[quote=Nicodemus]Seems like the basics have been covered pretty well by the other posters.

As has been stated.....no need to be intimidated or think you will be 'that' person in the running group. Most running groups I have tried are very mellow and try to keep things chill for all involved so there is little to no pressure to run at a specific pace. Let them know what distance your good at and they usually adjust things to fit. If there are people going longer they will split the group for those going long versus short.

For me treadmill running is okay but it does get boring. Full disclosure though I take a sick sense of accomplishment from running in the rain, snow, heat...... so theres that. One benefit for me on the treadmill thought was it helped me up my speed. I thin it has to do with the treadmill being one continuous speed. When I was training for a half mixing in some treadmill work dropped my average times from 9:35 to about 8:10. Right now I am back to about a 9:20 but that is a mix of pavement and trails so take that with a grain of salt.

End of the day.....take your time, ease into running outdoors.

Someone mentioned apps. I have given most of them a try.....if your an app person......present app of choice is the Nike+ app. Love it!! MapMyRun is great. Will probably being giving the Puma app a whirl soon just to see if they worked out the bugs from version one.
