Lurkio,

Why not look for a nice 10k on runners world? Or be adventerous and book up to a half in the autumn. I booked up about 6 months before my first one and was fine, having run about 4 miles 3 times a week prior to starting my training.

Its great fun planning races, and it can get addictive...although my time has been taken up with the marathon. I am looking to touring about a bit doing halfs, a much more civilised distance!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

that is scary talk...... I have never run 10k in my life!! I am increasing the distance of my slow run... err... slowly and maybe when / if I get to 10k there I might think about it - can't even entertain the thought of a half :eek:

10k would be a target to aim at, however......... :think:

Come on Lurky....no more lurking.....you know you wanna get that 10k done.:D

Seriously, you are going about it the right way, start off cautiously and build up, but that race on the calendar will boost your training.

Damn you, making me look :mad: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Right, there are two 10k's that I can get to on foot. One is September, when I will only be off my holidays a couple of weeks before, and I am NOT running on my hols. Far too hot for one thing

The other is at the beginning of July, which would only give me 2 months training

IF I was to do one, which do you suppose would I have the best chance of surviving?

(look how big that if' is :rotfl:)

10k?? Yeah, go on....go for the July one. You will definatly be able to get round if you have managed a few fastish Park Runs, so plenty of time to improve your distance up to 10k.
Then you will have your marker down for all the others!!

Which one is it...

C'mon Lurks - You can do it. :T:j:T:j:T

If I am going to toodle around 10k in the end of May (only started running in January and being slight overweight ) I am sure that you will fly through yours.

Off to update my training schedule....

Well, you are aiming to get back to your PB which I think is a pretty decent time.and I think with your plan you listed earlier that target time would lead on to a respectable 10k

Anyway, its all relative....you will set your own target to beat...and thats all that matters.

Marru, not long to go then..... all ok on the training front?
