Well done Chris!
Exercise goals are great. You should get to 10k in no time and sub 60 is doable.
Do you do interval training? That might help. Fast for 1 min, normal for 2. You can play about with the fast/normal times. That's a good way of getting faster. I know ur under 10min miling at the moment but it'll help when you increase ur miles.
Do u do any cross training? (apart from weights)
Do you have a nearby parkrun? They are timed 5ks on a sat or sun every week, which everyone raves about. I must find one near to me.
I'm supposed to do the London marathon but think I will have to defer my place. Ill never get to 26.2 between now n April without doing serious damage. I've ran few marathons before (last one chester 2012, so i know whats involved) Already have an injury. My goal is triathlons which run from June to September. Done a few of these too so I know that the training won't worsen my injury. Olympic distance is 1m swim, 25m bike, 6m run and sprint is 1/2m swim, 12m bike, 3m run. That should get me fit but not knacker knees and hips. First goal us to reduce weight a bit.
When are you going to book a 10k? You'll love it!
Have a nice day

TH I will start interval training once I get back from Vietnam. For the moment I want to try and stay steady state with as low a heart rate as I can. Once I come off TS and increase my calories I will start increasing the pace.
My plan is to increase the distance by 1 km every 2 weeks, once I get upto 8 or 9 I will prob drop the distance on 1 or 2 of the days.
No I haven't enrolled yet waiting for the new posting plot to come out so I know where I will be next year.

Hope today is a dizzy free day for you Chris. Take it easy. I felt like that on one of my runs last time I did VLCD and had to lie down with my legs elevated against a tree. Not a good look. Fingers crossed that u regain equilibrium.
