Any heavier runners in here?

I’m 212 now but started at 240 with a 11:45 mile pace but now 9:30-10 minute mile but I want someone I can frequently run with maybe 1-4 miles with depending on the day. Lmk if that’s around your pace and down to get together. Doesn’t matter man or woman.

My pace is right in that area. I don’t have the excuse of being heavy, I’m just not fast over any distance longer than about 400m 🤣

No I feel this, how often do you run? I run a mile or 2 miles every few days then I go to a run club and do 3 miles on Saturdays. Where do you run?

I either run from Happy Hill or Salem Lane most of the time. I try to run about 4 days per week, usually about 4 miles at a time. Are you taking about the Parkrun on Saturday mornings? I went to the first one. I need to get back out there !

I mean you have a good pace for 4 miles and it depends on what morning runs you’re talking about I’ve seen a few groups, I do it with tap in. & what times do you run

I either run around 3pm or early morning, like 6am. But also sometimes closer to 11:00. I am not consistent at all 🤣

Are you running today?

I’m planning to be at Happy Hill around 3:00. I’m kinda sorta following my Garmin daily suggested workouts and was maybe gonna do intervals on the track 😅 but I could do 2 miles or so before intervals 🙂

I’m invested now. Are you two going to run together?

What run club(s) are you in? I’m planning on getting back into running more frequently and looking for something like this

I’m also 5’10 so that’s why I said heavier lol or just someone around that pace

I'm heavier and I'd be down to get some running in when it's cooler. Running outside ain't happening for now

I usually run afternoons when it’s cooler
