Looking for a good quality running jacket, must be waterproof and preferably with a hood as I intend to (eventually!) use it for mountain marathons. Thanks!

Thanks, a 18:23 5K and 39:10 10K. The 30 miles is usually a longer 12 mile once a week, two tempo runs at 4 miles each then two fast 5 mile runs. I train with a club and we do track sessions twice a week mostly speedwork. Thanks anyway

I'm new to the forums but currently I can run a 39 minute 10K comfortably and an 18 minute 5K. Also a a mile in at least 5:30. I want to train for a sub 35 10K and sub 17 5K in a year (50 weeks)? I do about 30 miles a week at the moment already. Is it possible? What sort of training would be best? And are there any books/resources I can use? Thank you!

Oh okay cheers for the replies everyone, I'll probably get some spikes soon and get practising and look upon it as an introductory learning session.

I'm planning on building up the mileage and getting a lot of trail running (with hill sessions in) done

My university is hoping to enter the BUCS cross country championships on 4th February, it's a 10K cross country course. I've got a PB of 38:43 on a road course and my aim is to place quite high up the field.

What training should I be doing? Should I be doing strength training for better stability off road? How many runs should I get in per week? Should I be factoring in interval training, fartlek and hill reps?

Thanks very much!
