i might, just to make sure you ones arent taking any shortcuts.
If Helga (or Olga) were behind me, I might actually be able to run the 5k in under 20 minutes. 0 -

I'm probably not the best person to be advising on matters of the heart. These things have a way of sorting themselves out, do they not? :rolleyes: 0 -

This is ridiculous. I seriously think I will have the dubious honor of being the most unfit going into GV. Went to the gym today, what I discovered was worrying.
Set the treadmill to 3 miles (as the "target" apparently for starting is 3 miles without stopping). I managed 0.70 miles @ 5mph before whacking the big red stop button. I have little over a month to improve this. Just hope its enough time.
I don't feel quite so bad now. Thanks for cheering me up pal.
We don't have to run the 5k until week 5 of our training, so we've got about two months to improve.

Make sure you run up plenty of hills in advance of tackling the trail in GV . I saw it today and made me sweat just looking at it. Mind you, that could also have been due to the fact that I'd just seen my good mate Mr.Anderson all uniformed up. Rocking the High Viz Jacket he was!!! 0 -

Join us on our runs... see the first few runs and gym visits... they hurt
But i've done a few now and spend currently 50 mins on either xtrainer or treadmill and its not so bad now. Once your body gets over the initial shock you'll be suprised how quickly you progress at first.
I think above advice is good on the whole, take it slow at first and don't be disheartened if your performance is not what you hoped initially 0 -
