Gonna keep an eye on this thread too. Really want to improve my running so need all the tips I can get

One of the things that really annoys me when I see people running is they either run on their toes or heels.. Use all the foot, smooth long strides, keep chest expanded and use your god damn arms too

I run like an elephant.

With your trunk swinging in front of you???

Lots of handy tips, thanks guys. Think you know where I'm coming from now. I think I'll have a try at running slower and see if it gets me anywhere. My goal is maintaining a pace for a certain amount of time, rather than a certain speed or distance. My boss has suggested that we go jogging one night per week after work. She's not a seasoned jogger, but she does it for an hour or so, so I'd be interested in what sort of pace she does. Might help me.

Despite dancing most of my life, I am incredibly heavy footed and don't think I am built for running at all.

There are so many reasons why the name Pheebs is suitable for me.

---->This <--- is one of them.

It's a spitting image of me running. Though include falling over lots in that too.

Hehe, I'm sure you don't look that funny Pheebs!! And even if you do... who cares??

My first after work jogging session will commence tomorrow. Going to take it easy and see how I do with a 5km jog first.

OK, I hit the treadmill at the gym tonight. Now I've always been a bit crap at running. My heart and lungs can take it but my legs always seemed to seize up way too early, usually around 1 mile (pathetic isn't it). Well tonight I did 3km at a steady 7km/h and didn't stop once. That's just short of 2 miles and my legs were fine. Next time I'm going to crack on to 5km and I should be fine for that too. Then I can work on improving my speed a little. So, overall, I'm pretty chuffed with tonight

Sounds like you've got it spot on.
