I'm only on week 2 of the beginners guide, but I think we'll be stepping it up to week 3 tonight - run 3 mins, walk 2 mins covering 3.63km in 30 minutes. I was a bit overeager in the first week, and managed to hurt myself. Had to take a week and a half out, so have fallen behind where I want to be. Should have been starting week 4 by now. The race is on June 21st, and I'm hoping to able to run (or at least jog) the whole distance.

Ok then 30secs inside.....40mins.
Steady sensible training should see you get round in 39'30"...fingers crossed.

Race you there? Happy to accept the challenge, as long as I have until VLM 2010 to complete it? 
JBBury... I'm yet to run ONE sub 5min mile! I *should* be able to... but I haven't done it yet, lol. Depending on any time limits imposed, I'll accept the challenge

Ooooh this is a fantastic idea. I wouldn't mind being challenged. I'm not really a runner yet either, first run is 10k in May.
