  • Afternoon kiddos. I've created a little 'take up running' plan for myself which basically looks like:

    • book a public 5k run in April and tell all my pals about it for accountability
    • write up a little training plan (based on couch to 5k, which I've done before and enjoyed) to get me regularly running 5ks at least a week or two before the main race

    Is there anything obviously mad about that? I've not really had to do much run planning before.

  • Committing to things publicly I’ve always found to be a particularly good motivator. You can also join LFGSS Strava for some moral support/kudos

    The plan itself looks fine. Good luck!

  • ^ Agree with the above.

    On the same notion, I'm not really a competition type but think a public run of some sort could be the commitment I need to to step up to more regular / adventurous efforts.

    Are there any trail-y / off-road LDN 10kms to look out for?

  • This looks like a great plan! Good luck - keep posting in this thread to let us all know how you're getting on.

  • Sounds like a good plan. I would mix in some simple strength work to keep yourself injury free. There's some great YouTube follow along ones you can do. Nothing major 15mins a couple of times a week. Something I neglected when starting a 5k plan.

  • I’ve been doing this plus the old pushing-the-wall-calf-stretch after every run, seems to be working, no DOMs or injuries so far 🤞
