26F from Australia My main goal is just consistency! Doing 5km 3 times EVERY week to stay in shape would be my goal. I am still getting there but I’ve started with no running experience at all. Looking for other people who are also just starting out and aiming for consistency so we can support each other.

u/andicus5000 Aug 01 '23
Hello! 37m in Colorado. I primarily focus on swimming (average roughly 15,000 yards per week), with some cycling and running on occasion. I’ve found that I’m really motivated by Kudos, but that many of my mutual friends don’t understand swimming so they don’t often give my workouts a lot of Kudos.
I’d love to find some other swimmers on Strava for mutual motivation! If you follow, I will follow back and you can rest assured I’ll give you Kudos!

Mexican 30M, Internal Medicine and MS in sports and exercise, at my best I did a 5k in 15 minutes, now I only run for health, I follow a structured routine that allows me to run an annual marathon. I switched to strava after nike blocked the ability to export their workouts and I'm looking for friends to make strava more interesting.

u/LunyoBhagwan Aug 03 '23
Hello everyone. 🙏
Fairly new runner here, but I enjoy it very much, hence I usually run twice a day for at least an hour. Last week I peaked at 201k (125 miles). On average I've been running about 150k since April. I don't share publicly all of my activities, but I do share weekly and monthly summaries.
Would like to find more runners and nice people in general to exchange comments, kudos, and support each other.

Hi friends! 33F in Western Michigan here. I’m a newer runner, though I joke that I’m not a runner, my dog is and I’m just holding the leash. After adopting her, we went from walking to intermittent running and then eventually signed up for a virtual 5K. Now I’m working on being more consistent with running, both with and without the pup. Would love to find some other runners/walkers to follow to stay motivated (especially come the never-ending Michigan winter)! If you follow, I will follow back, and I have lots of kudos and cute dog pics to share.
Also if you know of any great dog-related or women’s clubs to join, feel free to let me know!

Hi 41M Cincinnati. Trying to get first into shape then perhaps age group competitive in 5k+ with eventual marathon at some point. Just started back up a few weeks ago after a brief stint 4 years ago before an injury derailed. Used to run an obscene amount when I was half this age.

It's called Sex Panther® by Odeon©.
It's illegal in 9 countries.
It's also made with bits of real panthers, so you know it's good.
