I am thinking about it.. the thing is I don't do any form of exercise so I doubt I could run to the shop let alone 6 miles!! How long would I have to train if I was to do it???? I would really love to meet all you guys so I would like to be able to do it.......:rolleyes::rolleyes:

The sooner you start the better prepared you'll be but you could hold off until after Xmas and still have plenty of time to train for a 10k. I'll be training from March (touch wood) for a 10k in May if that helps put it in perspective...

first of all you book a babysitter, then you book the travelodge in leeds vicar lane for sat 20th June, and maybe sunday 22nd, then you book your place at www.leedsrunforall.co.uk


We'll worry about the running in a minute.....!

Yay Luc glad you are using it.

Me, running.... dunno 10k is a lot. I am getting into swimming at the mo, but running... when I ran I felt immersed in it, I'm a lot lazier now :rotfl:

Weekend away would be nice though :think:

I am off work today, I phoned my manager at 8 and explained I've been up half the night with a migraine and said I was going to get a bit more sleep, and then work from home. Well she emailed me a sickness form so if it is going down as a day's absence I am a bit reluctant to do anything. But I have loooads to do. Can't win, can I?

Oh and last night I dreamt I was pregnant again :eek:

Hey DD - if you've been a runner then i strongly believe the notion never leaves you (not that i'd know cause i stop n start every year! determined to run thru the winter this year and not need to retrain again for summer)

If you're swimming then it will only help your fitness in preparation for running... and the head space you get from running just cannot be beaten....

I think you could easily manage a 10k with minimal training.... it would be ace if this became a real DFW run!!!

Jane - you need to start by wearing trainers as i believe it isn't recommended that a person run in 4 inch heels, and that does seem to be all you ever buy/wear!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

As you're a skinny chick now too then running is a lot easier for you naturally as you don't have to carry excess weight... start by getting into your gear and walking for maybe a couple of miles... they do say walking is the best way to build muscle strength and you build up distance and introduce the running in later... so say a 4 mile walk with a 5 minute running section at the end... then you make that 8 minutes at the end, then 12 minutes, then 20 and before you know it you are running most of it....

6 miles would take the average runner around an hour, i'm aiming for 1.5hours as i generally need a 15 minte mile, but with training that will improve....

The other way to develop(which is how i began) is to go out walk a minute, run a minute for say 20 minutes... then expand length of time running, and duration of time out of the house...

An hours training twice a week will get your round a 10k course no bother....
