Anyone doing the sun run this year? Kinda got pushed into it so and I haven't really ran a 10k before so I do not know what to expect. Any tips for first time runners? ( Most likely I going to walk the majority of it :( )

Hey I'm doing it as well. My best time is just under 45 mintues.
One advice I can give is do some light warmup and then stretch before the run. You can jog at your own pace. Try to enjoy it while you're there. =D

what do you recommend for pre-run/stretch warm ups?

i tore my Achilles with improper stretching and warm up 2 months ago.

As much as i never intend to run the sunrun...

...the beauitiful thing about the sunrun is that it gets people out there and train. For a lot of people, thats a huge sense of accomplishment, and it should feel like that!

Running isn't easy, i don't care what anyone says. Its also boring, and redundant. But the sun run gets people that can hardly run for 10 minutes and all of a sudden they accomplish 10km.

I'm thinking that next year i am gonna run the sun run....in bare feet.

Wtf I did it in 1 hour 32. I walked half of it and didn't run since last year's run

One of my life goals is to break the 1hr mark for 10km

first time running anything ever. was 305-310lbs last February and now 230lbs, wish I could of trained for this thing, but personal reasons didn't let me do so. So really hockey was my only training haha.

1hour and 9mins

had a pee break near the beginning and ran into the Chevron on Georgia, lost 5 minutes there, and then someone got TKO'd at the finish line which stalled me and everyone around me for another 5-10 minutes.

next year I am gonna be under 1 hour mark!

oh probably ran a good 10km straight and 1km sideways dodging people.

Want to. Did it last year, first time in a long time. 55 mins, it wasn't too bad I guess since it'd been a while.
