no-one?

I used to run a lot when I was at School/College, but then stopped. I started running again around June/July this year (before the olympics started, I remember everyone asking after a few weeks if I was only doing it becuase of the olympics lol).

Anyway, I try 3 sessions a week, doing a few miles each time. However, I've not done anything for a month until earlier this week (Tuesday 23rd to be exact) due to a light ankle sprain.

I've entered my first race which is the Bolsover 10k on December 16th. When I went for a run on Tuesday I felt unfit, and the same again yesterday.

I really need to get a constant run as I find I run a mile quick, and then slow down. I don't seem to be able to run "slow enough" to maintain a constant pace.

Also, I'd like to be doing around 15-20miles a week before the year is out. Is this reasonable, and would anyone be kind enough to give me an idea of a plan? I was thinking of something like 3/7/5 miles routes.

here's a link to my Endomondo profile with times etc: http://www.endomondo.com/profile/5812686

And that is why F1 drivers have a flashing red light during wet races. A flashing light gets more notice than a light that is permanently on.

Think about it, zebra crossings, amber lights on skips/traffic cones, police lights (extreme example I know), hazards, rail crossings etc etc.... Anything that needs attention flashes!

running at night is safe! I wear white shorts, lumo green shirt and if I know I'll be on roads with poor lighting, I have a reflective band with a red flashing LED.

However, the past 2 nights, every runner I've come across (around 7 so far) have all been in black with little to no reflective clothing to be seen!

Running at night is as safe or as dangerous as you make it IMO!

Cheers for that.

Basically, I went to NYC last year, and noticed a few runners. I wasn't activly running out the time, but liked the idea of it.

Me and SWMBO are going in 2014 for our 30ths. I week in NYC and a week in Vegas, I plan on running around Central Park one morning. Would be nice to be able to track it too.
