I am returning or wanting to return to competitive running after retiring in 2000.
I was a competitive club runner and able to run in the high 5 and low 6 min miles.
Since I quit I have put on 2 stone but also been on the weights and so my frame is larger than I was .. I used to run at around 13 9 and I am now 15 7 ish and going up and down!
I have done some training runs to see where I am at and it seems that I still have the endurance as in I did 4 8 milers 2 weeks ago and recovered very well and have done one 9 miler and some 3 milers ... best 3 miler is 23.44 but I have done a 21 on the treadmill a couple of weeks ago.
I would like to do some 10k's again and maybe do a 5 k race in the middle of the training as I think I will pick up fitness very well .. at the moment with 3 weeks runs here and there my resting pulse is 46 but used to be 34
I would like to train at least 4 times a week with some track work so could anyone give me any decent 10k tips please.... I have done this before but I want to start from scratch.
To help you
I am 36 in 2 weeks

Cheers :embarrassed:
