Hi everyone!
My husband introduced me to this site and I am very interested in it. Since Sep 11th, we haven't had any organized PT and not much time to do it on our own. I have gained about 30lbs.... and my goal is to get that off. I also would like to improve my run. Does anyone have suggestions for the run piece? Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to ft! Why not sign up for an ft program and choose to target your legs? This should help improve your running.
Good luck!

The best way to get better at running is running and doing any cardio to get your heart rate up. Good luck.

Welcome here.
The best way to start running is to do it on interval. Start with 7 min fast walk, then run for two mins, fast walk again for 3 mins, run for 3 etc
You'll slowly build up your heart capacity and be able to run for longer.
I'll strongly advice you to join a FT exercise program as well.
Good luck.

I've found that the best way to improve run time is simply to run. When i first joined up last summer (wow it seems like its been longer) my 2 mile run time went from 15 min to 13.30 simply by running a mile or so every other day, in addition to 4 and 5 mile runs every week. now i'm running in 1330 and under, and am close to scoring extended scale. working legs helps, but do high rep, low weight work, because you're trying to increase the strength of slow twitch muscle, not fast twitch muscle.
Good luck
