Good luck mate! My partner did her first half marathon the other week and swore never to do one again

Big day here. Running in the Cardiff World Half. First proper event at the distance.

Are these numbers cumulative? I thought you were pumping these distances daily!

Cumulative mate. Going from a real low level of fitness here.

I'm going to give P90X3 another try as it sits well with my schedule and goals.

Miles off mate. Id be around 35m if I was even managing 5k.

Couch to 5k takes about 5 weeks to get to that distance. So its a few weeks off yet.

You guys probably have a better idea of what it takes to do what he did.

Something to aim at ?

No ****ing chance. He must have aged 10 years doing those 27 marathons.

Good work Alex What sort of 5K times are you getting at the moment, are you far off 25m?

[Saveloy]

Alex: 20.6km

Running again has made me remember why I enjoyed it so much the first few times round. My stated goal of a sub 25m 5K time is something I really want to achieve. Does not seem easy from my current fitness levels .

Saveloy. Is my fat arse getting out running inspiring you even more

Yes it is. It's making me think I should try to focus on running a bit faster and building up my distance, rather than plodding through the kilometres.
