Someone at work reckons I should be running 10 miles at least now but I'm at 6
Ignore your colleague. You have plenty of time to build up the distance and it sounds like you are taking the right approach in adding a mile every couple of weeks. 10 miles is a big mental barrier for a lot of people but once you are running double figure distances another mile or two often doesn't seem so daunting.

Folks. I'm doing a half marathon in September, I started from no running late last year and had shin splints (cleared up now).
Someone at work reckons I should be running 10 miles at least now but I'm at 6. I did the couch to half 12 week thing from the run website and now I'm just slowly ticking my distance up by a mile every few weeks.
Just a bit concerned I'm not gonna finish.
