[Biglips]

as ive been in the gym since march and been running on the treadmill since a month...but not every day though

Guidance please?

thanks

Make sure you have the right shoes. There are different sorts depending on how your foot strikes the floor and you may also want to choose a style that suits the terrain - tarmac or off-road. Good shoes will help you run better and help protect your feet/knees from too many aches and pains.

There are lots of running websites which have plans to stick to for all abilities. They usually advise to start by running for a short period, then walking, then running again etc. A good guide is on the Macmillan Race for Life website - that will get you up to 5km.

There is also a MN Runners thread which appears from time to time.

Good luck.

ooh thanks ill have a look at it now
