Hi All, remember me ! have not posted in ages.

Hope every one is training hard, any PB's in the last three weeks or so ?

Ran a 10k on Sunday 1 hr 1 min 50 sec. pleased with the time as i did not train much leading up to the race.

Just read a few posts, am I right in thinking some of us are going to run a 10k race together in the midlands ?

I live in Lincolnshire, so could possibly make it. Derby sounds good.

Hi Jenny,

                 I would increase your distance slowly and don't worry about time until you can complete the distance ( 10k ).

               It took me ages to run 5k in under 33 min. same as you when I first started running i could not run for more than a minute.

             I am sure there will be more advise on the way, keep us all posted on your progress.

Susie po, good luck for next week.

The only advantage with going off to quick is you put 'time in the bank', which i definitely needed on Sunday ! I always start to get slower after about 6 / 7 miles. Have done two other half marathons this year and ended up run walking the last 3 / 4 miles of both of them, so really pleased I managed to run all the way on Sunday.

Well done Kaybee, 30th very impressive.

Susie po, hows the leg ? 

Finished the half marathon in 2 hrs 23 min 17 sec. took 25 seconds off last years time for a PB.            Only 25 seconds in a year, I must change my training plan !!

Went off a bit quick, must have been in 10k mode, first 2 miles in under 10 min. mile pace. Managed to slow myself down a bit after that but still did 10k in about 1hr 3 min.  Just got slower after that and did the last 3 miles in 11:30 min mile pace.
