Good luck
I'm not even going to think about doing any kind of long distances like that until I can crack 6k without turning into a wheezing, sweating, lumbering mess
You don't necessarily have to have done huge distances before taking part in a massively long distance run either. When the boyfriend did half marathon he'd never ran more than 10k, and when he did a marathon he'd never run more than a half.

the same distance wise,b4 i moved it was nearer a 25 mile round trip.

i go as quick as possible,but as i'm running,spinning and a little weight training..

i don't always have it there to go all out.

LRG the key to running is to find a slow pace you are comfortable at and to not stop. Ever. Once you stop you might as well give up, your legs will just sieze up. Key is to make sure you finish the run.

I was running loads with a mate but then we packed it in for the gym. Need to get back on it. The most I'd run was around 11 miles and felt fine after that. Also get yourself some proper running trainers will make a world of difference.

Find out how you pronate and get the right shoes according to it should help with injuries.

but i've been working on improving my obla(sp) basically,improving my HR and being able to go full on for longer.

i run to of home from work 1/2 a week at moment,which like i say is about 9 miles.

I've got some pretty good running trainers at the moment and never feel any aches or pains the next day so I think I'm going something right Also boyfriend reckons my knee problems were because I'm running all over Hampstead Heath which is really hilly so it's putting strain on my knees when I come down a hill. Sticking to mostly flat areas for the time being

oog's advice on the correct running shoe is spot on,if you can,find a shop with a treadmill and they will help massively.

I'm out this converstaion. Wake me up when we speak about how cool Keith Moon was

Thats pretty impressive. I should maybe think about factoring in a few runs possibly...

Who's Keith Moon?
