Get yourself signed up for parkrun... Though it isn't officially a race it is a great place to regularly test yourself.

If you want to find races go to the athletics ni website and they have a page with all the upcoming events throughout the year.

Anyone aiming for the marathon next year?

I been doing that for a while but I have been looking at some of the more official 5k and 8k ones, there are a few I’m looking at before Christmas. i nearly had a go at walking a half marathon but the old plantar fasciitis kicked in

It you have an interest in running I'd recommend the strava app. You can sync all your runs there using a fitness tracker, smart watch or phone... Great way to track your progress as you become a more experienced runner. You can also find plenty of local, national and international running communities to join, you'll also find plenty of runs and races on there to take part in, plenty are virtual so you run them by yourself and upload your time. Loads of benefits to using that app.

Check out popup races too they have and app and post regular race meets on social media.

Currently training for my first half marathon in Belfast in September, not sure what I’m expecting time wise but usually run 5k in about 26 min and 10k in about 55

If you're new to running explore the chance to improve super quickly at the start... It'll eventually slow down! But my big advice is always to keep it nice and easy at the start... Still much better than the people sitting on the sofa at home!

Do you have to pay for the strata app. I use a basic garmin watch, which records some interesting info

It is free for most things and for everything else you should be able to get the data in your Garmin connect app

No it's free to use, I'm sure there's a premium version but no need to pay for it.

Brilliant, I participate in alot of marathons around Europe.

A few tips..start by setting your distance and a heartbeat..

Stick to this until you are doing the same distance but at a lower rate.

If forearms are sweating you are running hard

If you get a stich hold your arms above your head

Have 2pairs of training shoes and swap after each run

And finally enjoy your running and don't over do it
