"Took down a 10k race. (my first at this distance) My last proper race was ten year ago and was a short 3k. I did very well in that and got a good time.

"Took a week out after my 10k but did start to feel guilty so went out on Monday and did a little 4 k... Right I have a question regards a training programme. .. The half marathon I've booked on is in October. I've also got a couple of 10k races between now and then.. The running plan is a 12 week plan tho I still have around 22 weeks. What I'm planning on doing is taking my running all the way up to almost full distance at around 13 weeks out.. then dropping ithe right back down to a couple of miles and rebuilding.. I'm going this do this on a run 3 times per week.. Would any body advise me to do it this way or is there another way.. Thanks for any advice" There’s lots of ways to do this, and I’m sure other coaches will chip in later. My preferred way to do this is to build up your longer run (for stamina at a perceived effort level of 2/5) at the weekend slowly over the whole period...and there’s no problem in actually going over distance with a half (so up to a max of 15 miles if you are comfortable). The other two sessions in the week should be spaced out, with one concentrating on speed-stamina (longer intervals of 1-2K times 3 at a perceived effort level of 3/5), and the other being a shorter speed session or fartlek (speed-play) with intensity raising to 4/5 for short periods. There are training programmes to get you to marathon on 3 runs a week - it’s the effort variation which is the key (and the rest days). View the 10Ks as “marker points” where you run your Half target race pace or even slightly faster (like a tempo run). Hope this helps...don’t push too soon too early, but you are starting from a strong base. Twat | |||

"Ran my first 10k for years on Saturday after a doing few park runs. Felt good doing it but I can hardly walk now! - calves are sooo stiff. I did stretches etc Any advice would be great Stiff in the wrong places "A bit more regular training over longer distances? (You didn’t say how much you trained for the 10K) | |||

"Took a week out after my 10k but did start to feel guilty so went out on Monday and did a little 4 k... Right I have a question regards a training programme. .. The half marathon I've booked on is in October. I've also got a couple of 10k races between now and then.. The running plan is a 12 week plan tho I still have around 22 weeks. What I'm planning on doing is taking my running all the way up to almost full distance at around 13 weeks out.. then dropping ithe right back down to a couple of miles and rebuilding.. I'm going this do this on a run 3 times per week.. Would any body advise me to do it this way or is there another way.. Thanks for any advice There’s lots of ways to do this, and I’m sure other coaches will chip in later. My preferred way to do this is to build up your longer run (for stamina at a perceived effort level of 2/5) at the weekend slowly over the whole period...and there’s no problem in actually going over distance with a half (so up to a max of 15 miles if you are comfortable). The other two sessions in the week should be spaced out, with one concentrating on speed-stamina (longer intervals of 1-2K times 3 at a perceived effort level of 3/5), and the other being a shorter speed session or fartlek (speed-play) with intensity raising to 4/5 for short periods. There are training programmes to get you to marathon on 3 runs a week - it’s the effort variation which is the key (and the rest days). View the 10Ks as “marker points” where you run your Half target race pace or even slightly faster (like a tempo run). Hope this helps...don’t push too soon too early, but you are starting from a strong base. Twat" As T says. The easiest way to do fartlek is to use lampposts. Pick a lamppost in a bit up the road and walk/jog to it. Then sprint for one (later 2 or more) lamppost then jog again for your recovery. | |||

my legs are like lead and just don't want to run but i persisted running with some walking 6.7k....i still haven't done anything on the 10k app, would that be easier on a flat run? Either that or i might start the run at the top of the hill and see how i do

Start to stretch daily, just 5 or 10 minutes combined with a warm up when you run will make a huge difference "Research on stretching is not conclusive in making any huge differences to recovery...but anecdotally I find it a great way to refocus, chill a bit & it is just plain pleasant to do rather than getting back home rushing about to get dinner/housework etc..an extra bit of me time at the end of the run. That said eat & drink as soon as is practical after a run to begin the recovery process & minimise soreness/dead legs next time, rehydrate, get some carbs with an amount of protein in, peanut butter sandwich with honey & a glass of water works for me. | |||

Done badly it can be damaging as well. Whatever works for you but stretch gently, correctly (do the research) and don’t bounce! For the record, I never stretched and had a successful running career over 10-12 years. It was also the subject of my extended piece of work as part of my PGCE. | |||

"I’ve just started training again but I’m pretty sure I have peroneal tendonitis in one of my feet. Has anyone else managed to still train and get rid of it?" The things suggested on the interweb are rest, ice, and specific stretching exercises...so I guess training on it without diagnosis isn’t a good idea. Sports physio? Like all injuries that are persistent really. Your local running club will probably be able to point you somewhere, either on their website, or message board, or by contacting them by email.

I think next week will either go very well or very bad as I've not done any long runs since Brighton marathon 6 weeks ago. But after that it's a shit in focus with nothing other than 5 amd 10kms planned for the summer | |||

Good luck. | |||
