while we wait...
My GF started running last year with the intention of building up to this year's Reading Half. She absolutely loved it and I was massively impressed by her progress but she got injured and had to defer her entry to next year. She's kept running on and off since spring but she keeps picking up injuries. We've been really careful to stop he building the mileage too quickly and so I'm increasingly convinced that the only way for her to progress is to build up a broader base of strength and fitness to support her run. We definitely aren't after a tri programme but a running programme which balances lower running mileage with complimentary swim/bike/gym. Injury prevention is the key.
Does anyone have any advise for good programmes they've followed that seem to work? Or maybe we're taking completely the wrong approach?
