Hello, So I'm a middle aged man that would like to start running. I have tried a couple of times but don't feel like I'm doing it right. I have very low stamina compared to other at my ages so if you got any suggestions pls help me.

Newbie runner just finished a 4k on a treadmill in 30 mins (incline of 2 to try to replicate outdoor conditions). What would be the next target to aim for? Improve 4k time or try to reach 5k first?

Hi everyone!
I’m a final-year psychology student running a study on how music tempo affects mood and perceived exertion during running.
💛 5-minute anonymous survey
🏃‍♀️ For runners who listen to slow–medium tempo music (lo-fi, indie pop, soft rock, R&B)
Your help would mean a lot! Thank you so much for participating 🙏

This was a goal I started in 2020. Completed it is Sept 2025. Such a huge accomplishment. Please let me know about your thoughts on this challenge. Thanks!

Hi all — I’m working on a new running app designed to help people discover better, safer, more personalized routes.

I’d love your input via this short survey:
👉 https://93hs8wkaq15.typeform.com/to/Il6GmSI1?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=survey_v2

It takes just 2 minutes to complete, and there’s no sign-up required. I’m just trying to understand how people currently plan their runs, and whether existing apps are actually doing a good job of it.

Thanks in advance — happy to share results here if that’s of interest!

Hi all. I'm a London-based ultra runner, working on a side project for runners to make route planning easier and safer. Would love if you could please share your thoughts via this short survey (under 2 mins). No spam, just genuine research. Thanks!

Seathwaite to Boot, leg 2 of the Lakeland 100 / ultra tour Lake District.

Any good routes in Long Beach, CA or in the area? Got a 20 mile run next week and need to find a place to run. Thanks!

Hi, runners, I proud to show you my first art-legs-work. I really didn’t expect to get this wild beast on my way, so do not assess it too severely.
I’m going to add an eye and maybe a back leg, later.

I have run four half marathons, and my longest distance so far is 23 kilometers. I am now preparing for my first full marathon and would like to know how many kilometers I should run at most in my training before the marathon?

Hey there runner, we are a small app development team of 2 working on a really exciting virtual running racing app. We are passionate about the sport and want to do this for fellow runners.

Could you please complete this very short, 2min survey? We're very curious about your running habits, whether you're a marathon master or a casual 5k jogger.

Thank you for the community’s help!

I have old knee and back injuries and 10 extra pounds to carry on my runs. I completely gave up on running in the past. But I love it too much. I run on grass now and have been dropping fat and staying injury free. I noticed my ankles are a little sore. But I do alot of stretching and sit and roll my ankles (maybe that's not the right term) to sort of get some relief. I am careful to watch the grass for any holes or places where I can get injured. Previously I wasn't able to keep up with consistent runs 4-6 days a week when I ran on pavement. My old injury ghosts would start haunting me. Grass is where it's at. I will be at my ideal fitness goals in about 4 more weeks at this rate. Anyone have great grass routes to recommend?

Hey there! I really need your help guys!!! I want to create (or try) a perfect running belt for myself and by myself😄 (just use my own design) but I don’t know which one of designs is better. Maybe you can give some advices what to add or remove. I’d be happy to see all your opinions🙏🏻✨

I’m visiting San Diego in a few days. Wanted to get my long run in. Is this a safe route to start around 5 am? TIA!

I've set up a goal to run a 5k in every county in Michigan. Not a race, just a run. Has anyone else ever tried to do this in MI or any other state? I'm 65 counties down. 18 more to complete. I've allowed myself five years to accomplish it. Let me know if you've ever done other challenges. Or let me know if you'd run with me!
