Having never run before I worked to a plan by Zen Labs, it got me to 10k within the time period and that is from not being able to run for 1min (i kid you not, not even 1 min without my legs cramping).

I have nothing but praise for the plan.

If you are an established runner though i am sure people would be able to build up their own plan to suit their needs.

indeed thanks Grendel3, I have learned so much from everyone in the last 5 months, Sunday is now D-Day lol.

Emmy, i would take your advice of not running but when at Christmas I was told by some close family members i would never run 10k cos i am unfit and too fat, it was red rag to a bull.

Having lost over 2st in weight and can now run 10k, i simply have to run it and suffer any consequences afterwards.

Possibily blinkered and stupid but proving that point has to be made and the determination is there to do it.

I emailed the Manchester 10k people last night as I budgeted for 75 mins, but my training has been at 62 mins.

You can move back in waves no problem but moving forward is on request with evidence.

I have asked to move from Pink to Blue, which will also mean running with 2 friends. I have supplied evidence of my run time from my Garmin download.

Anyone know the chances of being able to switch waves?

I have a problem with tight muscles and a slight pulled groin, had two sports massages done in the last week and they say i am ok to run, just wanted to take a little of the edge of it to help improve my time.

This is my first ever run, so i am learning all the time, and i was close to 60 mins before the pull, not run for 3 weeks now but it is on the mend.

So i will run the race then deal with it after and wait a month or two to let it heal whilst i do strengthening exercises.

That is my plan anyway.
