getting a proper running programme soon.
and then once i get it im banning from running on the treadmill!!! i found my last run in a park was much more enjoyable actually.... tougher but still very enjoyable.
all my runs coming up are on road apart from the race for life so on road should feel a bit better.
not a fast runner at all, but dont mind as long as i run as much as i can without the need to walk!
im not wearing my running trainers until i start running outdoors either, i used to wear them for the gym too but i dont want to burn them out before these big runs.

Well I did the 10K race for life this morning in 1h 3:40 and was really pleased with this. I got my pacing right - did first 5k in 32.45 and then able to speed up quite comfortably. Atmosphere was amazing - never seen so much pink in all my life!! But well worth it. I actually feel like I'm a runner now and have a medal to prove it. Next challenges are to get under the hour for 10k and train for norwich half in November.

Well I did the Silverstone half in 3 hours. Hopefully I'll do Bristol in 2:30 but it will depend how warm it is.lurverick said:

Haven't signed up for another 10k yet, but will do another before November - there's usually one down in Thetford in September - unless there's one earlier. I want to get under the hour in the next one, so will need to train with that in mind
I am due to run 10 miles today. I would like to run it in 2 hours 25 min! However, if i get a faster time, I will be chuffed!xx
