Hi there,
First time on this site and just registered. I'm new to the running game and enjoying it a lot. My girlfriend and I are running the Nike 10k in Hyde Park on 8th October and have been training quite hard for it over the last six weeks or so. I think we are both a bit nrevous about it but excited as well. I'm confident we'll finish (hopefully) without too many problems - I think it is just a psychological thing of not having run that distance before...
I found a training plan on the internet and that is what we've been following - seems to be doing the trick - running four times a week. We will be doing a 60 minute run on Sunday which is the longest we have done! When we first saw the plan we laughed at the idea of running for an hour but now it seems to within our grasp - I guess we'll find out on Sunday!
Look forward to meeting some fellow runners on here and picking up some much needed tips.
Take care,
Simon.
