    This one starts at 5k/5mile level, though it does include some speed-work.

    Load of running advice here... http://www.dedic8.org.uk my advice is to run as much as you can, listen to your body, your body will tell you when you need rest. Most people set mental barriers and can run a lot further than they realise. Also many people need less recovery than what is commonly thought. Great post by the legend Dean Karnazes talking about the uncomfortable truth of recovery on that website... but this means you should still listen to your body as we are all different
