dubtap-
you were never tempted to speed it up or run for longer? it looks about the same for the first 12 weeks as the one I've chosen for now
that's serious mileage @Greenbank

@Rikki I just started out too, figured running would be nice when there's not so much time or the weather is too foul to get on the bike. My gf (who runs 3 times a week but never goes out riding with me - boo) got me some adidas trainers as a gift. And now some hardcore cycling mates are starting to call me a traitor...
I'm 44 and my fitness level is OK due to 10k of cycling every year for the past 4 years, so the main thing I guess is to build up slowly to get muscles, tendons and joints to grow used to the impact?
Now I'm just back from my second 'absolute beginner' session. But is this boring?! 5x1 minute jogging/2 minute walking intervals... slowly increasing running time over 6-8 weeks to come... yyyaaawwwwwnn ;-)
