I'm about to start running after injuring my thumb to the degree that i can't do any other activity, no cycling allowed because I can't hold handlebars as the brace restricts all movement.
Focus on form for the first week. Not speed. Use your core, think about your stride and how you're moving.
Its far less technical than good efficient form while skating, but the concept applies.
Also its only fun when you're good at it. Running sucks when you haven't done it in a while because you lose your form.... So really its about getting a lot in the first week in a comfortable methodical self aware manner and getting your form back.
Any runner whose fallen off the wagon a few times knows this.

I signed up for a park run and im looking for pointers. Im pretty fit, I play hockey twice a week and 5-a-side once a week and cycle my short commute with at least one or two lengthier cycles a month. I reckon a 25 minute 5k should be my target for tomorrow because i have no idea how fast/slow i'll be. Any advice?
