  • Yeah that's pretty impressive.

    I've been running for a month now after bumping in to an ultra-runner in the middle of the Cairngorms and being totally inspired.

    It's going pretty well, I'm running 4 times per week now, normally 5k>10k>5k>10k but this week I've bumped it up to 10k>15k>10k>15k. I'm not recording myself at the moment, but building my pace as I feel it naturally, oh and avoiding roads/paved surfaces as much as possible.

  • 5k>10k>5k>10k but this week I've bumped it up to 10k>15k>10k>15k

    Awesome if it's working but honestly would caution against 50%+ jumps week on week. Running is hard and is hard on the body, ease yourself in and ease yourself up to the distance. Maybe you wont get injured but if I ramped distance like that I'd be fucked

  • Thanks for the heads up! I wont be doing another increase like this for a while I believe, it was just getting back up to speed after blowing the cobwebs off.
