I used to a fair bit (Allen) before our little one arrived. 35 marathons between 2012 and 2022.

Advice would be stick to your own targets, not everybody else’s. It is one of the only sports where you compete against yourself and even if you’re not very good (like me!) it’s a great form of relaxation and therapy.

dont do it ...Walk

Walking proven to be much better , less / zero impact on joints etc

hips and knees and joints werent designed to take a pounding.

Good footwear

Warm up/cool down

Do HIIT

Do some gym work eg core

Depending on how far you run; try to do negative splits

Look after your feet. Change your shoes more often than you think you need to.

You don’t need to be fast to be a runner.

Pop some tunes on a playlist to pound away to. Because you’ll get to the end of the road and unless Eye of the Tiger starts playing you’ll think “fuck this!” and turn around and power walk back home.

I cycle rather than run but the hardest part about running is getting out the door

So tell yourself you’ll go out for five minutes, if you want to home you can, if you feel like you can do more tell yourself you’ll go for another five minutes and so forth

Fitness is a marathon and not a sprint, I’m more than happy to offer advice/opinions/help

Well done OP for making the step to start

Cycling for me, leg gains and cardio

Win win

Swimming is great for the back though!
