anyone ever run a 10k?

If so, can you provide me your tips and hints on successful training? Any particular brand of shoes you are partial to? Any issues you noticed while training? Did you up your calorie intake or lower it?

I've read a lot of websites but I want first hand experiences...

Re: anyone ever run a 10k?

  • I've ran a half-marathon once. I had a training guide to help me with training.  It was pretty much a book that gave some tips on running and included a daily training guide like how much to run/walk each day to build up to 13 miles. I can't remember the name of it.

    As for shoes, New Balance running shoes were the best. I noticed I lost a lot of weight from all the running, but my knees hurt more. Also, my toenails fell off. I had to increase my calorie intake b/c I was hungry all the time from the running.

  • Lisa alot of the girls on the OC nest board are runners and do marathons all the time.  Maybe ask over there?

    I would be interested too.  I would love to start running.  Don't know if I'd be able to do it though.  Although now that I've lost 30 lbs I want to keep going.

  • Jay! The marathon is in May and that gives you enough time to build up. I'm not sure if I'm going 10k or 5k. I'm playing it by ear. Likely the 5k and then maybe the 10k....

    A bunch of us are doing it, even LS, so if you want in...just give a holla:)
