[Running Man]

Thought I'd say hello. I'm reasonably new to running but only recently have a been truly bitten by the running bug.

I ran my first competitive race the other day at the London Tri and managed to do the 10k in 44 mins which I thought was decent for a first go. Am now getting ready for a relay marathon early october which is 8.6 miles so I thought as I'm getting more serious it might help to get some input from those in the know. I look forward to using the forum.

Hey and welcome to RF 44 mins is indeed a good first go at the 10k, so you're obviously at a good level of fitness already. Keep working towards the relay marathon in October, there's always scope for improvement!

Events are great for motivation, aren't they? I remember when I ran the Great South in 2006, I was blown away at the atmosphere - hadn't ever been in an event of that size. It makes you want to go out and get that feeling again! Good luck with your training!

Welcome to the forum!

I was down in London over the weekend and managed to watch some of the triathlon, in between drinking beer and watching footie. 44 mins for a 10km is a good time, especially when you have done the swim and cycle beforehand.

Welcome to the forum!
I reckon if I hadnt taken part in an event I would have given up running by now, but the bug has well and truly bitten me and its good to hear by the sounds of it you are also hooked No going back now!
