Hi I am 44 and started running after having a bad back for a couple of years. I have been running for about 8 weeks and have certainly felt the benefits of it. I started the walk/run schedule but am now managing to run 2 miles (great achievement considering could'nt manage to walk 1/2 a mile 6 months ago). My query relates to training and how I should step up my training for the 5K race for life in June. I have had a few niggling pains in my knee when I run but just try and keep going. I try and run work/children committments aside 5 times a week and try and get some swimming in around this. Please any advice on what I should be doing to reach my goal to raise some money for charity would be appreciated. I run on the road as our nearest gym is 15 miles away.
Thanks to any one who responds to this.
