How to run 2 miles without stopping
It made me
feel really good
 "My daugher and I ran the 2 mile kids' Marafun run in the Portland Marathon."
How I did it: I started the Couch To 5K interval program (20 minutes, of alternate running and walking) back in March, using Podrunner's mp3 mixes to get me going. At first, it was really painful to run for 1 minute at a time. I couldn't believe that after a week, I was supposed to be able to run for 90 seconds! But I trusted the program, and sure enough, when they said I should be able to run for 2 minutes, I was able to. Amazing! Lessons & tips: Don't give up. Trust yourself and your body. Listen to your pain. Be careful. Resources: podrunner.com - Podrunner intervals

It made me
Tired! 
How I did it: I hadn't done any kind of stamina-building exercise in about a year, so I decided that the college's charity fun run was the perfect opportunity to prove to myself that I still had the capacity to run fairly long distances. I completed the run in 16 minutes and 57 seconds, and it really tired me out. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I have always hated to run. When I was a kid, my parents actually exempted me from the 1 mile run that we were supposed to do on the grounds that I had allergies, even though there is really no reason I couldn't have run a mile. I just didn't feel good at gym class, was constantly mocked, and didn't believe that I was capable of running a mile. But I saw this goal on 43 things and it seemed like something I could do beca… Read how I did it…

I’ve been running since April (The conditioning coach for Tennis made us run 2 miles…with a 15 minute break in between though). I feel a lot more fit because of it, but I want to do 2 miles.
I’ve been going to the HS track at 7 every night to run, and so far I can only do 1 1/4 miles without stopping. I just look so forward to finishing that next lap that I have to stop. It’s hard to keep on going when you start breathing really heavily and your heart is pounding.
I’m in shape, but I don’t have the greatest endurance. Hopefully I’ll achieve this one before the end of summer

I’m on a AAA ice hockey team and we do workouts after each session( practice/game). Well, today our coach said we were going to run 2 miles. You could see everyones face in disgust as he said it. Even though I am quite athletic, I still had trouble accomplishing this. I completed the 2 miles in 14:47! Even though I was bending over gasping for a breath, it was all worth it. :)
my 2 mile hist so far...

I am 13 and am about half way through y9. when i started high school in y7 my pe an games teachers made us do a 2 mile rune every tuesday in the lesson for 5 weeks every year during winter (i am still confused as to why) and another 5 in summer (more reasonable). my forst time was about 45 mins because i really couldnt see the point. in y8 i was getting about half an hour to 40 mins but i still was not trying really hard. about half way through y8 me and one of my mates decided to try our best and see what we could get, my first time was about 23 mins but i hadn’t got the pace right yet, i kept on improving little by little and now i am getting just over 15 mins, i have another cross country tomorrow and i am aiming for under 15 mins this time! :P

I just joined the Nordic team, and we did it today for our first run.
So, yes. I feel great, and soon, I’ll probably be doing four miles in a few weeks.
Yay!

I promised my 8yo daughter

It’s set—I registered myself and my daughter for a 2 mile kid’s fun run in October. That’s what, 4 weeks from now?
I’ve been doing the Couch to 5K program off and on for the last few months. I’ve gotten sick, and had to stop, and then it’s hard picking back up, so I had to redo some weeks. And so a couple of days ago I took a big breath and downloaded week 5 from podrunner.com so I can begin in earnest once again.
I want to get back into shape, and I want to lose weight. I also want to encourage my daughter, and she needs someone to go with her because I’m just not comfortable letting her run alone in a busy race. So that means I need to be able to keep up with her.
Again!

I ran 2.8 miles with just walking for one block in the middle because my legs felt crampy. It took me just over 21 minutes to run the first 2.2 miles which was when I started walking. Who knew that I could cover a mile in about 10 minutes?
I did it!

I can’t say that I had fun all the way (outdoor running in New Orleans heat doesn’t help) but I didn’t even stop to walk although my crampy calves weren’t necessarily happy with that choice.
I did the 2 miles in a little over 20 minutes. My goal for next time will be to shave off 30 seconds and finish under 19:30. It’s a good goal to keep me running. And I plan to – once this gets comfortable I may move on to a 5K.
