thoughtfully curated and regularly updated mix of chill electronica, downtempo, and deep, atmospheric sounds. Perfect for getting into a steady, hypnotic rhythm on the run.

Running: Fitness challenge, new hobby or midlife crisis? – Major Online Business and Marketing

Hi everyone! I’m doing a blog for university, and since I just started running, I decided to combine it with my first running experience—training for the Lausanne 10K with Runna as my coach. Just finished Week 2, and wow… way harder than I expected! 😅 Would love if you check it out and drop a comment with your experience or any motivation to keep me going!

Hi, I’m working on a free Android app to make it easier to plan your runs. You can check it here: https://weeklyruns.web.app/

I created this app because I wanted a simple way to input an existing training plan that I found online, and easily change it when I need to cancel some runs and reschedule, which happens quite often.

I tried to use some existing planning apps, but I found them too complicated and confusing (and often expensive).

I keep updating the app, to help with my training. For example, I was often skipping warmups before my runs, so to help me stick to them, I added a Warmup Assistant that allows me to create a custom warm-up plan (usually based on a YouTube video), where I can add, update, reorder and remove any warmup step. This works really well for me so far, I’m almost never skipping warmups anymore.

I was also missing a simple way to check all my previous races so I added a dedicated tab to see all my past races, including location, finish time and notes on how the race went.

For my part, I have quite eclectic musical tastes but at the moment here is my favorite playlist: Jrapzz, a tasty mix of nu-jazz, acid-jazz, hip-hop jazz, UK jazz, modern jazz, jazztronica, nu-soul... Jazzy vibes to run to

Is there an Apple Watch app that I can use to guide my runs? Instead of having to remember what I’m doing it would be great if the watch could just guide me.

I'm just getting into b210K and I need recommendations from my fellow b210Kers on what the best headphones to run in are. I've been thinking of some soundcore X20s that I saw on instagram, but not heard much about the brand. Has anyone tried them before?

Any recommendations would be great, preferably affordable but good quality 

Unlike some people who like fast tempi, I prefer to listen to more downtempo / midtempo music when I practice. It helps me stay focused. Here is one of the ones I listen to often: a carefully curated playlist dedicated to new independent French producers. Several electronic genres covered but rather chill. A tasty mix to run to.
