    Training for 5k - update

    I know everyone is dying to know what's been going on with my training.

    After someone suggested couch to 5k I found the NHS version which has podcasts. A bird tells you when to walk and when to run. I'm on week 6 and can run for 20 mins now non stop. It's a great plan. 9 weeks to get running for 30 mins.

    Well, you've got 365 posts so far and I doubt very much you'll escape ban before you reach 1000.

          russel is by far the dullest sockie of the year.

          I blame mods - approval of new posts takes ages and they are allegedly very selective when it comes to nicknames and IPs

              Hi Russell,

              9 weeks training to run a 5K! You must be quite unfit. How many times per week are you running?

              But well done anyway for giving it a go.

              Here's a few links to some podcasts and some other stuff.

              Runners Roundtable (podcasts)
              TalkShoe - Call - The Runners Roundtable

              In this link, the bloke with the long hair is Anton. Bloke in green jacket is Scott Jurek. These are two of the worlds top ultra runners.
              . <- that thing is the link.

              If you are feeling a bit more adventurous after the mighty 5K, try fell running, it's loads of fun.

                Fell running is pretty hazardous, he might get seriously hurt or even kille... never mind.

                Fell running is a great idea, he'll love it and should try it immediately ideal way to train for the 5k!

                  Tyke given how miserable you are I think you should just call it day. Here is one way...



                  Then you can die doing what you love and the only thing you are good at.

                    9 weeks is the plan, I hadn't run before so had to start somewhere. Here is the plan I am on week 6.

                    Thanks for the links, look interesting.
