I've always preferred much longer distance, have stamina rather than speed. But my body can't cope with the miles and miles of pounding any more and so I'm restricted to max 10km, twice a week and lots of pilates, stretches etc to keep me pain free.
I need a new challenge though and so would like to get my 5km time back to what it was pre children. (nothing special, like I say, I'm not fast ).
I can do a monthly handicap with the local running club and have my times from that pre children so I know I need to try and know 2 and a half minutes off, minimum.
I'd love to find a programme to follow to tell me exactly what to do as then i will do it. It I have to be inventive myself, I think I'll fail.
I need to do my running during the day other wise I would do the running club sessions which I know are fab but... too many other evening commitments at the moment mean that it wouldn't be fair to also sneak off running when there is nothing to stop me doing it during the day.
So, any good programmes on line that you know off? Or (pleading voice now) any knowledgable runner care to write me one??
TIA
