New kids on the block

Hi, I finally encourage myself to install the app on my phone after looking at the reviews and will be starting running today. The community seems to be supportive too and I think this is a great medium to share my experience and thoughts of my running journey. I hope everyone finds a motivation to run today! :)

Been out and bought some fish and ran with it home - not to be recommended, but you sure get fired up on this running malarkey!

Well done - check out the FAQ posts before you start, just so you know how to tackle the plan. Congrats on joining the best running club in the world, I hope you have fun and successful running.

Thanks! I’m happy that I finally start it after a very long time. What shoes would you recommend?

This link has all the info you need. The only thing to add is that I discovered that there is a difference between a road shoe and a trail shoe. I now have both.
