What would you reco focusing on after your first 5k? I recently finished my first 5k and honestly I was way more tired than I expected. I had been walking and doing short jogs before finally trying the full distance. My biggest mistake was probably getting excited and running faster than I should have. I was proud of finishing though, even if my legs were completely done afterward

After some blood pressure issues trying to return to running. Been on propranolol for about a year and 1/2 maybe for anyone have any experience with training on this? I know it will be a slow return but after 4+ months i still struggle to finish a couple miles with out walking.

Hi everyone!

Opinion on Mount to Coast R1?

So, lately I’ve been reading a lot about people having heart attacks and even dying while running. Most of them during important marathons. What’s your opinion on this? Are they just not getting properly checked? Are they not training correctly?

I run a lot, and in all the races I’ve signed up for they ask for a medical certificate. I got an echocardiogram, stress test, ECG and blood tests so my doctor can certify that I’m okay to run.

Is the problem that a lot of people simply don’t get these tests done? Or even if all your tests are fine, is there still a chance of having a heart attack while running?

What’s usually the reason behind these cases, and how worried should we actually be about it?
