"Hello, Sorry about the lateness of this thread. You've all been doing really well! Most of us anyway ![]() I've been doing a lot of that too. And crisp eating... And chocolate eating... However, I did run 6 miles tonight and do hill sprints on Tuesday night. | |||

"Despite my lack of running I found myself chatting to a vanilla female runner at 1am this morning about entering runs further than any distance I have completed ![]() 10k. Furthest I have done is 8k in practice. Looking at pictures of last year it looks like lots of fully kitted out runners rather than some scruffbag in his old jogging bottoms and cheap trainers. Have to cough up money in advance and given I have been missing out on stuff for 5 months now due to being poorly am paranoid about booking anything. ![]() | |||

"Can someone give me a kick up the arse to start training for London marathon please?! I’m shit at training - did Birmingham half in October; training was 3 miles....." I thought I was bad at doing long miles but just 3 miles is pushing it!!! Seriously though, London is amazing but you have to treat the marathon with the respect it deserves. There's nothing wrong with being slow, but there are always backmarkers who are unprepared (which is not the same thing, you can be slow and well prepared) and having an utterly miserable time | |||

"I have booked my first 10k for early April, and just completed run 2 of week 6 of couch to 5k. Lost a month with a minor muscle issue.. " Whatever you do, listen to your body and don't train injured! I was a reasonably serious distance runner (not to any good level but decent times and training loads). I ignored an injury and spent 18 months getting back to it - only just able to start back properly. Good luck for the 10k. Believe you can do it and you will! | |||

"Week 2 of c25k completed yesterday. Now crapping myself over starting week 3 tomorrow! May slow down the running sections to 5.5mph as I’m ready to collapse (calves aching) at the end of 90s at 6mph" Congratulations. There seems to be different C25K programmes. The one I lead at work doesn’t mention speeds, just times. I think slowing down is a good idea. I found speed came a lot later than keeping moving when I first started running. Best of luck with it. | |||
