I RAN MY FIRST 5K!

Recently ran a 5k and it was an awesome experience. Next goal is a 10k! :)

If you are a complete beginner to running I don't recommend the plan I used. You'll need to give yourself more time to train. Link to the plan:

A lil tip from a non expert: run with intervals of sprinting. Say you're running a mile, spring every 30 or 45 seconds for like 10 seconds and then slow down. Never stop though. Even if you're running at the same speed as if you were walking. Don't stop. It's a mental game.

"Panicked penguin" 😂 This is why I've missed your videos!

I see a new Tazzy video, I click. That simple.

Tazzy! I am so proud of you! I can literally relate to everything your saying. I used to run 5ks like it was nothing but now even thinking about running makes my body tired. Its so hard to motivate yourself to run, its honestly just a mental battle. But I really want to get back into it so I'm going to start training for a half marathon! Watching you struggle and succeed really motivates me and I hope you accomplish everything you set your mind to 💞

I'm so stressed with school, so I love just watching this casual stuff and ignoring all my responsibilities.

[UbaidKhan-rspx]

You did awesome Tazzy, keep going and working hard. Love your singing voice btw. 😬

[wajeehaali]

You’re video just gave me motivation to do a 5k. I also agree that running does make you mentally strong💯❤️

[amale]

Omg tazzy, I missed your videos. It’s nice to hear your voice again!

[nadiaa]

I like running, but I'm too scared to do it in my neighborhood coz of dogs 🐶. So, to find a decent place that's big and good for running 🏃 is a little hard, hence excuses (I do Online school 🏫 BTW). So, I'm very proud of you for running a 5k and congrats! Can't wait for the 10k! ☺

You can do it Tasneem!! I did cross country (5K) in gr 12 (pushing mid 20s now), and seeing you run lowkey makes me miss it a bit

[fahadalvi]

Wow 😲 you one of the ☝️ best of the best Taz!!! GOD bless you you big time!!! Much love and respect ❤️ ✊

[umarfayo]

Lmao 😂 I’ve missed you so much inshallah everything is going well for you. In addition my two girls love you(14 and 16)

There's definitely something about running! I need to get back into it 😥

I'm no expert but these are some things that helped me.

Set a routine for running
Read up on running - improve your knowledge
Specifically how to run a marathon books (this will help you to know how to train, what to eat etc.)
Get running trainers for your feet will help with pain (I had really bad pain with my shins too, my trainers were too tight as in your normal size would be too tight as your feet swell when you run for long)
Don't go too fast too soon
Maintain a steady speed until you are more comfortable (I found this helped me to run for longer with no breaks)
Track calories (the only reason you might want to do this is so you know how much you are losing when you run and you can refuel so you don't feel too hungry)

wow i just got inspired to run around my block once a week :) thank u love u!

[MedicaLabTech]

This inspired me to do my first 5k this Thanksgiving! :) I'll use the same plan, thanks for sharing <3

[Kesounette]

You are the best, miss your video so much!!

[ohford]

Seriously this has inspired me to start running 😊

[Midnightlibrary]

Really huge accomplishment. I wanna do it too. I need to start running again!

[Riify]

Wow mashallah that amazing tazzy!! can you document some of your training for the 10K? Just diet and maybe workouts that your using to train? I'd love to see that. Love you!!

I only run on the elliptical. #TeamFatties 😋 My main issue is that I sweat profusely so dehydration is a real problem. But props to you and others who do these runs. I feel tired just thinking about you all running! 😆
