How I did it: I ran for distance once per week and for speed once per week for the last 3 months. That's when I ran my first 5k in 25:52. On speed days I did sprinting and jogging intervals, with no walking, for 20 minutes. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started running in February (from being completely out of shape), and did my first 5k in April. Since then I've ran twice per week, and lately I've been doing one distance run and one speed run each week. I was prepared to do this 8k, but I wish it had been a flat course. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I bought a bicycle and just went for it. Technically I only ride for about 1/3 of the way (5 miles in the morning, 11 in the evening) and take the bus the rest of the way. Taking the bike/bus combo is much faster than just going by bus like I used to. I've been doing this for just over a month now, and haven't missed a day yet. I even did fine in the rain, other than my shoes/socks getting soaked. I plan on buying booties for that soon. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Put my resume out on monster.com and craigslist.com, from there recruiters started calling me. I got an interview right away and got offered the job. I accepted it 2 days later after not receiving any better offers. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Like so many others, I followed the Couch to 5k program from coolrunning.com. I didn't want to run 3 days per week, so instead I did it based off of a 10 day week (that is, I ran 3 times every 10 days). If I couldn't complete the workout one day, I would try again the next. That only happened on week 4. Read how I did it…
