I second suggestions of joining a club, which is just as good for adding a bit of variety of running opportunities as it is for getting fitter/faster/whatever. And I'll obviously push Kent AC at Ladywell as a recommendation! PM me if you want any details.
I brought forward plans to start sub-3 pacing practise last night, mainly cos I was a bit pushed for time anyway so I thought I might as well get a wriggle on. 10 windy miles @ 6:46/m, felt pleasingly comfortable. (Apart from pressing on for the uphill bits, stubbornly keeping inside target pace!)
Oh, has anyone got experience of Adidas Solar Drive Boost? I saw them reasonably priced online and went for it. Reviews suggest they're closer in feel to my old favourite Glide Boost, compared to the softer Supernova/Solar Glide models that are supposed to have replaced them.

Dear Forum,
Please may I have some suggestions for what to do next with my running?
I shall set the scene. Five years ago, I was at my running "peak", with weekly mileage of 35mi or so. Since then I've had a really shit time with injury and laziness, most recently tearing my ACL and meniscus and having to gradually build myself from 30 second jogs up to where I am now which is running for 35 minutes four times per week, every week, with ease. I'm a big unit and I'm slow, so that's only about 13 or 14 miles per week depending on the wind (fuck the last week of weather!). I'm niggle free and feeling strong right now.
I want to aim towards a time goal, perhaps running for 60 minutes, four times per week. I'm in no rush to get there. I'm bored with my current routine.
Does anybody have any suggestions on a decent plan to follow? Perhaps a fun 10k training plan, given that I'm so slow? Suggestions would be very much appreciated.
