.Just take things easy, and enjoy every new achievement as it comes. You might care to look at the INSPIRE thread AM,Well done if you can run 3.2k in 30 mins you are almost on schedule for a 5k in 5 weeks don't worry about following a 5k beginners programme

Having been given training schedules for the Great North Run from GOSH i notice that they are Runners World scehedules. Can somebody please tell me what is a 5k pace, 10k pace, easy, jog etc. As a fairly new runner i am confused. Does somebody have

to build up endurance or sticking at 10kph and slowly extending my time?Any suggestions appreciated.- Anthony Hi AnthonyHow about choosing a 5k schedule and following that as that's pretty much what you seem to be trying to achieve- there are plenty about

incorporate a few 5ks into that schedule?? Yes I did kind of answer my own question! I guess I'm just unsure if I should follow a schedule for 5k, then upon completion follow a 10k plan then progress onto the half...etc. Could I just continue with a plan

I'm wondering whether I need to start doing some speed work now?My new PB for a 5k is 42:15 which I set last night, but when I see myself in car/shop windows it looks like I'm barely moving. I have tried running a bit faster but this pushes my HR up

, most people start with a run/walk aimed at running for 30mins. That will enable you to run a 5k race, then you can work towards a 10k, 10 mile or half marathon. What half marathon have you entered? I've only ever seen 12-week half mara programmes

(accoriding to a schedule [which i got from this site by the way] i should be running 5k at this point anyway].if i email the schedule would anyone be willing to have a look at for me (a PDF file) - i feel the speed work is a bit too much for me just now so

. I mapped out 5k when I started running on mapmyrun because a 5k race is my first target and then I'll go to 10k and have been doing that route but until today I have not timed myself as I don't have a watch!!My run tonight I did in 24 minutes 56

A bit random I put the questions first and the background story after if you want a read. CheersI want to get my 5k time down to 16.30. Questions:To people who have done it can I ask how how you did it ?Also - if you have the speed for a summer 4

that is). I'm doing the 6 week 5K schedule and adding a bit to it because I feel I can. I'm in the fourth week and have just run 5K in 38 mins 26 secs. Well done on your 30 mins. Wish I could do the same. I want to run 8k as a regular session 3 times a
