Hello folks, Names Glyn, 27 and just getting into running after years of only playing football.
In August 2006 i broke my Ankle playing football, and was off my feet for 4 months (it was a worse than just a break, itore all my ligaments and tendons and needed a pin and all sorts of ops!!!) anyway when i was back and started physio they suggested going for runs to get it back better.. so i did, for longer and longer and further and further.
The to challenge my elf i did one of them "Run for Moore" Runs at 5k which at the time seemed like miles!! I trained hard and did it in 23 minutes! It was great fun a real buzz and the chalange to beat your body was what kept me going!
I then wanted to go further and 2 weekends ago after again lots of traning (my own plan!) i did 10k (Weston park for Cancer Reserch)that in 46.56 which i was very pleased with for a first time. I know i could have done it quicker and it was pretty hilly, and was ok at the end which shocked me!
Anyway, i have resolved to do a half maraton next and thats where this place comes, in as im in need of advice, on should i do another 10k, how to train for a half marathon, and if with the times above, im anywhere near ready for it...
I fancy the Bath Half marathon next year, but dont know if thats an acivable time frame.
So any thoughts people??
