So..... running

[lostkat]

Some good advice there, which I will endeavor to take on board. Thank you. Would you recommend any books to novices? I'm not bothered about racing to beat people or running marathons, but it'd be good to get some tips. I've started posting in the n00b section on Runners World again as I found that helped last time

With regards to a training plan, I've found an 8 week plan which I will follow leading up to the 10km. For now, I'll just work on distance and endurance though. If I can get back up to 8km comfortably then I'll be really happy and can start working on speed

I've also been thinking about maybe joining a club. There's one very local to me who meet on a Tuesday or Friday at 7pm and they do a buddy system for n00bs where they partner them with someone experienced. I might pop along one Friday once I can comfortably manage 6-7km. I can switch to Tuesdays once I finish Uni in May It'll be a cracking replacement for Uni. The club also runs a 10km in August. It's cross country and very hilly. Eek!
