Married march 2018, two amazing children. Lost runner moho back in 2014. Trying to get back into it

Can I justify paying £44 for a half marathon 🤔 moneys always tight but I want to start and stick to it this year. Not at the half marathon distance but giving myself 5 months? #ukrunchat

I struggled but I enjoyed this a lot. Well by the end of it. Felt pretty OK most of the way except when another runner ran past me lol ##ukrunchat @UKRunChat I won't give up

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@RachelBuk @UKRunChat That's my issue is getting that consistency back. I appreciate all the sound advice. Certainly will take it on board

[José L Fas @joselfas]

I'm very motivated to want to start my running again, haven't been consistently running for a good few years (about 9/10 years ago did a lot). To get back to it, am I best to treat it as if I have never run before? Really want to do my local half next year #ukrunchat @UKRunChat

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@RachelBuk @UKRunChat The odd run here and there and I do walk 3 or 4 miles twice a week

[José L Fas @joselfas]

Well, I've ran in my time but one of the best views ever, ocean city aka plymouth. Definitely determined for the half marathon in may next year with views like this. I felt in control, struggled at times, but listened to my body. https://t.co/Nt55zxmXvc

@RachelBuk @UKRunChat I've got dad fitness I.e eating everybody's left overs haha. But appreciate the advise I've never really been a cross trainer so walking is probably the most I do but walking is still building up the legs and fitness at the end of the day

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@jamie_pragnell @UKRunChat This is very true. I'm going out for a run in a bit but I've told my head, it'll be a run/walk for this reason

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@AliaPike @UKRunChat This is very well put, appreciate the advise.

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@LightStrikePro @irongirl41 @UKRunChat Thank you, appreciate the comment and advice. I keep saying to myself go for a run, but been putting it off as I want to ease back into it.

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@irongirl41 @UKRunChat And tonight I did exactly this. Mile and half rather than 6 miles which used to be my easy runs. Also pace about 2/3 minutes slower than my previous pace. Felt good. Just need consistency

[José L Fas @joselfas]

So, planned to run home from work all the way but sensibly got bus and ran some of it. Slowly time to build up. #ukrunchat Check out my activity on Strava: https://t.co/OXdEPemQN0

@Claire_MCR @UKRunChat To hear others been in this situation makes me feel more relaxed. Thank you so much for the advice

[José L Fas @joselfas]

@PhiloSaurus101 @UKRunChat I absolutely love this post and approach. Thank you for the advice

[José L Fas @joselfas]

Need to find an app that will allow a challenge for most miles done between me and a few of my work friends (that's free) like the challenges on Strava but we've run out of free challenges. I've got a Garmin they've got Google, anyone know of any please? #ukrunchat @UKRunChat
